Social media can be a chaotic and overwhelming space, but it also has the power to connect us with incredible artists we might not have discovered otherwise.

Beyond his own music, he’s also made waves in film, executive producing the soundtrack for Catherine Called Birdy and composing for Sharp Stick. Excited to dive into his journey and creative process!
