For a long time, I’ve been calling my departure from a life of forced labor “leaving the corporate world.” But I think that’s been a misshaping of the truth. What I’ve really been doing is pulling away from the part of me that longed for external approval and that felt...

My next album project is rooted in my experience growing up in Vermont. There's so much to talk about, that it's too early to share very many details beyond this right now. I like being open about process, ideas, and progress, so I'd like to share a little bit of...

I’ve been ruminating all day, and I think I’m just going to relegate today to a general checking in. How are all of you? It’s Tuesday, April 1st at about 7 p.m. It’s been over two years since I could handle even a small set of responsibilities. It feels good...

The local music scene is thriving, and I’m excited to step into it. My album has organically...

Living with mental illness feels like standing at the edge of a black hole, caught between worlds. The pull of chaos and confusion is relentless, making it hard to reach out, to be heard, or to understand. But there’s a secret in the storm: observation. In those rare moments of...

Now that my album is out and I’ve had some time to find objectivity on the past year, I’ve slowed down, recharged, and just started to play. It’s been a much-needed pause to reflect on my journey so far while — almost inadvertently but with real joy — letting ideas...
