about

In the fall of 2022 I found an ad on Craigslist for a free upright piano just up the road from where I lived. We had moved into our new house in Tacoma a month or so before and I was looking to help outfit my new studio/practice space with the staple elements for music-making. I had sat at other’s pianos and noodled around without much direction in the past, but never took the time to fully immerse myself in learning how to operate an acoustic piano, let alone write songs with one. I began to dive into self-teaching myself how to play the piano and immediately began finding inspiration searching around the keys, feeling the vibration in my chest and the lightness of being present in the moment with just myself and the piano. I was hooked, and soon I had snippets of original song ideas which I’d practice daily making sound halfway decent.

Cut to a little under a year later in summer of 2023 and I am a brand new papa. My heart is brimming with love at the arrival of our little one, and I’m anxious to share my love for music and the sense of oneness I feel when deeply moved by a song or the sound of a beautiful chord vibrating in real time. A generous friend and musical collaborator purchased a shirt fitted with a baby pouch in the front so I could still play while holding the little guy snug to my chest. This was an absolute game changer as I was no longer writing to serve my sense of enjoyment, but to try and soothe and reach the heart of the tiny child attached to my body. He heard what I heard. So I began writing for the two of us, hoping it would serve as a time of bonding for us, but also inspire the kind of songs which would soothe him and/or lift his little spirit while it filled the air around him. Lullabies is a collection of songs I wrote with my son Elliott. They are dedicated to him and my wife Dayna.
