shooting album artwork, 1.3.24

after work today, i went home and wrote for an hour. then i walked bagel. though it was cold, i needed to shoot my album artwork cover for december 2023, but the planned location (with the concept in my mind) was logistically impossible for me to do it by myself so i called schuni. he was shooting for his youtube and told me he’d hit me up afterwards and we could make moves. we pulled up to washington street 3 hours later and was able to get the perfect shot for the album cover. i’m so excited to release this song. as i was standing in front of paramount theatre, it hit me, this is the start of it all. this is the beginning. i been wanted to release music since i was a teenager and i’ve been wanted to be a musician since i was in 5th grade. i finally fought off (some not all of) my demons, my insecurities, and my self-doubt to feel comfortable releasing a song. not even comfortable, excited. that’s progress if i’ve ever experienced it.

it’s all up from here.

it feels good to say december 2023 coming soon and mean it.
