Last year affected us all and brought things to a pause in so many ways. I have always found that music allows us to express our feelings, and helps define where we are in our life journey. Most importantly, music can allow us to experience each moment of life from a new perspective.
As the world shut down, I found myself diving deeper into the music, and exploring music in ways and to the depths of my creativity that I had not taken before. Moments like this remind me of my life’s dedication of delivering to you the highest quality music I can create, that has the power to make a positive change in people’s lives.

The first gift of music is in the moment it happens. It is in that moment when the "record" button is pressed that I feel so grateful to create, and be present in the moment to collaborate in a sense, with the music that is coming my way. The second gift, and the most important to me, is when I get to share these new songs with you. On this album, I explored using much more analog gear than ever before. Music is not only heard by our ears and through bone conduction, but the vibrations are felt throughout our bodies. Extensive use of analog gear during the entire album process, allowed me to capture more of these frequencies, and the end result was something that felt very satisfactory to me in playback.

It is my hope that you can feel the tone, colors pulsing and the vibrations flowing in this album. The songs were all mixed through and mastered with analog in the signal chain, all with the hope that the warmer analog tone of the music would encourage you to feel and experience more from the music, and tune into the music in a deeper way.

"Halcyon" is often used to describe a time that was golden and prosperous. I choose to focus on the things that mean the most to me this past year: my daughter, family, music, and connecting with you all on social media via live streams. By doing so, I realized all the little things to be grateful for that otherwise might be overlooked - but now there was plenty of time and less distractions to focus on them. Perhaps one day I will look back on the past year and think of these times as "halcyon" moments in my life.

This is the largest album I have ever released. Studio albums are usually less than this size, even if there were many songs recorded for it. I didn't want to pick or choose any of them - instead, I wanted to make them all available for you. These tracks are all moments of my life this past year captured in melodies, rhythms, and tone. I spent many long sleepless nights chasing endless fine-tuning and the smallest of details and now, I finally get to share them ALL with you.

I hope wherever you are, the music finds you well, and helps you connect with the present, and with what matters most in your life.

Thank you all so much, for the encouragement and support you have given me and my music over the years. Your support means the world to me, and it is my great privilege to share this new music with you, in the hopes that we create new moments and memories to share together with this music.🙏🏻☀️
