This piece was written during time of change and transformation which I didn't choose or could expect. I’'ve titled this album "Between Hope and Despair" to encapsulate the spectrum of these two emotions, allowing me to delve into the very essence of creativity and explore the origins of my ideas. Through their exceptional musicianship, sensitivity, and maturity, my chosen collaborators have elevated this project, emphasizing the profound connection that music can foster in a world yearning for compassion and understanding. In essence, it's an exploration of the human experience set to a soundtrack that aims to resonate with a hungry world seeking solace.
