Yeah, that’s me.
That this record actually got finished is incredible and a huge relief, but the fact that it is indeed REALLY FUCKING GOOD is absolutely insane.

Excellent description of the crowd. “Sober, plastered, minor felons, investment bankers, minorly felonious investment bankers.” 😂

Haha! I never make the same mistake THREE times.

It’s a real privilege to be recognized for work that I genuinely love to do. Thank you to the AAF for the Silver Medal Award and to everyone who has supported me along the way. I’m truly grateful and looking forward to many more years of creative endeavors.
