I'm in a couple new music project that are about to record that I am very excited about. It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things, even though I'm 29 and sometimes feel silly for being a musician. I play guitar now and I'm extremely reluctant to call myself a guitar player, but I'm eventually going to have to get over it.

I spent a lot of years feeling shame for loving music, but thankfully I am now aware that I'm a lifer. Playing music, specifically drums, informs me so much of myself and the world around me. I am happy to give myself over to it.
