For REAL.

Hope everyone is doing their best, life is strange right now, more the current ish around us but you know.

Anyway, I have a new album dropping July 25th, 2025! Yeeeeee. The title is Midlife Vices Crisis and the cover artwork is by my dear friend Shane Walsh, please peep his work anywhere you can, it's amazing.

All the beats are by this random girl I met through the internet from Russia. She goes by Alteg. Don't really know her but I've used her stuff before and I love all of her work.

Once again another project brought to life by my longtime buddy and engineer, Matthew Sawicki! HE'S THE BEES KNEES!

I wrote, recorded and did all the cuts for the album. My homie Nicholas Raymond did the hook on Stone Cold Getaway and I can't begin to explain how happy I am to finally have a track with him. We go way back and I am very grateful for having this person in my life, stay tuned for more from us.

MORE COMING SOON!

 Available on all Streaming Services!

Featuring Nicholas Raymond from Traveling Suitcase!

This is the second single from the new untitled album coming soon!

The new two song EP with beats by the ever so talented Moodie Black is Now Available on all Major Streaming Services! Spread the filth and share! Thank you!

I have a couple songs coming out soon and wanted to touch on some serious business, the names of the songs. 

Anyway, I was going to be all edgy and name them Song 1 of 2 and Song 2 of 2 and just call it "Two Songs in a Row," then I remembered we had a random vote on here a couple years ago with song names my daughter came up with and never shared the results 😂

The results:

Cat Portal - 22

Syrup Face - 16

Buddha Gold - 12

Apple Poop - 11

Butterfly Bush - 8

Fairy News, Cup Hook, Pony Song - 5 ea.

Unless some entity wants to release it for me, you can expect some variation of these names on this two song EP by Halloween 2022. Beats by Moodie Black and Mixed/Mastered by Matthew Sawicki.
