It's great to meet you and thank you for taking the time to ask these questions. My girlfriend played a massive part in my recovery process. However, the defining moment, when dark turned to light, was the day I woke up and began to write and record my way out of that place of pain and isolation.

Thanks, Who Ya Dyin' For is a reflection of a life taken for granted no more.
We’re so captivated by your new single and music video for “Who Ya Dyin’ For”! Can you tell us what this song truly means to you?

The music video for “Who Ya Dyin’ For” is intense and seems extremely metaphorical! Can you tell us about the concept you were trying to capture during the filming process?
