Sing to Me Instead

Polished piano-pop that trades theatrical scripts for raw, queer-coded vulnerability. A masterclass in the emotional power of a perfectly timed vocal belt.

It's like a Broadway star decided to tell you his actual secrets over a piano.

A high-stakes emotional journey that balances theatrical grandiosity with quiet, interior vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, percussive vocal shifts in 'Bad Habit' that mirror the frantic cycle of an addiction to a person.
The way 'Grow as We Go' strips back to nearly nothing, letting the slight crack in the vocal carry the weight of the plea.
The explosive, gospel-tinged bridge of 'Ease My Mind' where the orchestration swells to match the desperation of the lyrics.
