“IRL,” the 2nd single from my album, 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍, is out for your listening and ass-shaking pleasures. I’m so grateful I wrote this song with two wild musical scientists, @jamie_lidell and @baerdmusic. I had so much fun in the room that day, and I was just craving so badly to get my brain out of the digital world and get some real connection. I felt like I was a social media influencer more than I was a musician at the moment and was feeling sick of it. Social media is a beautiful tool that we get to use to connect with millions of people and promote ourselves, but for me, it can be detrimental to my mental health if I’m not careful.

IRL is about connecting in the real world. Go out and smell the roses, get caught in the rain, and unplug. Make a new friend at the coffee shop or bar. Give somebody your number. Connect…in real life. 

When we took this song into the studio I wanted it to feel like Bill Withers band and the Allman brothers combined forces. I wanted funk, but I also wanted some of that slide. I’m so proud of this one. I hope you dig “IRL” my bb’s 🙏🏽🧡🤘🏽

Unforgivable is the very last song I wrote for my new project, and the very first song to be shown to the world. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it with my lovely friends who I hold so dear and I’m so grateful for.

My new single “Gay Angels” with a video starring my parents and brother is out today on @secretlycanadian! And so is my entire debut album!!!!

Oh, today! I am so thankful for it. To be able to share these songs that I love and to recognize myself in them. I always wanted to feel that way about my work but it hasn’t always been so! And for my friends to recognize me in it, too. For them to say, yes, that’s him, that’s who we know our friend to be! It’s a miracle to feel that. Another miracle is to have seen these songs BECOME because of the artists that created them with me. I am humbled by their talent, their work. And their love. And yet another miracle is to be sharing any of this. To have persisted and believed and to be letting this music go and be. I hope you FEEL these songs the way that I have. Or in ways I could never imagine. This is a celebration. Let’s go wild!
