about

It’s nothing new. Music about losing love. We have heard artists bare their souls for centuries about the pain of heartbreak. But to be honest, I never really understood it.
I thought it was a joke.

Then came the day that I fell in love for the first time. It was real and it was beautiful.
And -- like a fool -- I lost it.

Now I understood what all those singers were getting at when they swooned lyrics like, “...I can’t stop thinking about you...” over a melancholy sounding piano. They really meant it; they truly felt that pain.

My debut album, Burning Roses, encompasses the experiences and emotions of still feeling the flames of love burn in your heart for someone who used to love you, but has moved on. The “what ifs” and “I could haves” tease your thoughts and make you wish for a time machine. The leaden weight of anger, frustration, and numbing depression cling to your body. Memories of the good times replay in your mind like a syndicated TV sitcom.

Then comes a moment of truth: The only way to let go is to let the flames burn out. You are left with only the ashes, but the ashes you now carry are lighter. You can now lift the awful weight of sadness and take the steps towards closure.

I won’t gush about how this record has the most progressive production, the freshest sound, or the most incredible musicianship. That’s not up to me to judge.

All I can say about this album is that it’s just me
My heart, a love story and 2+ years worth work of, put into sound.
