I'm really excited to announce I just released my first album "Second Life" last friday, August 19th. This album has been in the works for over 8 years. I've collaborated with a number of amazingly talented musicians, some of whom are apart of this group.

The album's songs were written by me over the past 10 years and are based on various experiences I've had. I never would have guessed it would take so many years for this creation to be completed, but one of the most impactful lessons I've had the pleasure if learning is that you cant rush destiny!

Over time I grew anxious about this dream of mine, but I always stayed prayed up and took inspiration from going back to my source material (jam sessions, early notebooks of songs I'd written, video's from shows, etc.) and remembering the passion of those early days.

You cannot control how much time is in any single day, but you do have control (somewhat) over the things you are able to accomplish in that timeframe. - Jerome JC Collins
The 10 years it took me to fully realize this album have been some of the most rewarding, challenging, and amazing periods of growth in my adult life. Looking back on how long it took, I am grateful I wasn't able to finish sooner as I would not have been in the space to appreciate and put to use all of the knowledge of music business and marketing i've learned along the way.

I challenge you, whomever is viewing this, to continue pursuing that dream you originally set out to do! It does not matter how long it took to accomplish the dream, what matters is that when you get to the finish line, you'll be able to look back and see how far you've come...and it will inspire many others who are striving to achieve that same dream! 

Blessings.
