Somehow I never outgrew the 80s.
My second collaboration with A Days Wait, “Empty Promises” is a bittersweet song about home, leaving, and the promises we make along the way.
It's available for download on Bandcamp along with our previous collaboration “New Souls,” plus instrumentals for both.

When I last wrote about Spotify Showcase, I had effectively sworn it off in favor of Meta ads.
I couldn’t target warm audiences, Spotify blew through my budget in the blink of an eye, and the results were mediocre.
Thankfully that’s no longer the case!

I grew up with anxiety, insomnia, and panic attacks, but years of meditation taught me how to make peace with my mind. This album is an instruction manual set to music, a collection of strategies for helping stay grounded and navigate troubled thoughts.
