Words can not express how elated I am to announce the release of the @google Google #MixLab! MixLab is a #Google voice experiment, an interactive music experience that allows the user the ability to create and compose their own music, through simple voice command. It was designed for use on the Google Home, but also can be enjoyed on your web browser. I am so unbelievably grateful to have been given the challenge of composing and musical directing a creative project of this magnitude. I am eternally grateful for all my incredibly talented friends who contributed to the making of MixLab; this would have been nothing without you. I want to thank @_yotam for believing in me. It has been such an honor to work with such a dear friend, and I am constantly floored by all of your talents. I also wanted to thank @alekfin for being my right hand man throughout the entirety of this process. You made this happen, and I am again so unbelievably grateful to have had you contribute all your time and talents to this amazing project. Try MixLab on on this page, or on your Google Home by requesting "OK Google, talk to MixLab"! Share the songs you come up with, and inspire more people to make their own music!! Link in Bio

Friends and loved ones, it is with both great excitement and catharsis I share with you a new musical outlet #Deepsleeper. Watch and listen from following link in bio. This will be the first endeavor making music for myself in over half a decade, and I'm reeling with anxiousness to finally let a voice out I've silenced for so long.

The man made my eyes well with tears during our session today. Far beyond an amazing drummer; a true artist with a craft for creating the perfect parts for your songs. #spiritlodgerecording
