As I sit here writing in a quiet public place, sitting and talking with a total stranger I’m easily attracted to, I am reminded of my promise: I am resolved to start this New Year fresh, and take up, once again, the vow that I made to myself a very long time ago, and broke, unwisely. This vow was to completely give up monogamy. 

Going to Spain will be my very first trip to Europe. Please come on out to support me in raising funds to help make this a memorable and fruitful experience. A lot of my music is influenced by the places and people I experience in my life, and I'm very excited to be able to incorporate the rich culture of Spain into my creative repertoire.
