It’s really happening. I’m so excited to announce that my new record, DISCONNECTED, will finally release this March! The launch party will be in Scotland, at the Glasgow Film Theatre on Monday 23 March 2026.
The tracks were produced by my musical hero, the legendary Glaswegian alt-rocker RICO, whose albums have had a profound influence on me throughout my life.
I can’t wait to share more stories from our time together over the next few months, and at the event itself.
There’s so much more to talk about—
so strap in and stay tuned.
All will be revealed in time.

YOU ARE

in 2023 I reconnected with friends all around the world, and rediscovered myself in the process.
heading into the new year with a clear vision & purpose.
music, film, [????]…
hoping you’ll see it all in 2024.
happy new year! 🫡

devastated this week over the news of Rico passing away. one of my all time favorite music artists for almost two decades, and more recently (and importantly), a great friend.
he pushed me to go harder than I thought possible with my own music, really diving in and taking it seriously in a way I’d never experienced before as an artist. unbelievably wise and inspirational, he raised the bar in what I expect from myself creatively moving forward.
you need to check out his albums Sanctuary Medicines and Violent Silences. I’ve always seen his music as the missing puzzle piece in the late 90s/early 00’s alternative/triphop/industrial web… but it also stands out as something totally his own.
play it loud.
just reached the end of principal photography for the next big release from DEJA DEAD!
it was an incredible, intense, ridiculously fun four days working with a legendary cast and crew to bring our vision to life.
there is so much more to come, and so many people to thank. that post, which will be much longer, will happen closer to the project’s release… but for now, THANK YOU to the director mastermind @spookysottak for spending the last few months meticulously crafting this world with me, and pulling out all the stops to make it a reality!
and producer extraordinaire @jayeisner, for connecting all the dots, keeping the river flowing… and driving the van.
now to recharge a little bit, and then dive into this mountain of footage to start editing ✂️🎞
stay tuned…

[LINK IN BIO] Here’s a cover of a deep cut track by Rico, called “SELF REPAIR”. Listening to it again in the context of everything that’s been going on in the world this year, it struck me in a new way. It’s been hard to feel motivated to create at all lately, but this song stirred something in me that started to spark the engines once again. Nod your head to this track with me for a couple minutes, take a deep breath, then get up and keep fighting. Keep donating. Do whatever you can to make sure things never go back to ‘normal’. We need a new normal. It starts now. (and wear a mask - despite the headlines, this pandemic isn’t over yet)
