TEMPT FATE. THE ALBUM. OUT NOW.
This album has single handedly been the biggest project I have ever worked on in my life. Starting in September 2024, when I first moved to New York, I have spent an insane amount of time writing, rewriting and rewriting again. This album tells a story, which is laid out across four phases. Within this post, you can find a full description of the journey that the protagonist takes; from his unhealthy obsession to his death and rebirth.
This body of work could not have been completed without an incredible network of artists, and every single person who helped me out deserves an insane amount of kudos.

Finally, I’d like to thank the incredible
@rob.mathes who mentored me through the entire process of creating this album - I think perhaps the only person who was as passionate and as invested in the message, the story and the music. The project wouldn’t be what it is without your touch of magic on every song. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy.
Ary
