One year ago today, my record Distractions came out.
This year has been a bit of a rollercoaster. I had to slow down, deal with some health stuff, and learn to take better care of myself. Taking care of myself also meant letting go, rethinking some things from scratch and figuring out what really matters.
I’ve learned a lot about patience, and how much I truly love, and need to do this. Even when it’s tiring, or makes me feel alone, or like I’m not enough, it still gives me a sense of purpose I can’t replace.
Sometimes I wish I were better at playing the game, more selective, more curated… I often feel like I’m late, or expiring even.
But then I remember: it’s always about the journey.
I’m grateful for the people who stood by me and really showed up, and for the new faces I’ve met.
Fun fact: the bags on the cover were actual objects photographed (beautifully realized by Contento.360) and this is how some of them look now. Time flies.
So, happy 1-year anniversary to this record, but mostly, cheers to what’s next.
Copies and some merch are still on Bandcamp.
Support really means a lot, plus my apartment is tiny, so help me get rid of everything, pleaseee, daiii!!!
And if you want to book a show, hit All Things Live – playing live is still one of the best reasons to put music out these days.
