I’ve spent a large portion of my life in the same way some of you have: feeling small, feeling unknown, feeling impossible depth of potential within yourself, yet finding yourself stuck in cycles of struggle (mental, physical, spiritual, intellectual, interpersonal, etc.) and feeling powerless to change the situations you see around you. We are here for a finite time, but the knowledge we gain, share and develop is enteral food that gives us strength and ability to not only outshine the circumstance, but to self-optimize - opening every horizon we have the capacity to dream of. The power (i.e. the confluence of knowledge and ability that is unique to each individual along with the ability to develop and grow the connections that make up that confluence) you can achieve from self-actualization is one that I’m only scratching the surface of myself. Why I make music is in every track. It’s embedded in themes of light and dark, sun and shadow, along with images of food (preparing and sharing). It’s wrapped up in my self-reflection, my mistakes, my triumphs and my many, many questions. I write because it is the way I process this existence, I make music because it’s the way I give the food I’ve gathered through my time on this earth. My reason is simple: I have it within me to give, so I will give it. How this happens will evolve, the same way I will. So dive deeply into what’s here, take what feeds you, leave what doesn’t and know that this is just the beginning.
