CURRENT PROJECTS

Plans change.  Life goes on.  Lessons are learned.

Life has a wonderful yet sometimes shitty way of showing you what you should be doing with yourself… if you only listen to it.  Fortunately, I’ve gotten better at seeing the signs 😉  Just because something doesn’t work out for the immediate doesn’t mean that you have to abandon it altogether.  Often times, you are given tools to make something better.  You must make sure you take advantage of the opportunities.  I also believe that if you are meant to do something, the opportunities will present themselves multiple times along your path.

I set out, geez….over 5 years ago to complete work on an album of original material that had actually started brewing 20+ years ago.  I just didn’t have all of the songs fully formed yet.  Those songs are the stories of my own life, and what has led me to this point.  I most definitely have a story to tell, and now, I’ve decided to take things a bit further. I already held an Associates degree in Audio Production but found that my technology knowledge was not quite up to par for finishing the album the way I wanted, recording everything at home in my small studio. So, I went back to school… and am currently in the final year of my Bachelor of Science degree in Audio Production and Engineering.  My plan is now to release the album on May 1, 2020, and the decision to hold off has had great benefit.  I overstepped my initial desire to release it in that first year out of eagerness and a lot to say, but I also got held back by some other things in life.  So while the project was slightly delayed, it has only improved in quality and finesse.

So, work continues on “Worth The Wait” – the lead-off single, “No, Father”, came out in 2015 and rose to #6 on Reverbnation’s Pop Chart in Austin.  A previously written tune, “It’s Alright”, was revised, remixed and mastered, and followed at the end of 2015, and “Grace” came out in 2017, also rising to #6 on that same chart, and all are on regular rotation on Jango Radio.  Additionally, the instrumental tracks to “Little Me” and “Nightwind” have kept my profile in the top 20 and even top 10 consistently for the last two years now, riding well on the successes of “No, Father” and “It’s Alright”, both of which continue to do well.  The school experience has brought immeasurable ability to write in new ways and technical prowess which is still growing by the day.

We’re heading hard & strong on this!  Vocals record between September & December.  And, as many artists do, we have a crowd-sourcing page up for the costs on the final items to be taken care of.   I hope you’ll go and claim one of the perks that range from t-shirts, deluxe copies of the CD and a book that is being written along with it.

Other creative outlets include photography, animals, and books.

A book is in the formation of a spiritual nature for publication both as a companion “journeybook” to the album or a stand-alone collection of positive reaffirmation and identity solidifying statements.

Writing a horror novel, “Witchwood”, which expands a 30+ year old short story written in high school for a creative writing project.
