PROJECT HUMAN
COMING SOON
How it began ..
In 2019, I created a folder on my desktop and titled it 'Human'

In this time, I was still releasing songs and videos from a project titled E-Motion which I was really invested in as I wanted to begin to build my brand and sound again. every now and again I would find spare time to add to that secret folder titled 'Human' .. felt like I was having an affair ... who was I keeping the secret from?

During the terrifying period of COVID and the lockdowns, I remember going for walks and humming into my phones Voice Memos app melodies, lyrics, phrases, just interesting ideas with no rhyme or rhythm or end.

Nature
By the end of 2022 I had 40 songs written that had piled up from 2000 voice notes. Now I am wondering just how many times did I go for a walk, but in all honesty those walks were more of a soothing, recovery task that complimented the therapy I was having. I needed those bilateral movements (doctors order), also needed a change of environment, fresh oxygen, space to allow the mind's chatter and things that may come up randomly through the days to do so without masking or being busy.

Project Human
In 2023 I had 81 songs or so and I decided that I could not just keep on with this secret project so I decided to stop writing and instead start to make sense of what I had created and see if there were any themes, patterns, or running thread.
