I love live shows and listening to music.

My Instagram was overflowing with concert footage, so I decided to share my thoughts and experiences with you here as an extension of that!

Rewind: Best Albums of 2020!

Happy (almost) New Year! I know I have been gone for like months, but I wanted to return on a good note and share some of the music and artists that have been getting me through this whole pandemic situation. I know, who thought I’d be using the word pandemic in an intro – but here we are. Anyway, there were a lot of changes in the world and in my life, and that also includes changes to my taste in music and exactly how I absorb content. I found myself not wanting to really relate to anything at the start of this, and as I turned to a lot of new music in foreign languages, it kind of took me back to a purely sonic approach to determining what sounds actually caught my attention (detached from the lyrics themselves). So, you may see some things here that are new, surprising, or even shocking – but isn’t that what 2020 was all about? These few selections are based purely on my perceptions and are in no particular order. Let’s get into it!

Hi friends! Thanks for taking time to visit my site, considering the recent political and social climate. Over the past month, not only have I’ve been all-the-way consumed with moving into a new apartment, but we are now officially quarantined as a nation – so I apologize for the extended hiatus! But there’s been so many juicy things happening in music that I have more than enough to ramble about going forward. We’ve got new videos out, albums dropping, singles being released, and much, much more. Let’s not waste any time, and let’s occupy our thoughts (and our ears) with something positive!
