2026 feels like a year of potential—not because everything is figured out, but because the path feels clearer.

2025 was a mixed bag—but a meaningful one. Touring, finishing Ghost Stories, starting album three, and learning what’s sustainable as a DIY musician.

Sometimes we pray for resurrection, justice, peace… and still feel unheard.

“Are you blind to me? Or can I not see you?”

King Incognito—a song born out of wrestling with God’s silence when life feels unfair.

If you’ve ever wondered whether He sees you, this one’s for you.

When the holiday season make you feel alone…

My song King Incognito searches for God when He feels hidden.

If you’ve been there, you’re not alone.

Are you a subscriber on YouTube? I'm 15 shy of 200 and I'd love to get there before the end of the year. There I do my weekly livestream, post demos and covers as well as live tracks and lyric videos. It's some pretty good content if I do say so myself.

Day 31 — “Ghost Stories”

A song about memory, grief, and the echoes we carry. Day 31 and still finding new ways this one speaks.

Day 25 — “Sing for the Day”

Truth is stubborn.

Hope is louder than fear.

And someday, we’ll see clearly what we can only glimpse now.

Day 24 — “Sing for the Day.”

We’re not meant to stay silent.

This track is about lifting your voice while waiting for truth, justice, and unity to break open.

Day 22 — “Seasons”

Sleepless nights.

Endless waiting.

A prayer whispered into the dark “How long?”

This is the heart of Seasons.

Day 21 — “Remains of Time.”

A song about time—not the science of it, but the heart of it.

The pieces we keep become the memories that outlast everything else.

Day 20 — “Remains of Time.”

Time moves fast.

Kids make you stop long enough to notice.

This song is about how the moments we remember are what time is truly made of.

Day 19 - “Remains of Time”

This song is about a conversation my cousin had with his 5yo daughter about what time is made of. Kids of a certain age have a way of asking the big questions.

I wanted to take a moment and shout out the work done by Tim Beeler and my cousin/producer Jon Gillespie on Secondhand. I really enjoy what they each brought to this song.
