Music

The album, available on major streaming platforms, is much more than a collection of 11 tracks; it's an autobiographical into his experiences, feelings, and very essence. Drawing inspiration from fleeting moments in a car, the warmth of home, or the allure of foreign lands, each song has been birthed from the heart. They encapsulate tales of love, heartache, personal challenges, and the ever-elusive chase of life's desires (it's all right Thomas, you'll get there boi!).

 

From scorching solos that ignite passion to mellifluous melodies that offer solace, this album bridges the generational gap. With nods to classic Blues, dashes of Jazz, country undertones, and folk storytelling, there's something here for every listener.
