2025 Year End Message:

Grateful for the Songs in the Noise

These are strange and heavy times. The world feels loud, uncertain, and often unkind. 

It would be easy to retreat, to shut down, to let the weight of it all settle somewhere deep and hard to move. But instead, I’ve found myself doing the one thing that has always brought me back to myself: making music.

Writing songs has been a lifeline. Not because it fixes anything, but because it gives shape to feelings that don’t always have words. A melody can hold what conversation can’t. A lyric can say the quiet truths without needing explanation. When life feels scattered, music gives me somewhere to put it all.

Recording a new record has been its own kind of healing. There’s something deeply grounding about committing songs to the recording process, about saying this mattered enough to finish. The process demands presence. It asks for patience, honesty, and trust. In return, it offers clarity and a sense of forward motion, even when the rest of the world feels stalled or spinning.

I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, to collaborate, to learn, to stretch myself creatively, and to bring my music to the next level. Each step forward feels like a quiet affirmation: keep going. Not loud or flashy, but in a steady, meaningful one.

Music has cared for my heart, my mind, my body, and my soul in ways I didn’t fully understand until now. It’s given me routine when days felt shapeless, purpose when motivation wavered, and connection when isolation felt close at hand. It has reminded me who I am when I risked forgetting.

I don’t take any of this for granted. To be able to create, to record, and to share music in times like these is a privilege. It’s an anchor. It’s hope. And it’s a reminder that even in chaos, we can still make something beautiful, honest, and true.

For that, I am profoundly grateful.

For all of you who support my art and my dream … I can’t thank you enough for helping get through this year. I look forward to connecting with you through music in 2026. Stay tuned for my new record & music video due out Q2 2026.

With love …
