Behind the Beats
These are the stories behind my music, including the inspiration, tools, techniques, and random thoughts that play a part in my process.
You can hear my latest music on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and all the other platforms, but this is the only place that you can find the “how” and “why.”
Thanks for your support and interest, and I hope you dig these tales!
