Thanks to Pop Punkers on the FAB review of my song "Annunciation"! "Annunciation" is a piece that makes you feel fearless, awakens a desire for peace..." "[A] catchy melody, a vibrant sound, electrifying chords, light drum rolls, and a captivating voice." poppunkers.com.mx/2026/09/ma…

"Impeccable indie rock." Medium's "On the radar" (2nd item) says my music is for fans of the Pixies, Joan Jett, and The Replacements.
THAT made my day. :-)
Thank you so much to @Medium for the fab review! And to @HyghTension/@virginmusic!

TIme for my monthly blog! This time it's about first crushes. I almost named him, because it's been SO LONG since high school (at least five years), but I'm probably taking that secret to the grave. :-)
