about

Written and recorded during the lockdowns of 2020 due to COVID-19. Each song is an account and an homage to some of the most important people missing from my already uprooted life. Being an only child, my Friends have always been my confidants, my keepers and my muse. I've lived in a few places and never have had a group of friends that has inspired and accepted me more than the ones immortalized on this record. The isolation began to get to me and I realized the only thing different in my life was the lack of interactions I had with these people and the best way for me to work through the insanity that was 2020, was to write music about it. Though very personal and very real, I don't take myself too seriously, there is humor, confusion, inspiration and the gamut of human emotions in these songs. 2020 has been a weird year but I'm proud of the art it has inspired not just from me, but from the world as a whole. I believe that in times of adversity, people really seem to adjust to the important things. The most important things to me, are my Friends.

Please enjoy this cast of characters, to know them is to love them.
