Time Before - Album

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.

— Wallace Stevens

Your contribution will help fund my Debut Album. Costs will go to studio booking, mixing and mastering, musician pay for an incredible host of guest artists, and producing the album. Your contribution means the world to me - It represents an opportunity to tell my true story, it brings me closer to creating something in the world that speaks to my truth, and I hope to the true stories of others. This is the music that has been waiting, dormant, in my heart. It has been growing under the ground for a long time. Water it, and help it find the sun!
