‘Becoming’ is a collection of original songs (along with two classic covers) which begged to be completed and polished. Except for one, the original ideas for these dates back several decades, but they remained on my ‘to-do’ list because the music was just too good to NOT use sooner or later. Woven into the fabric of ‘Becoming’ is a dark underscore (the pandemic, human isolation, and Ukraine’s struggle for liberation specifically), providing a counterpoint to what is ultimately an uplifting musical essay on determination, positivity, and self-actualization.

I simply could not let myself ‘leave this planet’ without first putting out- to whomever would give a listen - these small gems.
