These past few months have been spent really focused on learning and growing. I haven’t updated this blog in around two months and that’s fairly common for me with a number of personal projects. That being said, it doesn’t mean that I’ve put everything down. I’ve been spending these past two months playing around with new…
#NewMusic – Wake Up: Fully Producing My First Song Alone
It somewhat baffles me that as an artist who has been writing his own songs for about 12 years now, I have never fully produced a song with my vocals on it. Well, that’s not entirely true. In the past, I have mucked around editing covers and I did release a “single” in 2012 that…
I’m Feeling Me.
I’ve been feeling more me again. I don’t know what sparked it, but I’ve been feeling more energized and especially artistic. I fall in and out of feeling me quite frequently, and sometimes I feel like there are glimpses of me feeling me, but this time I feel closer than I’ve ever felt. It sounds…
Dance the Soap Away
I’ve recently downloaded a few apps to my phone to keep me a bit more active. Well, one of them is the video game Pokémon Go, which my partner pretty much begged me to get back into. The other is Google Fit, which I downloaded since the integration of the two. Being someone who has…
Breathe Like
I find it extremely hard to separate myself from art. Although there have been countless efforts to try to convince me that there would no way for me to survive just creating art, those efforts mean nothing to me since I feel like art is just the extension of me. My sister always jokes that I…
Write: Getting Past the Writer’s Block
I want to write I always have I love words They’re all I have I’ve always written Never stopped But sometimes I run from it I try to adopt A version of me That isn’t real Something that others find ideal But still, I write But still, I write But still, I write I’m going to…
Grandpa’s Ghost
Sleep Paralysis. Horrific Dream. Sleep Paralysis. Horrific Dream. Ghost. Ghost. Ghost. Wake Up. Where am I? Dead. It’s been another day where I wake up to an intense dream, more recently they’ve all been about my late grandpa and they’ve been getting more and more… well for the lack of a better word intense. This…
The Art That I Love
A lot of my life feels like it was spent trying to prove people wrong. I’ve been trying to relearn how to read sheet music, so I was looking at the cliché piano piece Für Elise and I had a quick flashback to the year I took piano lessons in elementary school. I remember my…
“It Doesn’t Matter, I Have To Kill Her Because She Looks The Part”
I have a problem with reoccurring nightmares, especially when I’m under a lot of stress. These past few weeks it’s been a similar dream, all with having to be Middle Eastern. The dream Goes Something like this. A good friend of mine and I are walking down the street and we happen upon a lady in…
Foggy Daze
It’s been a stressful and taxing few weeks. Going from having a couple of courses to more courses than I can keep track of and staying away from my own personal work has been a huge lesson in time managment. I think things would be a bit different if my travel time wasn’t so far from each…
