“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 🙏🏽🧡🤘🏽

Wow it feels like my birthday because Wandering Star, my child, my album, is out today!!! She’s out in the world now thanks to @fire_records and if any of you in Brooklyn wanna celebrate I’ll be at captain dans tonight 💘💘💘

This took blood sweat and tears, and looking back, this was an amazing recording process, and an amazing time in my life. This marks a chapter of LA that is currently ending, and a new beginning in NYC. Im so grateful for everyone who’s been on this journey with me, and to the new friends I’ve made who are hopping on board.

Thank you to @samburtonnn who imparted his creative directing and producing. The album wouldn’t be what it is without him, and the amount of time and love he put into it is huge- before, during, and after the sessions. 🦋🦋🦋

Thank you @catfishbluelagoon @_soft_rock_cafe_ @walt_lit_man for being the best band in town and giving this album the heart and soul it needed.

Thanks @lovemag_net for the sounds and the studio, these songs were beautifully captured. Thanks to @prefixprefixmusic for being on the sound team as well as @omarakrouche for mixing and @timothy_stollenwerk for mastering

Thanks to my visual girlies for bringing the singles to motion @gabriellakashi @magnoliaellenburg on film and video

Thanks @psych.ward for being my bestie and capturing all the photos of the album

Thanks @garnieart for designing the perfect cover

thanks to @higherprotocol for production, and to @alex.amen for jumping on some songs

Anyways, it’s weird to summarize all this in an Instagram post… but what can you do 😅

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!
