Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?
7 Curses is a good old-fashioned song about heartbreak. It’s a co-write with 20yr old underground artist Alexis Perry. We mixed the song with no processing, no reverb on the vocals, making it very real, very intimate and very different from the current trend to saturate everything from Large Hall verb and pitch correction. “7 Curses” is currently being looked at for usage in a new series on a major streaming platform that rhymes with… Netflix
Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?
My next single and music video “Use Her Not Found” will drop on you like a brick house May 1st!
