This has been one of the most amazing years ever...It has been such an incredible journey throughout this last year of music, and the last 5 years spent at Humber. It feels amazing to say I've also GRADUATED, and here is something to show for it!
This Album has definitely changed me for the better, and has challenged me in so many unique ways. It feels amazing to write completely original material, and to even challenge myself to sing on some of said material... (Yeap... Second song - Where The Wind Don't Lie) There is a lot of emotion and soul put into this album, and it has a lot to do with my relationships, and also the ones many of us have had over the course of our earlier years in life. Especially our first love.
I want to thank SO many amazing people for helping me put this together. Without them, there would be no album... I truly appreciate all the help and support you all have given me In this quest to put down everything from my brain into those speakers...
