So I’m embarking on a new musical journey. Well, not really. I’ll be making a new album though….already started. This one will be different. My first album (yellow jelly) was full of a bunch of different kind of sounds. It was my first time, so I wanted to feel out my sound and get a grip on what I want out of the music.
Well it’s been a bit, and I’ve learned SO MUCH since then. About music, about recording, about LIFE. I’m 24 now, and in no way do I have things figured out, but sometimes I think realizing that helps me. While recording the Yellow Jelly E.P. I was going through some of the toughest times in my life. It was this sort of inner battle. It even came out in the recordings (especially in “Memories”).
The first Album taught me so much. Once I got out of the studio with a finished product I realized I would have done the whole thing differently with the knowledge I had acquired. But I think every artist has that thought. That’s what keeps us driving.
I was on my own for the first release. No band, no manager, no label. This time around I have a lot of support and am really excited to produce something new.
I’ve been writing alot lately. Alot about the ocean. Alot about people’s true character. Wrote a song about poverty. Another is about treating the Earth kindly. Wrote another about just hanging out at my friend Yenz’ house. I think the next album (although its at a very beginning stage right now) will tell alot about who I am and what I am thinking.
“what’s your point?” you might be thinking.
Really, I can’t tell you. I don’t KNOW. All I know is I’m going to go play some guitar right now.
