This music is different than what you’ve heard from me up until now. LoFi music is a cool combination of hip hop and jazz, and of course I’m adding my horn playing. It’s really exciting for me to be collaborating with younger artists, and creating in a whole new genre.

These songs emerged during a long winter in Winnipeg Canada, while I supported my sweetheart as she went through treatment for ovarian cancer.

All nine of these songs have also been immersive mixed in Atmos as well by Todd Boston, and will be available everywhere immersive audio can be heard.
