Only Let Your Higher Self Advise You: Discipline Single & Video

I just dropped a heavy-hitting, dark, creepy, yet encouraging and uplifting song “Discipline”. I wrote it to be a soundtrack for activities that require you to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. I’ve has had to push myself in many ways lately in my personal life.

I hope my song “Discipline” helps people to people feel confident and energized. I recently started going on runs while listening to music, which inspired me to write this song. I wanted to share my passion for reaching goals. I wanted to create something that I would want to listen to while running.

As a full-time independent artist, I’ve been called to bring self-discipline into my life. Focusing on health and fitness, finding the right recording studio, and recently becoming a father have all required a new level of dedication and focus. Staying disciplined has become a necessity.

Inspired by artists like Logic, J. Cole, Cordae, Nas, Kota the Friend, and others who put empowering messages into their rap.

I produced “Discipline” with keyboardist/composer Ian Evans in The Berkshires, MA, where I’m currently based with a new studio deep in the woods. Live mbira, live percussion, 808s, and programmed drums make up the instrumentation.

Recent highlights in my career include producing a song for KRS-One and a sync placement of his song “BIG FVCTS” in the tv show “All American”. “Discipline” is the first of many single releases on the way as I get back into action after my brief paternity leave. My son Fynn was born in June and it changed everything.
