Behind the Song: Got a Minute?
Sometimes, the song just flows easy peasy. I was having a rough day (well, maybe week) and I was feeling super overwhelmed. Not like, panic attack overwhelmed, more like on the surface “fine” but under the hood “quiet dread”. Not…

Behind the Song: “We’re Still Here”
Man! Where did the time go? This is the last song on the Across the Frequency album (well, mostly, I have one more but it’s a dance mix version of Masquerade, not a new song, so it doesn’t really count…

New Album! “Chance of a Lifetime”
I’ve been in a reflective mood lately. After many years in the game industry, I’ve reached a place where I can turn my experiences as a developer into something creative and uniquely personal. I ended up shaping some of those…
