So here we are.  Nearly a whole global pandemic older and wiser.  It feels like time to breathe some new life into this website of mine.  I haven't checked in on here in a while, so let me start by taking you back to about a year ago.  The path I had set forth for myself heading into 2020 was one of solitude, personal growth, and artistic discovery.  The year was off to a rough start - certain events around the turn of the decade had me questioning a lot of what I once thought I knew, and honestly made me hesitant to engage with the world.  I just wanted to sit at home with my thoughts and seek emotional shelter and spiritual healing through music.
​
On a gloomy day in February 2020, a random and completely unplanned collaboration with an old friend breathed new energy into me.  The song that came out of that session is of great importance to me, and will be the intro track on my debut album.
​
So that brings me to my main reason for writing this, which is to tell you that I've got an album coming out this year!  The first single, "Yuki & the Ox" is coming out on April 2nd.  For all the music I've had the pleasure of being a part of, this will be my first ever release under my own name. 
 
I look forward to opening this window and inviting you, the listener, to get to know me better through my music.  This is really only the beginning...THANK YOU for being here.  It means a great deal to me.
​
I've added a Spotify link to my socials below.  There, you'll find a playlist of my collaborations and features, including two songs on Elusive's latest album "FEELS", and VERY soon, the debut single by The Pocket Queen called "WE CAME TO MOVE" - drops tonight at 9pm pst!
​
May this year ahead bless you beyond compare!
​
-Ian
