The last time I wrote and released all-new, fully original music was 2021. And since then, I've been working hard to shore up on some gaps in my knowledge regarding things like production, instrumentation, mixing, and more, and at long last, the first tangible fruit of those efforts is ready to show y'all. Kick it On is the FIRST finished song from the all-new up-and-coming album OBSIDIAN TRINITY, and if you dig this, buckle up for the rest of the record.

PROJECT: THE REAL NEW

BETTER FEAR THE NEW, CUZ IT JUST GOT REAL

Blending jazz, bossa, bembe, electric, rap, and tongue-in-cheek satirical musings on the end of human life. A year-and-a-half in the making, my first outing as a recording musician, and a wholly solo one at that.
