Thinking back, I was very naïve.

I always just thought things were gonna ‘work out’. ERRRRRR …doesn’t work that way. Well, what if it actually-does work that way and I just had a few more lessons to learn and a few more songs to write from the fall out?

During the summer, I took some time away from the piano. Some time away from writing lyrics and poetry, stories. I decided to just sit with what I have. Aaand what I have is… quite a large body of work that is not recorded. Almost ZERO evidence – so essentially if I died tomorrow and or get taken away in an alien invasion (God forbid), the songs would evaporate with me. Just distant memories for the people who’ve heard them. Even if they’re not much good (they are good – I swear).

Late July I made the call… “I’m doing this” and I did the scariest thing.

I began to make the record.

Yes, over the years I have had quite a few false starts. Hence why I have delayed the real-time story and we’re now in the future. (I even completed a Masters in Climate Change to avoid putting my voice on a record). My family, they were skeptical at first. “Oh, but how many times have you done a few hours in the recording studio and then you dropped the ball”. But this time, this time it is different. I went into it with a fresh mind set – No more “Oh I am too old” or “I will wait until I am skinny” or “I’ll wait until I get my hair done” or the dreaded…

“Sure nobody will even listen to it” I am breaking my own toxic cycle - this is for me, my family and my friends. People who are my real support and reading this.

Imposter Syndrome is real and I’ve got it. I’m not an imposter and I’m not a traitor (to myself).

We’re doing this.

I am working very hard in the studio with Rohan and Al from Beardfire to get the best sound and bring this into reality and out of my head. You guys will be first to know about my single release date, which will be very soon so keep an eye out on your emails for the update. Much Love,

Your friend,
