Stolen Moments, my debut album, is an album of love songs. Every love is special and magical and unique in its own way. We open ourselves up and become vulnerable. Do we regret that vulnerability or does it become part of who we are? Knowing how things turned out, should we have stolen those moments, or borrowed them instead? What would we tell our younger selves if we could?

Many of the songs on this album explore this realm of possibilities, of paths not taken in love and loss. A few key songs go beyond romantic love and explore a greater love of humanity; one that questions how we relate to each other in this age of online relationships, and how our individual decisions influence the frameworks of our lives. How can we treat each other with fairness, equality, and sanity? Government ­shutdowns, deportation and the splitting of families, or even the ever ­increasing death count in school shootings are all stolen moments as well. I wrote these songs as an outlet for deeper cultural inquiry, in the hope that we can work together to come up with sensible answers and bring about positive change. I look forward to sharing the entire album with you. Stay tuned!
