music for me has always been about the unfiltered truth—no corporate filters, no fake happy endings. when i pick up my guitar, whether i’m quiet fingerpicking in an intimate room or letting out a soaring belt that stops people in their tracks, i want every note to hit you straight in the chest. when we captured the tracking for ‘corona showers’, we kept everything raw and live right off the board. at the end of the take, you can literally hear me catch my breath, laugh, and say, ‘that was better… i told him.’ that candid moment is what not so typical. is all about—protecting the real, unedited emotion of independent music.
