A.I. Wish You A Messy Christmas Album!
This album exists for one simple reason: I love Christmas—and I love Christmas music. I’m not a musician, but I am an artist, a writer, a New Yorker, and someone who grew up surrounded by holiday songs of every kind. My mom loved Christmas music fiercely. She played everything—from crooners to pop to novelty songs—and through her, I learned that Christmas didn’t have just one sound. She also taught me how to decorate the tree “the right way,” which still makes me laugh now that I’ve grown into that role myself.
Another piece of this album comes from falling in love. When I started dating my Mrs. Claus, my father-in-law shared a Christmas album their family recorded together years earlier. Hearing her sing Christmas songs—raw, real, imperfect—filled my heart in a way I’ll never forget. Sixteen years later, I still cherish that album and make her listen to it, even though she insists she doesn’t like how she sounded. I love it because it’s honest, it’s family, and it’s Christmas.
This album is my version of that feeling. I wrote the songs, created the ideas, curated the genres, and shaped the visuals. AI didn’t replace creativity—it collaborated with it, helping me turn words and memories into music. These tracks are a love letter to Christmas as it actually exists in New York City: the slush, the noise, the crowds, the radiator heat, the gift stress, the late shifts, the traditions we merge, and the ones we complain about while secretly loving them. Each song is a moment in the season, moving from decorating the tree to surviving December, across a mix of styles that mirrors the chaos and joy of a real Christmas playlist. This album isn’t perfect—and it was never meant to be. It was made for fun, for honesty, and for the love of Christmas, family, and the traditions we carry forward together.
