I've been away recording my debut EP for the past 4 months. However, It's been a long time coming, longer than simply these past few months. Some of these songs are weeks old, others up to 6 years old. But, they combine to make an EP that best represents where I am in my life at this moment: Joyful, anxious, nostalgic and hopeful. The duality of these emotions is prevalent from song to song in the running order of the EP. And, as a result, this has become the theme that ties together these mercurial feelings.
Primarily, I've spent the past few months away from home, sleeping in a caravan owned by other family members. However, the space that comes from changing environments and from being away from the comfort of home has been formative. For once, If I wanted things to progress forward, I would have to take the initiative. this matured me emotionally and musically. Although, there were many sleepless nights full of self-doubt, over-thinking and exhaustion, I look back on this time in my life so positively. Surprisingly to me, I even feel a slight sadness in the ending of it. But, although I feel that I'm ending a chapter in my life, I'm equally as excited to show you all what comes next and what I'm musically capable of. Right now, the EP lives in a realm of endless possibilities and opportunity. It truly can, at this time, do anything. This feels increasingly positive to me.
At this time, the EP is mostly finished. It's comprised of 5 songs, each of which showcases a different style and my versatility as a songwriter and, like it's theme, a constant state of change. It's aware, focused and knows what it is. So, regardless of what is to come and what people may or may not think about it, this EP will forever mark a moment in time for me. One that refuses to ever be forgotten, and I'm happy that's how I chose to spend these past months...
This has been a time in my life i'll happily look back on for years to come, and I cannot wait for you all to hear it...
