Double It - A Song For Distance
“Double It” was written during a desperate time, alone in my room, separated from my friends and s.o. Wanting to curl up on the floor until morning, I forced myself to open my laptop and start producing. From that lonely space emerged collaboration and a space to share my art. I am so grateful for the unexpected joys life has waiting after each dark day. Working together with local animator Jane Winters, iconic images of Narragansett Bay are brought to life through the lens of my song "Double It". The beauty of these places has only grown since being home due to COVID and falling in love with someone who expanded my world across the bay.
