knowing when to say “enough” has never come easy for me, but something’s different now.
i’ve tried to make work that shows pain and beauty, but I don’t know if i can do it this way anymore.
i’m unsure of what happens next - but it feels like i’m reaching a breaking point.
it’s time to make a change.

in june 2020 i began recording an album that would be the most ambitious thing i’d ever done. now, almost 3 years later, i’m finally be able to share it with you all.
