I’ve officially been clean and sober for 3 years as of April 7th. The date came and went without me even noticing. Been really introspective lately when it comes to my life and my music and other forms of art I want to continue to pursue. I feel like I’m getting to a point of understanding with myself that has taken a long time to get to in many ways, and being clean and level-minded has played a big role in allowing myself to be able to get there. That’s not to say I look down on or judge anyone using or drinking or anything like that. I don’t see it that way. I just know myself and how much not being sober would have hindered my thoughts and life and I’m grateful I’ve allowed myself to grow. Much love. On to more years and great thoughts and moments.

Hey. Just posting this to let you know that the official self titled compilation mixtape of the songs I’ve been dropping the last few months is now officially out on all platforms.
I feel like I’ve come a long way when I look at the past compared to now, but thinking about that leads me to the fear of what my perception of myself will be in the future. Will I still look back and think I’ve come a long way? Will it be positive or negative? Coming up on 25 years old and a fully developed brain, I’d like to think that all of the uninformed negative decisions are behind me, and from now on it’s only positive progress. Wishful thinking, I know, but maybe it’s good to have that mindset. With age comes wisdom, right? I guess I’ll have to find out.
These songs mean a lot to me. With them I’ve put together a live set I’m actually proud of and feel confident in. In the time of creating these songs I’ve learned to be a better performer and now have 2 shows under my belt with live instrumentation and more to come. Everything is self produced by me with some help with guitar tracking by @bvf.m on “So” and guitar & bass tracking by @endcreed on “Heartbroken” and “Down Here”. There is also mixing/mastering by @crazyrussianphysicist on “Die Alone”. The cover is from a photo taken by @thatotherguysutton . I hope you like the tape. I’ll be back with more music in due time. Come to the shows.
