Starting off the new year right. I usually don't like doing shameless promoting, but the stuff I have locked and loaded for this year, I think is really something else. Went as far to submit one of my songs to a publication for review, share and all that. Was nice enough to get some love from the blog Metal Junkbox and on their playlist.

After a month of taking time off to recharge my creative flow, I hunkered down and decided to work on a new EP. Set to release next year. I plan on having the EP pure instrumental, but a couple songs on the EP have lyrics for them and I'm working on getting those done now.

Will release those as singles, but possibly a 2nd version with all vocal editions, depending how that plays out.

I think this is some of my best work. Both creatively, but also in terms of quality and I'm very excited to share it with everyone.

More info on a release date once it's set. I'm hoping to have it out by March, but will release one of the singles with the new year.

Also, have a collab going with @RaneMusic, so very excited to have that going too.

Figured I'd drop an update since I feel like I've been MIA for longer than usual. It's just been a really crazy year. Lost my mom, bought my first house, then lost my grandmother all within 4 months of each other. Just had to put down my dog of almost 17 years yesterday and the last couple months has been crazy busy trying to help navigate the health issues. I've been faced with a new kind of alone in a way. I've always had a parent, or roommate or pet or SOMETHING around at least some of the time. Now the house seems hollow. So adapting to that now. Needless to say, there's been a lot to keep me away, but I'm still around...listening to all your stuff. Albeit in the dark, lol. I did just drop a new song just now and have a collab in the works with @ADR3-N tho that will likely be out later. So this might be the last submission I drop for the foreseeable future.

I think I've been going pretty hard for the last 2 or 3 years and am overdue for a break. I do still need to condition my new studio set up for vocal recording, as I really want to do vocals for the song I did with @Burn7. Just need a moment to get it done.

New Song Here

Instrumental version of @Burn7 and I collab on Paradigm is up now here. Will be out on all streaming services on June 7th.

May 15th!

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I am releasing my first album "As A Phoenix We Rise" on all streaming platforms. Very excited to share this small collection of songs that hold a place in my heart in hopes it will connect with others that are on a similar journey or having struggles that it may inspire them to overcome.

Always know you're not alone.

Dial or text 988 if you're experiencing moments and need help.

I posted the teaser here, but the final version of Crusde will be out on all Spotify tomorrow and should be on all other platforms shortly after. I'll eventually post it up here on newgrounds as well of course. I also plan on doing an extended version in the future. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. Even though it won't be an official part of the album release, I wanted to put something new, different and heavy out to see if anyone is even listening, lol.

hope you enjoy!

I have a lot of stuff planned for next year, but unfortunately no real solid time frame any of it. The album release was planned for streaming services this May and I had a couple singles to put out to (hopefully) build some anticipation for the full album. Sadly, all that kinda changed. A week before Christmas my mother passed from her 4 year long battle of ovarion cancer. It didn't come out of nowhere tho, so I've had time to prepare myself for this loss, although it still sucks.

But that does mean I have a lot of things to take care of before I can really continue with music. I'll be slowly releasing what new music I have recorded (roughly 4 or 5 things) in the mean time, but hope anyone who was looking forward to the album will be understanding and patent. I'll have the first track out on the 1st of the year.

Thank you!

Tomorrow, December 15th, my first single off the album "As A Phoenix We Rise", will be available on streaming platforms!

I hope you'll all check it out, enjoy it and possibly follow my artist account? :)

I'm currently working on finalizing the entire album for a release early next year.

Although due to family issues, it might be delayed.

If you check it out, I would love you forever if you left me some love (or criticism) as a comment here, lol.

Thanks!!

After some hesitation and rethinking and a push of encouragement from @ADR3-N I decided to work on getting my music ready for streaming platforms such as Spotify, Youtube Music, Apple Music, etc. I've released only an instrumental single as a 'test run' while I set everything up, but plan on fully releasing a deluxe version of my album "As A Phoenix We Rise' sometime early next year. Starting with a remastered version of "Buried (From Inside) as a single. I hope you'll take the time to follow me and check out some of my music as they come out!

I'm hoping to release a couple 'streaming exclusives' although everything will always be on NG eventually. I really want to thank @ADR3-N for encouraging me to reconsider publishing everything to Spotify.

(still working on getting claimed on apple music. Having some trouble since I'm no longer an apple user, verifying everything is a pain in the ass)

EDIT: the very first single is scheduled to release on December 15th! Hope you all like it!
