My wonderful mother passed away on June 2nd, 2021. A little less than 2 months shy of her 60th birthday. I created this song to honor her memory. I thought it would only be fitting to release it on the very last day of 2021.  

The summer following her death, it was sunny and extremely hot. There was little to no rain. I usually enjoy the summertime but grieving with intense sadness at the same time inspired the "Melancholy Sunshine" vibe and song title.  

This song came together over the course of six months. The beat was started in June, the lyrics came weeks later, and the song was recorded/arranged/edited/mixed across the months that followed. The song was incredibly intense and difficult to create. A whole lot of tears shed during the various stages during the creation of it.  

My mom was my biggest fan when it came to my music. She was always in the front row at every show dancing and shouting every lyric. My mom would always say "you're going to buy me a Versace dress and bring me to the Grammys" and I made her a promise that I would do so.  Although she can't be at the Grammys with me physically, I want to honor that promise and do whatever I can to get us there. This song is the start of me creating and releasing the best music I possibly can to get to the Grammys.  

If you liked this song please purchase it for whatever price you'd like and share it to your social media. I know it would have meant the world to my mom and I appreciate it so much. Thank you all so much for the love and support.
