I returned to the So Rude podcast (hear my first guest spot here) to talk with Paige about the upcoming album Twentywanting, the process behind it and how artists have adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Listen to our convo on Spotify.
I was a guest on the most recent episode of the health/career/lifestyle podcast So Rude, hosted by Paige Ruderman. If you follow me on the socials, you may recognize the name as the podcast for which I produced the theme music. On "How to Start Your Music Career", Paige and I discuss how we collaborated [...]

Despite the change in venue, the ceremony had plenty of the moments you come to expect from an event branded as Music's Biggest Night. I watched for the performances and avoided trying to predict the winners. [...]
I hope you had a chance to enjoy Thanksgiving weekend to start the holiday season. If you worked in retail, I hope you didn't see enough during the weekend to completely lose all faith in humanity. Also I have a new song for the #Reconnecting series. The song for this month started with conversations with [...]
#Reconnecting, round 2. I'm back this month with a new song and a some words about it. I knew I wanted to release this month's drop on Halloween.
