DOG DAYS was written and released as somewhat of a Hail Mary in my musical career. I have been in Nashville since I graduated High School, and a few years ago I found myself fighting through a bad phase of burnout (video below for the song that started it all). I started getting older and was on the backside of my 20's emerging out of the pandemic. I was making music to make money and trying to have a viral moment so I could finally make a full time career of it. In the process of trying to reach all of these goals, I lost sight of what I was doing and who I was doing it for and I could see my whole career struggling. Everything had become so strategic and nothing about the process felt organic and free anymore. I was newly independent and unsure of what to do next, so I decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine - to record a full length record. I went back to where everything started. Me, in a room with some instruments and my computer. Friends stopped by to hang out and help write what we were feeling in those moments, and for weeks it was like I was a kid again. No social media or outside influences - just my own thoughts and connections and music. At first, the message was dark and pointless. But I hope through listening, you’ll witness the evolution that I went through in order to find myself and my love for music again. The joy and meaning came back to me and for the first time in a long time, I made something that I love unconditionally and that I believe really represents me to the fullest extent. I have been making what I consider to be the best music of my career, and it's all a product of this world I have created over these past few years of positivity, acceptance, exploration and good vibes. DOG DAYS is really the first introduction to my music in a lot of ways and I could not be more proud to share this with you all. The full record available everywhere on MAY 20, pre-save at the link below to be one of the first listeners!
