For a long time, I didn’t trust small signs of progress. Not because they weren’t real, but because they felt out of proportion to the work. When you’ve put years into something, a single comment or a slight uptick can feel almost insulting. Like being asked to clap for crumbs. GHOST2·0 landed differently. Not dramatically.Continue reading “Learning to Count Small Wins Without Lying to Myself”

For three years I’ve been releasing music to a tiny audience. Not “blowing up.”Not “algorithmically blessed.”Not “about to break through.” Just small, scattered signs of life. A handful of listeners who keep coming back.Some solid radio support.A modest social following. Enough to know the music isn’t nothing — but nowhere near enough to feel momentum.Continue reading “What it’s like releasing music to a tiny audience for three years”

I’ve been thinking a lot about where AI fits into my creative process — and where it doesn’t. The conversation around AI in music is messy, and as an independent artist I’ve had to figure out what feels authentic for me. So here’s the honest truth, I have experimented with AI visuals in the past.Continue reading “Where I Draw the Line With AI in My Music”

Scrolling for Love came out of a pretty blunt reality: after being single for more than five years and living in a place where I rarely cross paths with other gay men, the only place to meet people is online. And honestly? It feels wrong most of the time. Everything about modern dating apps feelsContinue reading “Scrolling For Love — Where the Song Was Born”

GHOST2·0 is officially on the way. This new version is bigger, cleaner, and more cinematic — the sound I always wanted this track to have. It’s fully re-produced from the ground up and hits a lot harder than the original. The pre-save is now live, and it genuinely helps more than anything. If you’ve beenContinue reading “Announcement: GHOST2·0 – Pre-Save Now Live”

Over the past few days I’ve been watching a creator called ContraPoints on YouTube, and it’s genuinely been a game-changer for me. Her videos are long, philosophical deep dives into culture, psychology, identity, art, and the way we make sense of the world. It was exactly what I needed after feeling bored with mindless streaming.Continue reading “Yearning, Craving, and Getting Real”

When I started shaping the artwork for Ghost 2.0, I kept circling back to one of my favourite covers – Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse’s Valerie. There’s something timeless about it: the torn paper edges, that mix of colour and shadow, the raw soul of Amy’s voice spilling through production that feels both retro andContinue reading “Reimagining Ghost: New Artwork Inspiration!”

When I wrote Ghost, it came from a place of feeling invisible in relationships, like I’d slowly disappear just to keep the peace. Times when I was scared to say what I really felt because honesty might push someone away. It’s that quiet prison where your sensitivity feels like something to hide. I’ve often foundContinue reading “Behind the Song: GHOST2·0”

When I was writing Running Away, it carried a lot of meanings for me. It reflects different moments where I realised that how I look at something completely changes how I feel about it. You can see loss, or you can see opportunity. The situation might be the same, but the perspective changes everything. ThereContinue reading “Behind the Song: Running Away — An End Is Also a Beginning”
