Insight Timer
Several solo albums that were pretty great but was too exhausted to promote properly.
Most recently, I've been helping a lot of my teenager's friends write and produce their own music. It's been so satisfying to hear their ideas come to fruition that I'd love to continue on this new path of helping others complete their songs.
