Early this year, when I released “Snowrise”, I was approached by a high school friend I hadn’t spoken to in well over twenty-five years. I had followed his work early in social media days and thus knew him primarily as an excellent visual artist. He told me that he was starting a new podcast series for 2023 and was soliciting guests. He called it a podcast about artists and their inspiration. I was sold but at that point in time I was dealing very heavily with the health scares in my family that would eventually make their way onto my first album release. Fortunately, my buddy allowed me to table the appearance until Bluewing was released and that was a large part of the conversation, but we also went into Parkinson’s, The Simpsons, our shared love of hip-hop, and thus a new exciting partnership would develop between us.
