Hello everyone,

I suppose a lot of things have taken place the last...9 years? Wow, time really does fly. I'll not try to summarize everything that has happened in the last decade; I'm sure you're more interested in where I'm going musically anyway.

So, early 2024 I finally got COVID. Amongst other serious things, I lost my voice for almost a month. It was a scary time for me. Despite having not done very much vocally before, it had always been my dream to sing and do voice acting. I thought that dream had, like so many others before it, finally fallen into the realm of impossibility. However, I not only recovered my voice, but I had a Tom Jones moment that catapulted me beyond my wildest dreams. I can now sing in a higher register than ever before.

While I'm still trying to learn how to use my voice, to have gone so long without the hope of ever singing like I wanted to, it's been like suddenly finding a superpower to be able to hit higher notes and sing with power I never dreamed possible. I'm stoked beyond words to begin learning how to use my voice for bigger and better projects; I have a lot of lost time to make up for.

In terms of music, while I'm still learning how to use my voice, the things I post will be less polished and more experimental, pushing me to take higher and higher risks and forcing me to improve. I do feel sad at times that I didn't have this voice 10 years ago (or 20, for that matter), but I'm thankful and it's better late than never. I feel so infantile and vulnerable during this time that it's really amazing to me from an existential point of view. Despite learning stage performance (solo and band) for almost twenty years, I feel completely exposed with my underdeveloped, exciting voice.

I do hope these years have been gentle to you, my friends. I am glad to be some small part of your journeys once again.

Sincerely,
Nev
