Impossible List

Current Focus:

Right now my main focus is on my work projects, which I know will keep me busy well into next year. I am also allocating time to learning piano and writing music at the moment as well.

I am always interested and open to new ventures, and if you have an idea for a collaboration of any sort, I would love to hear about it. Feel free to contact me here.
