What do you call the debut of a new creative identity? A launch? A maiden voyage? A coming out party? A big reveal? A bat whatzvah?

It is a big deal to me, as I am releasing new music for the first time in years. My dear friend, musical collaborator and dandy cheerleader, Jeremy Little, started working on this record with me back in 2014, when I had just begun touring with Enrique Iglesias. Due to changes in both of our lives, we sidelined the project. When the Big Pause happened, we both had a little more time to revisit and complete the songs with a few more friends.

But… why the name change? Why not release these five new songs under my usual name?

Stay tuned for more backstory.
