I've been making music for over a decade, but it had always been just for me-- never to share with anyone. But after playing shows with &Bops and growing as a person (and a musician), I finally mustered to share this collection of songs, an album I've entitled, "Ruff Hausin'"
It's intentionally a bit rough around the edges as I tried to reflect on the hardships that I've gone through and many do as they enter adulthood; being out on your own for the first time, job troubles, financial troubles, losing loved ones, and finding your own identity.
To my community in San Marcos, thank you for your love and support.
Thank you to everyone who had given feedback on the record.
And thank you to JAIZE and Leeland Batts for their amazing contributions to the record. I couldn't have done this without y'all.
