My new album, Versailles, is out today. 🥀
Two years ago, I started psychedelic therapy to finally acknowledge that I owed myself more than band-aids and trauma denial. Depression, anxiety, and fear were daily companions. This therapy changed everything. ✨
Music ran the show during this treatment, and I quickly realized that I could build a sonic world for others to float on and live in. I spent more time thinking about this record than anything I’ve ever done, long before I hit record.
I wanted the music to feel alive and organic, so I layered field recordings of rain, rivers, birds, conversations, piano, synthesizers, guitar, and drones. Every sound was intentional. I spent a lot of time on the record, but eventually I got stuck. Too many options, too many possibilities, and I became overwhelmed—and a little scared.
Then, in Barcelona, Sophia and I saw a photo by my friend William Anthony that became my north star and the cover for Versailles. 📸💡 I’m forever grateful to him, to Radjaw for the layout and design, to Graig Markel for mixing and mastering, and to Adam and Carl at ECHO FINCH for creating the video companion piece. 🙏
Versailles is about participation, reflection, and immersion. I hope it gives you a moment of calm, space to float, and connection in a world that moves too fast.
Thank you for exploring Versailles with me. 🥀

Introducing Sabotage. 🌎🔥
After months of work (and years of research by the creators), the podcast I had the absolute honor of scoring is now out in the world. And honestly? I can’t think of a more relevant moment for it to exist.
This is not just a podcast—it’s a deeply reported, gripping, personal, and urgent look at the people behind the climate activism movement… and the lengths some will go to stop them.
A few weeks ago, I released the Sabotage soundtrack as a companion piece—a sonic reflection of the tension, beauty, and intensity woven throughout the series. You can find the links to the podcast and the S/T in my bio.
Endless thanks to @ram_gram & @lilyofthealley for trusting me to help bring their vision to life, and for their relentless, thoughtful journalism. And massive love to Hannah & Erick for guiding me through this process, and making it all sound so good.
And thank you @from.luisa_design for the incredible show and soundtrack artwork!
We hope you listen. We hope it stirs something inside all of you. 🖤

Thank you so much to everyone that supported me, and listened to my music this year. From scoring two podcasts (Sabotage & The Story Goes), to Versailles, and all of the collaborations in between, I am so humbled.
I can't wait to see what next year brings.
