MUSIC

"I wanted to express my frustration at running from my feelings for so long. It felt like the world was crumbling at the same time as I was pretending everything was fine, but I really wasn't, and I finally expressed it. It feels like one long exhale for me."

“I think songwriting has the potential to go deeper. White men like me who don’t have much to gripe about almost have it as our duty to engage in the realness of life in a deeper way than sexual attraction. This project is my attempt to articulate that feeling; the notion that no songwriter stands alone on a cliff and looks out and is sad about some woman on some cloud somewhere. There’s a hidden history there of women supporting men in their art. The emotional support that women provided these artists is often ignored. In my own work I wanna be so ignorant of what my own ego is saying that we can objectify the work that Nada and I did together and give her equal appreciation. This wouldn’t be happening if it wasn’t for her. I want that to be said more often by men who make music.”
