Three years ago, I started writing music again after a decade of absence. I set out to make an album that I could be truly proud of and would be a pure expression of something deep within. I wanted to write songs that captured raw emotion and would help me understand myself and the world better.
With a thrilled, humble heart, I can say that I have done just that. I'm stoked to announce the release of my first album, “Wolfheart”, and I can honestly say that the journey of making it has been one of the best experiences of my life.
But I also wanted the music to connect. I wanted to put something out there that could potentially resonate and spark something in others. Something that could be cherished. Something that meant something to someone.
I sincerely hope that will be the case. At least I am extremely proud of it and super excited to share it with you. You can listen here on my website or Spotify HERE
