about

On August 31st 2020 my dad passed away of Glioblastoma. Definitely a legend of a person, he is really missed and the family is definitely very proud of him. At the end of 2020 I started writing and recording some music as a dedication. Slow in the making as I've been busy with other music, but went hard into it again last year and this year. It expanded into collaborations with some special guests who contributed with vocal performances, and another who gave stories to aid one of the tunes. Working with other people was one of the best parts, they really added something special to the recordings. Originally it was meant to be around six tunes but I cut it down to just three.
