What Am I: A Sneak Peak

I look in the mirror and what do I see,
My worst enemy staring back at me, 
Ahhhhhhhh what am I,
Ahhhhhhhh what am I...

These are the opening lines to "What Am I", a track on my new album that shares the same name. What Am I is the biggest, most experimental album I have ever worked on. As of this posting, I am actively writing and recording it. It's a constantly evolving project. The amount of genres I'm covering still surprises me. I'm not going to give anything away, but the next single I drop will give you an idea of the range of this thing. I simply can't stop writing songs for it either. I keep thinking of great lines I simply can't waste. It's a shame just thinking that not all of these songs will be able to fit. The songs are all vastly different from each other, but they all share one thing, they're all about me. This album is extremely personal. These songs are my stories. This is my life. I know how experimental this thing is going to be, and I can see where people might get worried. What started as a simple EP has evolved into a ridiculously ambitious project. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Until next time!
