about

I moved to Seattle in the fall of 2016 to attend Cornish College of the Arts. Prior to this I had been living in Maine all my life. After feeling rather disillusioned with the college experience I called it quits and moved back to Maine. This was a very dark period of my life, the sound of my own voice would send me into fits of anxiety. I eventually decided I could no longer make music and figured I'd just save some money up in Maine. That all changed when my good friend Mike mentioned he needed to find a new roommate for his apartment in Seattle. Next thing I knew I was packing my bags and getting on a plane to Seattle. I began working at a restaurant with Mike just getting by, enjoying what the city had to offer. I slowly started to make music again out of sheer boredom, but after much encouragement from Mike I decided I'd put out an album. Well a year and ten months later here it is. To whomever is reading this I encourage you to follow your dreams, Thanks Mom and Dad for telling me to do the same.

-Francis
