last week i ran about 50km. which is kind of insane cause i don’t really feel like i’ve been running particularly more than i usually do. but the numbers on my Garmin watch don’t lie. i guess it’s further proof that…

i missed posting last week. i’m sorry. i’ve been busy! (in a good way.) last weekend in vancouver we attempted the trilogy of beach pop ups. year 3, bigger and better than ever before. unfortunately, the location got shut down before we even started. so…

I’m romantic for an era with less data. An era with records and CD’s where there was no daily play count, but rather just an update from the team every few months that the new song was “doing well!” I actively still try to…

there is no finish line. there is no done. i hate when people say “when did u feel like you made it?” i think that’s bad semantics. the concept of “making it” implies a finish line. that’s a bad goal when…

i would classify myself as a competitive person. i think at times this has been to my detriment, but ultimately it has served me pretty well. i want to improve and do better. as i’ve gotten older though, i’ve learned it’s a lot more valuable to…

i hesitate to write this post because i don’t fully have the thoughts worked out yet, but i want to write it to work through it. there’s this strange disconnect that i feel lately…

what’s the artists’ job? to defy expectations i think. hacky art is predictable, the good shit feels like “this isn’t quite what i expected.” it’s always good to remember when working on your shit that you gotta subvert the expectations rather than…

ah yes, let’s wait to get signed and then the label will tell us what to do? maybe this logic works in a movie, but unfortunately…

Saturday was the final show of my A BLUR tour in my hometown of Vancouver. It was at the Commodore, and it sold out 5 months in advance. I always told myself if that ever happened, having a big show sell out in advance, that I’d…

we are entering the final week of my A BLUR tour…

my new song dancing in a dream with rêve is officially out. i wanted to talk a bit about the music video, how we made it, how i took a bigger directorial roll, and why it was so…

my new song with Rêve is out this friday. we wrote it together in LA, and filmed a video in Whistler. this song has been extremely creatively fulfilling as i’ve taken a…

the key to any of this shit is becoming a fucking finisher. no one cares about the thing you’re “working on.” we all have a “great song” inside us, if ONLY we sat down and sketched it out, it would all come together so easily, right? everyone has…

a bit of progress this past weekend as i finally take the plunge and play some unreleased songs i’ve been terrified to play. i was unsure if i was emotionally ready to deal with how much work may still need to be done on them. against all odds, they…

the nature of this industry is a rollercoaster, predictability is not really a thing. sometimes there’s months of nothing happening and then a day or two where everything happens. this was one of those weekends where…
