Home. Your very own, private kingdom. Your sanctuary. Where you feel at ease and safe to be your true self.

In 2021 our homes became our recording studios. Despite being apart, suddenly we were all connected across continents and time zones, manually creating the optimism we so desperately needed during the pandemic. In this unique time of isolation, when the whole world came to a halt, I saw an opportunity to start working with electronics, finally attempting to incorporate them in my music: the compositions on this album were written with the specific guests in mind, world class musicians I am proud to call my friends. ‘Home’ is a labor of love. All music was composed for and inspired by people I deeply respect and admire and I am honored to host them as guests in this album: Thana Alexa & Antonio Sanchez, Victor Provost, Brad Mason, Mauricio Zottarelli, Giovanni Mirabassi, Petros Klampanis, Thomas Konstantinou. Mike Pope not only mixed and mastered the project but added his bass on 4 tracks elevating them to a whole new level.
