This past weekend my very first album “THIS ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE” turned five years old. To me that's an absolutely astounding feat… something I worked on turning half a decade old. I'm only 22 and that's something I can say. No matter my success level right now, in the past, or how far I could go in the future I can always celebrate these milestones of projects I started working on as a teenager and look back on them to see just how much I've grown. I'm grateful for so much, I still feel like I need to take the time to really give myself credit for how much I've been able to accomplish. I don't have a team… no manager, no booking agent, no set producer, nothing like that. I run my show!! I think that's cool!! NOW- that doesn't mean I'm not actively looking to build a team. It would be super helpful lol. 

Back to the topic… this album means so much to me, more now than it did when I was first working on it. Being able to look back on the creation of this project really put it in perspective how hard I was working at the time. I'd get home from school, work, musical rehearsals, etc then go straight to GarageBand to start production or vocal passes. I remember recording the vocals for “Better Off as Strangers” in Gracie's room as she was helping me with my math homework LOL. I wrote “The One You Love” after getting home from a Newsies rehearsal… you know going through some teenage things. I wrote “Find My Way Home” just a few days before turning 17. All of these specific things I've been able to look upon fondly, I'm so happy I've grown fonder of this project. I really do hope you guys check out the re-record, I'm super proud of it!!

More to come at some point (brand new material don't worry)
