Dedicated to you… Gemini ♊️-

This one is a special one… In loving memory of my main Gemini, my big brother Pelon. In life you held down so many sides, I never saw them all & still look forward to discovering them. I love you. I miss you. Happy Birthday Big Bro. In your honor, I breathe.

Gemini, Having multiple sides is not what they all think. You are a magical shapeshifter, a bringer of joy and laughter. As the Messenger of the zodiac, you bring us enlightenment that takes tact, comedy & playfulness.

Thank you for giving us the words, the thoughts and teaching us your tricks. You are an alchemist amongst magicians. I am forever grateful for your mercurial ways, mischievous giggles & real life lessons. No one does it like you. You got my respect, my love & my admiration.

So I dedicate this to you.

This season has been wild. It’s all in Gods Plan.  Stay up my cosmic loves 👁💎❤️🧿 May you always be protected.

LB2019 BladeRunner Themed Dance Party

Party set in a time when androids ran rampant in the inner city and needed to be hunted down and crushed.  Set in Long Beach, the idea is to shoot it in such a way that it looks like the aesthetic.

My love of music may be an antidote to depression, but the work of being a musician takes its toll. 73% of independent musicians worldwide live with mental illness. I am proud to release Swimming, raising money for NAMI.org

/ About "Swimming" is the first single from Ward's new album, "Bring Me Low", focused on depression, mental health and the struggle that independent musicians face trying to find a meaningful place for their music today. 1 in 5 Americans(a) and 73% of independent musicians(b) worldwide live with mental illness. “Today’s music landscape makes it hard for artists to make ends meet. We struggle to stay healthy and positive,” Ward explains.” Ward explains. “I can’t think of a more important thing to sing about than this struggle I witness every day.” A percentage of all Ward's earnings support NAMI.org, a non-profit focused on providing help to millions of Americans who face mental illness every day.

Video Filming by Warren DiFranco / Video Edited by Chris Gongora / About This song was written in 2018 and was part of Ward's first live set in Mexico City.

The video captured the tour and the band's recording of this track live at the Rev9 Recording Studios in Los Angeles, CA, between tour dates this Spring 2019. Ward caught a bit of a cold before the session, but we dug the raspy voice so we kept it. Thanks to photographer Warren DiFranco who jumped in on some backup vocals.
