I wrote and recorded this album while staying home during the COVID-19 outbreak. It was the most free time I've had in quite a while to work on new music and I felt compelled to take advantage of it. This music is also being uploaded during the riots and protests that are happening in the wake of George Floyd's death, which is also feeding into the fear that many people seem to have these days. While many people are afraid right now, and their fears are justified entirely, it's important to remember that there are still a lot of good things out there to live for. Music is one of them.
