After releasing A Wonderful World, I dropped off the face of the earth for a year and a half. Time was unkind to my heart but kind to my pen, and I returned with these four retro-pop love songs.

DreamGAN

i spent some time coding a thing i call DreamGAN, which paints a dreamlike video from the lyrics of a song. after some trial and error, i used it to make a video for marry another man and minted it into 25 NFT's (see below). it was a fun experience, but i've left the project there for now. if you're into this sort of thing, though, let me know. i'm happy to share DreamGAN's code (by request since it's embarrassingly messy lol) and i've also got a couple of the NFT's left over.

I recorded a few covers of my fave songs the old fashioned way--directly to tape. No tricks, no frills, just a piano and 2 mics (except for the first track, which i arranged for a full band, and the bonus track, which is an iphone voice memo).

"One of the most creative, unique, and bold debut statements from an up and coming artist in recent memory." - Cody Conard (bigtakeover.com)

After a turbulent year of illness, romantic trouble, and failed career aspirations, I was beached in Orange County, California. My life was full of beautiful things and I was miserable. Enter A Wonderful

"...[Mixes] the jaunty theatricality of McCartney and Elton John with the alternative edge of more modern rockers...Expertly crafted." - Jon C. Ireson (music-news.com)

"...Really extraordinary. Some songs raw and live and solo, in a lonely pandemic kind of way. Some full and crashing and euphoric. It’s a gorgeous album…truly gorgeous." - Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros (NoHoArtsDistrict.com)
