Over the past year, what developed into this project began writing from the ashes of experiences surviving severe child abuse. The lyrics come from a hollowed out place that only music can truly touch. In the process of producing them, it's a fluent attempt to express a wounded healer spirit in a far more authentic manner. The first three singles of the upcoming album, "Plum Skin," are being released as a solo demo, called "Apocalyptic Tides."

The raw, unrefined atmosphere of the tracks offer the listener a symbolic taste into the actuality of accepting a traumatic upbringing, as well as the vulnerability it takes to speak out shamelessly. It's taken blood, sweat, sorrow, tears, & triumph thus far to cultivate this project, even in its beginning stages. Through the trials of recovery, the ability to allow these songs to seep out into the world has proven to be a strong asset in healing. Every person who has come out to a show or supported this endeavor have harbored a hand in such, & I thank you wholeheartedly.

The hopeful intention behind this release is to reflect what it's like to go through the pain of domestic violence, human trafficking, & sexual abuse in order to create more awareness in our society. The more we talk about it, & the more honest we can be - the less it happens. This is the reconditioning process we must go through as a culture, & the entertainment industry is one of the most responsible to front the revolution of abolishing rape. If you or someone you know is a struggling survivor of abuse, please recruit help by calling 1−800−799−7233.
