Abstract
I view each musical project I release as a personal timestamp that marks a specific milestone in my life, showcasing my influences, my skills in songwriting and production, as well as the evolution of my lyrical voice. My new EP ‘Year of the Dragon’ is no different in that aspect. Blending the sounds of a couple of my previous albums while presenting that in a refreshing and nuanced style. This record is an intersection of intricate chordal guitar parts, hooky singer songwriter music, and modern hip hop / R&B loop based production. The name of the EP is a symbol for the growth I'm looking to experience this year in my music and in my career. As I step out of the academic world and enter the professional music industry in LA I am so excited to be represented by a new album that I fully created and own 100%. The ‘Year of the Dragon’ EP is a showcase of my growth as a songwriter and producer while diving into new inspirations, new vulnerable topics, and new sounds overall
