New Single: Me gusta estar sola

“Me gusta estar sola” (I like being alone) was written in the winter of 2022 in my solitary moments, having chosen to be alone during the holiday season. It is an intense contemplation of the sheer enjoyment of solitude that is necessary to the creative process. It is also a double edged sword, as in solitude you sacrifice moments together with friends and family.

Co-written and co-produced by Dave Shul. Drums by Jay Lane. Mixed by Razteria Mastered by Trakworx. Cover art by Jamie Soja. Video edited by Sheila Da Silva.
