I'm happy to announce the upcoming release of my latest studio project, "Back to the '80s." This fall, I spent over a hundred hours in the studio meticulously recreating four memorable pop songs from my teenage years, and paired them with vocalists who could deliver the energy and mood of the original recordings. The EP is scheduled to drop on all the major digital platforms on December 15, but downloads are available now on my website.
