It’s been awhile since I wrote something on here…

To recap since January 2015:

• I graduated College (acting major)
• I shared the stage with CHON, The Contortionist, and am about to
  with TesseracT on Oct. 18th at Bottom Lounge!
• Completed a “6-years-in-the-making” album with my band Sioum,
  titled Yet Further
• Met a lovely, wonderful, talented, brilliant girl
• I quit Trader Joe’s so I can focus on writing more music, poetry, painting and designing more album covers, book covers, etc.

“Yet Further is a settle-in-for-the-journey record that will reward repeated listenings—and stubbornly prevent any temptation to background it.”

well-constructed albums I’ve heard in a while.”
