I am a filter. . . .

Never before in my life, has it been so easy to let the events in our world bleed through the fabric of my artistic mind and pour out the other side in my music. With the world in turmoil and with no real end in site, it is no wonder that my newest album "The Dark After Dawn" should reflect the bitter struggles of people like you and I in a world of plunged into crises from every angle.

I invite you to take a musical journey into the mind of one such individual, who is living out his days in the battle between hope and despair. His is the story of many of us. His struggles are common themes in this world of uncertainty and chaos. Dark though the tale may be, there is a thread of hope woven through these songs. I believe that only in seeing the darkness will we be able to appreciate the light.

If you are a fan of thoughtful lyrics or a lover of concept albums like Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', you are sure to find a certain enchantment in "The Dark After Dawn". Although many of it's songs will stand nicely on their own, It is really meant to be heard as one whole unbroken piece of art where each song is just one segment of the journey. I hope you will put aside one hour of your life and sit down with my latest creation, "The Dark After Dawn”.
