New Age Philosophy
Welcome to The Musical Stoic. My journey began as a last-ditch effort to break through emotional walls and communicate what words alone could not. In a classic tale, a simple chorus idea emerged in the shower, inspiring the creation of my first song that very day. This moment marked the birth of my debut album, Breaking Phoenix.
Breaking Phoenix is an emotional odyssey exploring love, patience, anger, forgiveness, new beginnings, hope, acceptance, and, above all, love. The album’s lyrics weave a narrative of personal transformation and healing, deeply influenced by the stoic philosophies of Ryan Holiday and the relationship research of John Gottman. Almost every lyric finds its roots in The Daily Stoic, merging profound wisdom with heartfelt storytelling.
My music is not just about the sounds and melodies; it’s a testament to enduring love and resilience. Through The Musical Stoic podcast, I delve into themes of love and life, discussing how music, both mine and that of others, serves as a powerful tool for reflection and growth.
Join me on this journey as I continue to create, share, and celebrate the transformative power of music.
“I feel every step. Love, patience, anger, forgiveness, new beginnings, hope, acceptance but always love. This is an amazing album of life.”
-Taylor Swift (just kidding it was my mom)
