SOLUS
On this week’s episode I talk about my 2015 album SOLUS and how it came to be. I was at a point in my life where I realized I could not be in a successful and healthy relationship until I processed some major things from the past and how they had made me relate to others. Being so close to someone had become impossible and I had work to do. SOLUS is that work.

Lantern Through the Labyrinth
In this episode I discuss my 2014 album Lantern Through the Labyrinth in which every song was based on a dream I have had at some point in my life. It was an interesting journey and project. I go through each song and explain the dream it is based on as well as the musical symbolism throughout the album.

Season One Finale: Being Gay in the Music Industry & Some Unreleased Live Recordings
In this final installment for season one I tell a story I have never told about deciding how and when I wanted to come out and how that was jeopardized by some behind the scenes betrayals. It was interesting to process some of my thought processes from 1995-2004 through the lens of 2020. I was young and had to make tough decisions that many on all sides disagreed with sometimes. It has taken this long for me to be comfortable enough to really talk about it. Throughout we hear three unreleased live recordings that I recently found going through a bunch of CD-Rs.
