I told myself this would be the year I started seeing through with projects that had been in the oven for a long time. So here it goes...
I will be releasing new music for the first time in over 10 years. I'm excited, nervous, but overall relieved that this one-time obsession of songwriting is backin my life. Music is probably my first love. I went from playing hours a day to the point of not picking up the guitar for a stretch of years. A new obsession entered my life with my career and I started a family. There were many moments I had the opportunity to do so, but looking back I was heartbroken. Something soimportant to me and a big part of my identity quickly disappeared and by my own doing.
It was the motivation of my wife to dive back in.She thought it'd be really special to pass the torchto my daughter and teach her to play guitar. Thoughobvious in hindsight, it didn't click with me until that moment. "You're right! Why am I not doing this?It's very selfish of me to keep it dormant any longer". While my daughter Tegan is a modern pop lover vibing to Dua Lipa, she latched on to the likes of Queen & David Bowie at a very young age. She gets obsessed with Broadway musicals. Hell, music artists Tegan & Sara inspired her name! Music is also in her blood. Once lessons started, muscle memory kickedin and the gates were opened.
I have planned many exciting experiences involved with this project that I cannot wait to share witheveryone. I am blending skills I picked up along the way in my profession with this music project. I seriously can’t sleep because of all the ideasformulating. I know life is going to happen as it does, but I'mdedicated to seeing this through. There is still a lot of work to be done which is why I’m not putting a timeframe on this. However, this post is making it official.
This collection of songs is aptly titled, 120 Moons. 12 full moons for each year from the time I took a break from music.
