Tonight, I will perform on Saturday Night Live with Halsey. This pinnacle performance will mark the end of my tenure with this incredible project.
Three years ago, I started with a small artist named Halsey. Since then, I have supported the project through its rise, designing all the sounds for the live synth, bass, and keyboard parts, and performing them at every show for the past 3 years. I have been with Halsey from our our first show to 80 people in Los Angeles, to now having played six of the seven continents, and every major arena in the USA. It was my father’s dream to play Madison Square Garden. We sold it out as a headliner, and played it 3 times since then.
Tonight after SNL, I am taking my leave. I have dedicated my time, energy, and heart to the rise of this project, and have seen the effects on a scale more massive than I could have predicted. At this point, I have done all I can for the project, and my other projects are quickly finding their own inclines and becoming more demanding of my focus.
I have started a new web series (
@tinyroomlive ) that shines a spotlight on the chemistry between the most talented of this generation’s pop artists and the most brilliant of this generation’s jazz artists. Our first video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/J_hVAkfAAUI
Spirit Fingers (formerly known as Polyrhythmic) is releasing our first album on March 16 of this year. We have the support of Shanachie Records, and have prepared this ship to start its maiden voyage during 2018.
My studio in Los Angeles is fully built out into a creative powerhouse for all my work in both the jazz and the pop worlds (). The people working with Halsey are some of the most entrepreneurial, brilliant minds I have had the opportunity to call my colleagues. I will miss them dearly as I move on, and I am excited to involve them in my future endeavors. I have been behind the scenes since day one with Ashley Frangipane, and can tell you that she deserves every ounce of success she has received.
Thank you to the Halsey camp, my friends and family who have supported me on this wild journey, staying engaged with my world as it grows into…well, we will all see.
