What better way than with a track like ‘Into The Wind’.
A mix of rock with hints of ballad and a diversity usually espoused by most songwriters, ‘Into The Wind’ flies into the face of the mainstream and gives us a taste of what happens when the creative side meets the technical side head-on.

Now he launches his solo project with his debut cinematic roots rock single “Into the Winds”. He shares, “I wanted my first single as a solo artist to be a song that has my influences on full display, and a message of hope and trust in the universe. The line, ‘You’re where you’re supposed to be,’ is an affirmation that, for good or bad, you’re on the right path. It’s hard to see the bigger picture when life is throwing hard times, but those hard times can be lessons and opportunities if you let them.”
