About The Project

After witnessing the murder of George Floyd by the police, hearing about the brutal murder of Breonna Taylor (Also by the Police) and countless other heinous acts that have been committed against the marginalized black and brown people in this place we call HOME. I was left with so much swirling around in my head and heart. With racism rearing its ugly head yet again, the effects of COVID19 on the world and the unemployment rates skyrocketing, it seems depression, death and despair was lurking in every corner of my mind.

I tried really hard to come up with ways that I could do my part and show up for my myself, my people and for the world and after some deep searching within I made a decision that the best way for me to contribute to what's going on right now in the world is to reflect and document it through my art.

So, I ordered production and recording equipment, set up my home recording studio and worked diligently through lockdown. I learned some new things about production, wrote some of the best songs I’ve ever written, and tapped into an intimacy with my music that I don’t think I ever have before.
