“safety—empath in paradise” was the first track released from the meditation album on May 18, 2022.
Meditating rests my interior, to the point where I can have access to ideas and visions and inspirations-I can hear my own capital-S Self. Music, for me, is like a portal in a way, an invitation into a state of being that I’m not normally in. Making the record kept me super connected and accountable during COVID, when I felt like I was just going to disappear and float away.
