Here's the original version of Just Right I posted online, and the first version I sent to my producer in the dropbox! As you can hear I hadn't yet written the chorus I landed on for the song, and was using the bridge as the chorus. I completely forgot I wrote this song on guitar and Seth said it mi...

I'm back in Nashville from a week of shooting in Saint Louis! Had such a wonderful time shooting the first two music videos off Bad Ideas with Isaac White and his team. I was so nervous about my ability to perform, and my faith that it would all come together on such a tiny budget, but truly, I coul...

Please comment below with what day of the week that works the best for you a...

Just got back from our all night MV shoot for Crush! I am so tired I want to die lol we shot from 10pm-6am. All my internal dread about not being able to perform was for naught, all the footage looks SO COOL and I'm honestly just so thrilled and grateful. Everyone was asking me leading up to the sho...

To celebrate breaking ground on the shooting of the first two music videos off Bad Ideas tomorrow night, I thought I'd post the behind the scenes for Dream!

alright so this video's sort of a mess (just like me right now lol), but basically I've been told that releasing songs early on Patreon could hurt my chances of finding industry interest because (even though they'd only be release for you all!!) that would mean three of the songs of my record would ...

Circa 2013 when I first started writing songs I would upload them unlisted to Youtube and only share them on tumblr! Here was one of the very first songs I wrote, with the first draft of lyrics (before the record version)! I was afraid the person I'd written it about would know it was about him so I...

My hair is blown back by all the love today! Before the launch today I'd been feeling so afraid to come back to youtube and to do a fresh start on Patreon (what if no one cared?? what if people thought i was foolish? I'd been away so long?). I was really hoping we could hit $4000 on Patreon, as I ha...

Just released the Halloway B-Sides under the $5 tier here on Patreon: all five songs reimagined in a lofi world. I named Halloway after a character in Something Wicked This Way Comes, in the book Halloway has a best friend Nightshade who is the yin to Halloway's Yang. So here it is, the nighttime da...

hi all!
I hope you enjoy this never before heard, Halloway B-Sides. It's the whole EP reimagined as lofi productions, I like to think of it as the songs if they'd been produced as Lullabies.
here's the link to download the b-sides of my EP Halloway , which you get royalty-f...

Here's a picture of my set list from the first tour I ever did where I was playing my own music. This was before my first record came out, so at this point no one had heard any of my songs! Broken Record, Spend Some Time, and Just Right would show up on Maybe Trapped Mostly Troubled, but the rest of...

I'm back in Nashville (and finally back with my one true love: my bed haha). LA was a whirlwind, we got a marketing company on board! (so!! exciting!!!). They'll be the people pitching the songs to spotify to hopefully get some placement on some spotify playlists (which would be a huge deal). I'll a...

I'm in LA this week (and five more days) trying to convince industry people they should invest (energy, money, time) in some capacity in the record. The amount I've learned in the last month about what it takes to gain traction in music has been INSANE. I think it's cause I come from an early Youtub...

unbelievable. I can't believe this was the last day working on the new record. In June of last year I came in to start the process, at the time Seth and I had agreed to about two months.

Right now we're in the process of recording final vocals for most of the project! A typical vocal day is pretty relaxed, it'll be about one half talking/eating/hanging out, one half singing. The way my producer, Seth, and I do vocals is:
first: pick a song! Give it a sing once and see if it feels ...
