Staring Straight at the Sun

Staring Straight at the Sun is a set of pop vocal songs I’ve been working on for a little over three years. Originally slated for a summer 2023 release, this project consumed my life, and I’m glad it did. I promised myself I wouldn’t release this album until I was the one singing on it: no copping out by releasing instrumentals or entirely depending on featured vocalists.

In making this project, I’ve learned a lot about lyrical songwriting and producing with vocals. I’ve been paying more attention to restraint and focus in my sound design. Staring Straight at the Sun constitutes my sincere attempt at making pop music; I’m excited to do it all over again.
