I’ve been waiting a long time to write this post.
After a year of planning, writing, editing, scrapping ideas, rewriting them again, and repeating that cycle way too many times, I finally get to say it:
I'm releasing my first vocal album, and it's called Peripheral Epiphany!
This album has been one of the biggest projects I’ve ever worked on. It pushed me creatively and technically in ways I wasn’t expecting when I first started.
This album is personal, probably the most personal thing I’ve made. There are things I’ve been wanting to express for a long time, and music felt like the only way that made sense. I don’t just want people to hear these songs; I want them to feel them.
Peripheral Epiphany explores the philosophical side of life... how we grow, what shapes us, and what we carry along the way. As the album progresses, each track digs a little deeper. It starts with the lighter moments: joy, comfort, a sense of belonging. Then it shifts into heartbreak, confusion, loss, and the heavier questions we all eventually face.
And then… there’s the final track...
It’s my favorite piece in the whole project, but I’m keeping that one under wraps for now. Some things are better experienced than explained!
One of the most exciting parts of making this record was getting to collaborate with multiple Fiverr vocalists. For the first time, they have voices, personality, and expression beyond my own. Hearing the tracks finally come together with vocals was one of those rare “wow, this is real now” moments! It was really exciting!
There are 11 tracks in total (you can check out the full tracklist in the image below), and each one plays a role in the bigger picture the album tries to tell. My hope is that, whether you listen casually or really sit with it, something in it connects with you, maybe musically, maybe emotionally, maybe unexpectedly.
So1 Here it is:
Peripheral Epiphany releases September 15th at 12:00 AM EST on Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud.
I can’t wait for you to hear it.
Thanks tuning in!
