Oct 2021

I came into my own artistically on my last full length tape. I was genuinely eager to answer the question “what next?” Truthfully it’s been noisy in my head sometimes, and my creative output has on occasion lacked the coherence and laser-like focus my vision requires. 

Amidst the uncertainty that was 2020 I went back to my essence. I began daily sessions on my dining table with a basic recording set-up and a consistent clarity enabled by seclusion. My reflections drowned out the noise and sounds of the panic that gripped the world. I fell in love with my process, and the music I wrote during this period became the foundations for “Madina to the universe.” 

Madina is my “village” within my city. A formative place for me as a child. Beyond memories it is where my Mom and Grandma still live, alongside colorful people and places that have shaped the window through which I see the world.

This album is a reflection of life’s journey as well as a statement of ambition. The journey to its release has been fraught with last minute challenges. Fortunately it was better for it. 

I hope this body of work allows you to see yourself and your universe in ways you haven’t previously, as it has done for me. 

Love is love,
