Dear Web User,

I’ve always thought the best ideas are stolen (I still think that). A guy I know once had to write a biography for his music, so he wrote a letter. We all get told to make things that will help sell what we’re doing and what we’re singing – I like to think the songs do that best. Music began for me as an open letter, of sorts. I was less writing songs, as I was speaking songs. I recorded things quickly, and from some part of my gut that felt untouched. It was fast, it was me, and me alone. Fast forward two years after releasing “Trust” and a handful of EP’s to fill in the gaps – I found myself in the desert with a guy who producer who calls himself BOOTS. I’d spent the summer writing songs that I would mostly throw away, only to find myself in that moment – in the desert, in a recording studio, at the center of what felt like a very bright light. I was on mushrooms, this might explain the light. After 11 days of writing and recording “Vicious Times” was an album. Since then, lucky enough on the stars Matt Barrick, who plays on the album and wrote every line of percussion on the thing was crazy enough to form a band with me.

I could go into beautiful literary detail about the album and the songs, but as I know nobody likes to read in 2015 – I’m going to make a listical. A buzzfeedical. Since I can’t add images to this bio, I’m going to add links. See below for a description of my album.
