    Obsession  |  Acceptance | Ingenuity  |  Audacity  |  Presence

  • Vision

    Perpetuation and proliferation of original story through song

    • open the ears of the deaf, and
    • soften the hearts of authority

    Structured and methodical NYC and outer-borough live performances (2 per month). Northeast-coast touring routes developed and activated. Studio production plan devised.

  • 2028

    Release of the first of 2 studio albums and multiple, peripheral singles. Onset of a national reach is cultivated. Collaborative partnerships with NYC "high arts" communities explored and nurtured.
