"I hope that people find the same solitude, peace, and resolve that I find when I listen to music."
W: I remember early on in my youth, a few older cousins of mine were playing guitar and starting to get into music. As a little kid, I was mesmerized. The first two tracks I ever remember really having a lasting impact on me were "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden and "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams. What can I say, it was the 90's! The passion was ignited and it led me to discover more. My mother further fed that appetite for music by introducing me to a bunch of bands and genres, from new romantic, to punk, and everything in between.
W: My upcoming release is "The Importance Of Being Idle", coming out on September 12th, 2021, and it is a collaboration with producer Malleus Incus Stapes. This track came about due to us both being fans of the original song, so we decided to embark on covering it. In my opinion, the song had such a great flow about it. Malleus and I decided to create a little bit more of a folksy vibe through the addition of a Rhodes Piano, some slide guitar and by slowing down the tempo. We felt the final result really encapsulated the genius of the original tune, while also adding our own personalities. I guess the inspiration came from the song being so musically pivotal in my life.
