My new single “Navel Tree” was released into the world last week…

I hope if it finds you it can bring you some introspection and a moment of pause as we head into warmer months.

It’s been far too long since I’ve released any music and I’m so thankful to the team who help bring these things to life.

Proud of the songs I’ve been writing lately, thankful for the thoughts that pass through me, energized af creatively and also in the process of finishing a big non-music related project. Things are overall decent! Enjoy “Navel Tree” and talk to you soon…

I'm scoring my very first ballet!

For the past month I've been working at OUTERSPACE. studio alongside my long time sonic partner Kid Maestro to score a 20+ minute long ballet that will premiere at Ballet Memphis next month. It's been an incredible journey crafting the sonic world this work will live in, and even more fulfilling to get to work with Emilia Sandoval on the vision.

Here's a few small behind the scenes clips, much more coming soon! And thank you as always to UNAPOLOGETIC. for providing the space and resources.

"Under Strange Suns"
Feb. 13-15

A song called “Motions” that I wrote a few weeks ago…inspired by my fear that we’re all becoming numb to so many things that we should be feeling deeply about…and how quickly we as a people go from being outraged about something to just back to normal. I find there are often things that linger on my heart and mind for quite some time, but then there are also times that I myself find that I fall into the trance of everyday life…and this song was born out of the frustration that came from that self-awareness
