😷 (I know most wont read this but) Everyone please wear a mask in public places. We wear them because we have no idea who can be infected and who’s asymptomatic. I know at least 16 people who’ve tested positive. AND I haven’t told anyone yet but I’ve tested positive for SARS-COV-2 antibodies, meaning I had the virus at some point and most likely spread it because I was still working and around friends and family. I know exactly when it was (that’s a whole other story) I donated blood hopefully the plasma can help but many tests are giving false results. I remain optimistic still though. Also WASH.YOUR.HANDS!! I love you all, I don’t care about political beliefs, we’re friends and I don’t want to see anymore people pass away from this virus that can be prevented. Be safe. Be smart. Take whatever precautions you deem necessary. And I just want to thank all Health care and essential workers from the bottom of my heart! Our state dropped the ball and you guys picked it right back up. So wear a mask for the medical workers, essential workers, your family, your friends, YOURSELF etc. the mask is to lessen exposure and reminds you not to touch your face. And again I sincerely love you all!!! 🖤🖤 P.S- I’ve had the flu 3 times and pneumonia twice in my life. What I caught a few months back legit almost killed me. So it’s best not to play with fire! AGAIN everyone be safe and do what you believe is right 🖤😷🖤 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdexblBGhg/?igshid=1imze2uel568l

I call this the Kurt Cobain starter kit if Nirvana made it to 1999 • • “Do your own thing. Others own their own thing.

Slept for the first time in 3 days last night. • • I feel like the sound of a garbage truck, dropped off the Empire State Building. • • Practice makes you realize you need more practice. • • Never met a wise man, If so it's a woman.

I’m immensely proud to announce the release of the “Language is Dead” ( @lid_film ) soundtrack which is NOW streaming on ALL platforms!! It was such a honor to compose, arrange, and perform the entire soundtrack! Scoring a film was always a huge aspiration of mine and I can’t thank director @jermanigault enough for just giving me the opportunity!
