What We Sow (EP)
“The concept being a reflection on growth. The idea that we ourselves, our relationships, are our actions are spawned from seeds sown both by our conscious and sub-conscious minds. By acknowledging the significance and potential of a seed (which I often equate to humble and vulnerable beginnings) we can then soon anticipate it to grow to heights not even yet fathomable through its care.
Each of the songs on the EP were once seeds; melodies and progressions I mulled over for a number of months before cultivating them. Once I did so, they grew into trees. The relationships I have with each of the artists on the project are trees both young and matured.
The potential of any and all things to be viewed as an opportunity for growth, community & deeper connection is what drives not only the creation of this project but also drives me as an individual.”
