It's been a long time coming! Here's my debut album Parallel Play. Listeners have described it as "psychedelic soul-gaze" and "dream pop". I say it's groovy music.

Made almost entirely DIY and self published, this body of work represents the steep learning curve involved in transitioning from a producer into a self made indie artist. It was a journey and I hope it takes you on a journey as well.

Deja Vu & Cringe But Free were mastered by @noahmintzmastering
Deja Vu features the charismatic vocals of @ryanborges
The rest was written, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by yours truly.

The cover art was the brain child of @dopbenji with the assistance of @lindsaymurrlighting , @royzhengfilm and @its_ashishprasad . All I did was show up with a guitar and orange pants.
The sleeve cover (slide 2) was my own attempt at using photoshop.
The graphic design of the reverse cover/ track list was done by @iamtejas and features his very neat handwriting.

@dayzinthe.east gave me the guidance needed to make all of this come together and has had my back since day 1.
Special thanks goes to @wrayfox who has been unbelievably supportive throughout all of this.

My new psychological horror short "Household" is online now! 👻🍝 Thanks to the incredible cast and crew that helped me bring this to life with their talent and dedication. We shot this in 2 days with one location, a crew of 10, and many bowls of spaghetti. Watch on YouTube at the link in my bio!

Sending good vibes to everyone this Xmas and holiday season, with thanks for all the good word on our @lemoncakefilms present to you, the @carinaa.b Locked In video.

If the message of this video had to come down to anything, aside from horrifically punishing a mannequin can take up to three minutes, it’d be good to each other. Including yourself. But not mannequins. Looking forward to the things ahead this year, and hope to never stray from that message in all of them.
