As the songwriter behind "I See You," I feel compelled to share what this song truly embodies. It’s more than melody and lyrics, it's a heartfelt reflection on the essence of love, support, and unwavering presence. In a world constantly shifting and filled with challenges, I believe the most profound gift we can give is the promise to genuinely see and feel one another. To stand by someone in their darkest moments, offering comfort, strength, and understanding when words fall short.

This song serves as a gentle reminder that love transcends words; it is a steadfast journey rooted in empathy, connection, and loyalty. When we recognize the shared humanity in others, we illuminate the path with unconditional love, guiding us through life's inevitable ups and downs. To me, true love is about being present, being authentic, and always seeing beyond the surface, to truly see each other. That, I believe, is what makes love beautifully powerful and eternally transformative.

Three years ago, I released my second single, Hobbes (Please Don’t Ask)
This song is an exploration of the intricate dance between memory, love, and the chaos that resides within the human spirit. It reflects on a past relationship, shrouded in the nostalgic haze of the 90s, that was both profound and transformative. Through its lyrics, I invite reflection on how moments of joy and connection are inseparable from regret and longing, embodying the eternal tension between desire and impermanence.
The recurring imagery of rain, thunder, and storms acts as a metaphor for the internal tumult we all face, those turbulent waves of emotion that challenge our understanding of ourselves and shape our journey. “Hobbes” (Please Don’t Ask) serves as a meditation on how love, even when lost, leaves an indelible mark, transforming us in ways that transcend time and story.
Ultimately, it’s a contemplative look at the fleeting nature of existence and the lasting impact of our most profound connections. Thank you for accompanying me on this voyage through memory, emotion, and the depths of the human experience.

I humbly present to you: “After All This Time,” from my 2024 nominated album, “Thursday Child”.

This song is more than melody; it’s a meditation on the profound depths of love and loss. It explores the pain of heartbreak, the bittersweet memories of happier days, and the elusive nature of closure. It prompts us to question whether healing is truly possible, whether the scars of love can ever fully fade, or if they simply become part of us, whispering stories of what once was.

There’s a nostalgic reflection woven into the lyrics, a recognition that love’s fleeting moments, no matter how treasured, are transient. Yet, amid this impermanence, there remains a universal longing for understanding, for peace, and for the hope that after all the tears, growth is still within reach.

Thank you for taking the time to listen, not just to the song, but to the deeper reflection it embodies. May it resonate with your own journey of love, loss, and healing.

This song is about a relationship that has ended, leaving with a broken heart. The lyrics reflect on the memories shared with the former partner, questioning...
