Thanks for watching Love Best (LIVE)!

What a beautiful way to spend a morning.. meandering through an antique shop in a small town. You could spend weeks in here and still find something new each day! So many nooks and crannies filled with old memories and charm. Even took a couple treasures home ;)

Huge thank you to for collaborating on this project! It’s always a joy to work with her!

You can watch the video now on my page or on YouTube :)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but having your talented friends, who are artists in their own right, be on my album is not only a no brainer, but an absolute necessity. I wouldn’t be the artist I am without knowing these irreplaceable presences in my life. and added flourishes to my songs that really made the song feel complete. And having produce those sounds is the icing on the cake. Not present on picture day is also and .ogrady whose added vocals and musicianship make my heart happy when I hear them in the mix. Having my friends woven into the fabric of my album means the absolute world to me and I wouldn’t have it any other way 🖤🤍

Better (Live). Coming at you from the past, 2 years to be exact. This live video is a funny story because it was actually shot for a very special event for Big Brothers & Sisters of Canada celebrating all their Big Siblings.

When they reached out to me for a song, they were in the works trying to get The Killers to be part of their event, but when they heard my song, they chose Better over their original idea because it fit their theme more. Like, what?? Pretty cool 💪🏻
