It's finally here. My first album is out in the world.

There are so many people I want to thank and who made this record possible. To my band and some of my best friends, @mistermae__ and @moderate_chops holding down the rhythm section, @reidernick for helping me fill out the horn section, and @_buddybudman_ for tying everything together with the percussion.

To @tedlington for taking the songs I brought in and turning them into fucking bangers, @matthewkelleryes for sprinkling the special sauce onto everything, and to @dannykalb for checking my work and tightening all the loose screws.

To @mikepintomusic and @joeyharkum for blessing me with incredible verses and giving me something to aspire to, to @stefan_heuer_music for trading demos and features forever, and to @brandonsugly for inspiring me to always keep working and always get better.

To my very first band, who helped me write Tough times ahead (Matt, @johnathanford4 , @natezynski @smead420 @hansusung ) and to every single musician that has shared the stage with me during my music career: you have all had a hand in this album. It truly is the culmination of my life experiences up to this point.

And finally, to my incredible wife @amandabonita87 more than half of these songs are about her, and without her this album simply would not be possible. Thank you for pushing me every single day to keep striving for better.

This has been a long time coming, and I can't believe it's finally here. Go listen to Ready or Not guys. It rules, and there's cool features from a lot of my friends. Hopefully these songs come to mean something to you.
