GIFT 2nd record Illuminator is out today.
2 years of working harder than I even knew possible. In July of last year I fully dedicated myself to music and gave myself the time and space to work on music everyday. For 4 months I only worked on music, in my tiny 8x8 foot home studio, which was the first time I have ever given myself that space to do so. If you didn’t see me last summer, this is why. I was starting on the album at 11am and going until sometimes 5am straight, existing only off Cinnamon Toast Crunch and coconut water. The band would poke fun at me, for obsessively saying “I’ve been working on the album” which is a joke we still make today. In reality it was all I was doing and was doing what I love.
I wanted to make the best album I possibly could, and worked tirelessly until I got there. I wanted to make the most honest I ever had, and record how I was feeling at the time, and Illuminator feels like the most honest representation of that time in my life.
I couldn’t do this without my best friends and bandmates
