about

Though this aching journey, through every tear, through every joke told and every laugh and snicker shared. This project is the most open I've ever been to an audience.

Throughout the year of 2015 in Detroit, I went through the deepest depression that I could ever comprehend. I wouldn't eat, sleep, and most importantly and most frightening, I wouldn't make music. I didn't turn to anyone for help or guidance during this process, because nobody wants to be that person that talks about their problems everyday. Day in and day out. I used to wake up and stare directly at the sky. (see stargazer EP) Wondering what would the cosmos have to offer if I were to travel into space? Who would notice? Who would wonder why I would want to go? Who would notice I was gone? I want to be the person, if no one has already, your life is important no more matter what your dreams are or your views are towards something. You are important, and deserve to be listened to. For artists and non-artists alike.

And with this project. This is me taking the depression of 2015 and the new found knowledge of all of the interactions I've had in the year of 2016, brought into a story that I could only tell you in the best way I could. This is, without any other way of explaining it. Me translating the saddest moments of my life into the beauty of everything I went through to make me the person I am today. The change is drastic. Scary and down right incredible if you ask me. But the more it changes, the more you evolve into the powerful person you were born to become.

Thank you to everyone that has helped contribute to this project. Thank you to the producers. My family, brothers, and distant family alike. With that, I am going to be powerful and you are all the same as me.
