My Compositions

Thirty songs. Three collections. One voice.

From childhood to the front lines, from war to rebuilding, from a couple to fatherhood. Three years of composing distilled into three collections. Each one tells a chapter of my journey. The songs are free to listen to. If they speak to you, share them.
