As I sit back and reminisce about this time last year, I find myself transported to the recording studio, where the sessions for what would later become “The Soundtrack of Our Lives” were taking shape. The excitement of delving deep into the creative process, capturing songs that longed to be shared with the world, was palpable. From deeply personal compositions to some of my favourite work, the journey was exhilarating.
Fast forward to the album's release in May, and the joy of performing these songs live has been nothing short of thrilling—perhaps as exciting as any moment in my musical career thus far.
Now, with the dawn of a new year, there's a sense of reset, a chance to reflect and plan the next steps. While I'm not one for New Year resolutions, December and the early weeks of January have been spent contemplating the path ahead. I find myself deeply enamoured with the music-making and writing process, reigniting the drive that fuels my creative journey.
The primary focus is on the follow-up to “The Soundtrack of Our Lives”. I've decided to pull back the curtain on the creative process, offering you a glimpse into the journey from the inception of the songs to their recording and the album's final assembly. While I won't reveal too much now, I hope this album will serve as a genuine and worthy sequel to the emotional landscape explored on the last record. Expect an exploration of life's appreciation, the fleeting time we have on this planet, and the people we share that time with.
Keep an eye on your inboxes for updates and messages from me. While I'm uncertain about the next live performance opportunity, I encourage you to come, chat, and become a part of the music I'm creating.
As a token of appreciation, I'd like to offer you a sneak peek into the "where we've come from" aspect of this musical journey… An early demo from the last record—a version that sounds nothing like the final track. It's not better, just different, and I believe you'll sense the evolution. Enjoy this glimpse into the creative process, and thank you for being a part of this musical odyssey.
