It’s with great pleasure to announce my 3rd album Bruxism.

Early in my college days I developed a wild fascination with lucid dreaming after a dream led me to a conversation of closure with a loved one who had passed - both of us aware I was dreaming. Shortly after this dream I was spending more time researching and practicing this phenomenon almost more than any of my other studies at the time. So much to the point that I was lucid dreaming every single night for multiple months.

Eventually this led to “false awakenings” meaning you believe you’re awake, going about your day as usual, interacting with those around you, only to wake up in your bed right where you began. One day in particular I experienced seven false awakenings which led me to end the practice entirely. I was starting to question what was real and what was not each morning.

Bruxism is defined as the habit of unconsciously grinding or clenching your teeth, typically during sleep. Something I’ve struggled with as early as I can remember.

This album is a reflection on reality versus what is simply a dream by my own design.
