I hope you guys are having a good memorial day weekend, This week's episode is going to be slightly longer then the previous episodes of my podcast as of recently because this weekend is a long weekend and I'm sure with the extra day off many of you have this weekend, you'll be able to listen to a longer episode of my podcast this weekend. but anyways, this week we are going to dive into the history behind last week's artist, this includes their own personal history and why he wrote the kind of songs he wrote, the behind the scenes details on the recording sessions for his hits, plus who were some of the people he was involved with early on his career that later went on to do big & really cool things and who were the the people he was involved later on his career that you might recognize. here's the link to last week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

Also, BIG Announcement this week. My EP "Turquoise Apricot" is out now on all of the streaming platforms. YES. on this EP are 3 songs that have already been released plus 4 new songs that nobody has heard yet because they just got released on Friday. These songs are a labour of love for me and I think they best represent who I am as not only a musician but also a songwriter & what I like to write about as a lyricist & the genres of music that influenced me as a musician. I hope you enjoy these songs & you can find the Apple Music & Spotify links to these songs right here, but I would also LOVE to know what do you think of these songs, so please email me whenever you get the chance to hear them & tell me your thoughts on them. you can do that at my email (which is [email protected]):
