I am really pleased to announce that my second EP will be released on Friday, May 21. 

The EP titled, "Nowhere Man" has, like many sophomore albums, taken forever. COVID certainly hasn't helped. 

A big thank you to Greg Vyrostko for producing "Nowhere Man" and for Zucca from the band Wild Stomp singing the duet on the track, "Back Home to You."

Look out for the EP to drop on all digital platforms. As a teaser, here is a link to the music video of the track titled, "Tareme".

Thanks for listening!

The tracks are completed, mixed and mastered.

Album artwork almost done. 

Look out for a special feature from Zucca of Wild Stomp on one of the tracks!

Do you remember raKu-raKu? The Tokyo based folk band from the 2010s? They have recently digitally rereleased a previously, only available on CD, EP called “Kitch”. 

Available on all streaming platforms.

Although some musicians are back playing, I'm still waiting for the numbers here in Tokyo to drop (or vaccinations) before getting back out to the clubs to play. 

In the mean time, I have been working on some new music and am hoping to release in the near future. 

Thanks for checking in and see you soon!

Hi all, 

Well, during COVID-19, and no chances to play live, I decided to challenge myself to one take sessions. 

This is where I record myself playing, one shot and then forcing myself to upload them - mistakes and all. It's not the best way to create content I know, but I could have spent hours rerecording the same song and killed the enjoyment for myself. 

I thought this way, it is more like listening to me live but without all the wait time in between. 

I'll be trying to post one or two of them a week, so as to not oversaturate my HUGE fanbase ;)

I hope you enjoy. 

Here's the first two: Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi

and Father and Son by Cat Stevens.
