It was a thrilling, life-changing, transformative journey,” the talented singer-songwriter prefaced, before diving into an extremely heartfelt Instagram caption about the creation of his brand new EP.
“About 2 years ago, I started messing around in protools seeing if I could learn a few things about music production. Ummm… I became hyperfixated & obsessed VERY quickly. To be able to flesh out any idea instantly w/ every tool you could possibly need whenever you want… was SO empowering to me. So I kept writing & writing & producing & producing… nonstop. Every night. No goal in mind. Hundreds of songs/ideas,” he shared with his one million Instagram followers, before gushing for a total of seven more paragraphs.
The talented-singer songwriter concluded his lengthy post as simple and straightforward as he could be: “The EP is called Parallel and it comes out 7.28… To be honest, it’s pretty f*****g great!” — We seriously could not agree more!
