about this record

my first endeavor...lots of acoustic and piano to set the soundscape up. a handful of tracks here were written and college, and one from even before then.
favorites: "fly on", "nameless", "suitcase"

corvidae

about this record

i decided to go with a grungy tone for this album. while there is an instrumental on here, i've grown into lyric writing more, so there's more to say.
favorites: "spoken", "wait", "darling"

cardinal

about this single

the A side, "cardinal", is a very personal tune i wrote after my mother's death. the B side is a soprano sax instrumental that is meditative and serene.

windburn

about this record

i titled this album "windburn" because of the whirlwind of energy that came out of the songwriting process. the style goes back to my roots with more of a pop-rock flavor.
favorites: "melissa", "transient", "heart of your divine"
