New Music (in development)

Inspired by the resilience and optimism of ex-slave Alice Gaston, Mama Said is a tribute to mother-figures the world over who push their children to overcome hardship and adversity in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

A futuristic genre-traversing song of hope and determination. A song for a new generation struggling to find its place and purpose in a world of few prospects and fewer visionaries.

A love story that never was between two friends divided by time and space.
