I’m very proud of this one right here >>>> SURPRISEEEEEEEE!!!! SECOND HAND HIGH IS OUT NOW 🚨🚨🚨🚨

this song has been SUCH an incredible journey for me as an artist. this is the culmination of so many months of hard work and meticulously working to get this song sounding EXACTLY how i envisioned. this track has gone through sooo many different iterations and versions, but i am so so so proud of the final product. i have so many people to thank:

first off, for lending his INCREDIBLE talents to produce this track. kevin has been such a champion for me since the moment we started working together and i couldn’t be more grateful for him. he has spent hours and hours with me, painstakingly finding the specific sounds that we wanted for this track. i couldn’t be more thankful for our friendship and truly cannot wait to see what other cool freaking s**t we come up with together. a true ride or die.

next, , my big sis. raffa believed so hard in this song and in me and really pushed me through some tough moments of self doubt and uncertainty!!! she is the reason i started fully pursuing my dreams of releasing my music, i truly wouldn’t be here without her. she was so generous to lend her insane mind and songwriting skills to this project and it just completely elevated the track. love you so much sis 😭

third, for lending her WICKED ears to mix and master this track and get it sounding *chefs kiss*. the way you hear music is insane!!! thank you thank you thank you.

my standby slayers, heard SO MANY different versions of this track and throughout it all they continued to encourage me and give me the confidence to see it through. i owe them so much 😭😭

A massive thank you to the incredible team below for making this happen. I’m one lucky fella.

LIGHTHOUSE is OUT NOW EVERYWHERE.

Oof I’ve been sitting with this song for quite some time now and I’m so elated that it’s finally available to the world.

This is a song of hope for people struggling in a relationship that has someone suffering from depression. Mental health is real and my thoughts, feelings, emotions, during a moment in time with someone, ended up on a piece of paper and turned into this song. The visual of a lighthouse guiding a ship through a storm really stuck with me.

I’m beyond grateful that I found the amazing who produced and mixed this track. He completely got where I wanted to go with it and is such a lovely talented badass human. Despite it being a sadish song, many giggles were had during the process.

To all my feelers out there- Beyonddd grateful for everyone that streams or buys this song. It’s a piece of my heart and hopefully can be apart of yours too . If you like it please give it a share, or pop it on a playlist or a reel. I’d love ya for it . It helps. Let me know what you think!

“Let this love be the lighthouse that will bring you home”

FOUR WALLS is OUT 🚨

i began writing this song a few years ago and it came back to me with a vengeance last year. it’s about the at times maddening pursuit of bedroom content making. i wanted the fun, frustration and restlessness of it all to be inside this track and was such a brilliant collaborator in making it happen. ironically, i did way too many lead vocal takes while we were recording this. we ended up using only the first take. 🤌🏼

go listen, save and share wherever you get your music! and stay tuned, some equally unhinged visuals coming soon 🟥🟥🟥

Gonna sell these bad bois 😭

Truly, this is my dream kit. I’ve always wanted big ol Vistalites. But the kinds of gigs I’m doing, the styles I’m hired to play, the rooms I’m playing, and recordings I make, they have never called for this kit, sadly. I have 4 other kits that cover all my bases. I also never have time to just play for fun.

So I bought this kit as a 40th birthday present to myself in September 2022, played it for a couple hours when I first brought it home and literally have not touched it since. It’s just sitting in cases at my place ☹️ And as much as I WANT to just have this kit, with a busy touring & gigging summer coming up, I know it’s likely going to be another year at the earliest before I even have the chance to think about playing it. So, I offer it up to a good home where it will see real action :)

It comes with Ahead Armor cases for 24, 18, and 13, and a hard case for the 16. I also put Remo Clear Power Dot heads on the toms, and still have the original factory heads in the cases - all barely used. I can also deliver personally within the GTA, likely a lot of southern Ontario, if you prefer.

I bought it for $4000 plus tax and cases
For buds, I’m hoping for $3500ish. Not looking for any trades right now, I have too much gear as is. But happy to split up the payment (for verryyy close buds) over a couple months or so if it makes it easier :) idk

Hmu if it’s calling your name. Pass it along to any buds that might be interested 😘
