I’m writing y’all from a duck searching journey as a result of I need to fill you in on one thing occurring tonight.
 
Again in 2014, I went to Florida to strive my hand at making authentic music & songwriting for the primary time. This led to a recording cope with a neighborhood investor & an artist administration deal that I deeply remorse. Sadly, I signed each offers with none authorized illustration.
 
We made 13 songs. Some have been okay, most have been horrible as I used to be simply studying the way to write generally & figuring all of it out. I used to be not the one collaborator, so many of those songs weren’t my concept nor to my requirements. We deemed 5 worthy-enough to make the Stand Alone EP which features a fan-favorite, “Spin You Round.”

Tonight, these colleagues I parted methods with nearly 10 years in the past plan to launch a “tenth Anniversary” version of Stand Alone towards my needs & embrace 8 unreleased songs, distributing it with the help of my former managers. For months I’ve been exploring each avenue doable to amass the rights to this outdated music & maintain the high quality of my catalog in line with songs I select to launch & imagine in.
 
It’s gross, grasping & an instance of how the darkish facet of the music enterprise can suck the soul out of artists.

I would like you to know that is NOT my new music & I don’t need to see this occur to anybody else. I cringe after I pay attention to those songs & I’m involved my followers might mistakenly imagine that is a brand new launch by me. I start recording my subsequent undertaking on the finish of February. I’m feeling impressed creatively & tremendous excited to make extra music I’m pleased with.
