New Album: Echos & Edges

At the beginning of 2025, I set out to revive a collection of songs I originally wrote in 2016. My goal was to rehearse and record an acoustic version of one song every week. The result is this project—a candid, heartfelt glimpse into music that’s been rediscovered and given new life. You can read about the making of this album on my blog post.

The album is now available on all streaming platforms (such as Spotify or Apple Music), but you can also listen to it here on Bandcamp.
