about

I just moved back to Chicago after living in Minneapolis for my first 2 years out of college. Upon arriving in Chicago, I ventured to my parents' echoey basement to record some songs from the last two years. These songs deal directly with my struggles and triumphs as I transitioned from youth to adulthood - constantly asking myself how to make the most of life. Together, these songs create a narrative with symbolic and literal elements reappearing throughout. They sound a lot like a diary from my time in Minneapolis. Enjoy!

If you have any questions, just text me - (847) 791-7478
