He's the Boy is an excerpt from Matthew Reico's 2022 opera "The Puppy Episode." This opera follows the impact of Ellen DeGeneres infamous coming out had on three queer characters. Gil is in love with his best friend Clay. He want's to know if Clay could be interested in him, so he decides to invite him over to watch the episode to see how he reacts to someone being openly gay.

THE tenor classic, my back pocket aria. This bel canto staple is a favourite in my repertoire. Nermorino is a true romantic; finding love in Adina's vulnerability is something I think we all can hope for. Our tears are uniquely capable of disolving us into our true selves.

FLY AWAY is about sitting with your pain and honouring your feelings. You can't snap your fingers... but with the right intention you can fly away someday soon. Also, I rap in this one ;)

LESSONS is my debut EP. It explores the lessons I learned in the early days of my self-discovery. This music makes you, relax, tune out the world and reflect. Cypress Tree is a featured single in this EP.

Cypress Tree is about best friendship. I wrote it after a summer weekend at Victoria Beach where I felt true friendship for the first time. It reminds me of the great memories I have with loved ones and I hope it does for you too!

What A Time is about moving on and learning to let go. It reminds us that life is always happier if you feel those feelings! This song is the sunshine of summer turning into fall and always makes me smile and reminds me that you can ALWAYS count on yourself.
