Released in June 2024, this project marks a significant chapter in my musical journey as my first solo album featuring a full band.

While my previous work often focused on a more intimate sound, “The Paid Acquaintances” brings a new level of depth and energy to these songs. Having the collaborative power of a full band allowed us to explore richer arrangements and a bigger, bolder atmosphere that I’ve wanted to capture for a long time.

I’m incredibly proud of how this record turned out, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.
