On July 8, 2022, my life shattered when my wife passed away from cancer in my arms after 24 years together. Overwhelmed by grief, I turned to music, buying a new guitar and writing songs for the first time in 15 years. Initially a form of expression, my music gradually evolved into a means of healing and conveying messages of love, self-acceptance, and kindness to others. My songs now serve as a testament to the power of music in processing loss and finding purpose in heartache.
