She was promoting her debut album. I opened the link, hit play, and I heard the most beautiful voice. On a lark, I sent a private message to this talented stranger and she responded. We quickly built a quaint and intimate relationship around our love of music and life. <\/p>\n<p>Coincidently, we were both going through very serious personal challenges. Failed personal relationships, a cancer diagnosis, death of a close relatives, and pets. We stayed in touch weekly. As good fortune would have it, she moved to Los Angeles in early 2018. When Whitney and I finally met in person we immediately felt we\u2019d create beautiful and unique music. And that\u2019s what we\u2019ve achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney and I have just released an EP and are receiving an amazing response internationally. We are proud to be the feature cover story of The Aquarian a music publication currently on new-stands all over New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In addition, Australia\u2019s Happy Magazine is  running a 2 part feature on us.<\/p>\n<p>The release features the title track &#8220;Flowers By The Roadside&#8221; and a haunting, alt-electro version of the classic holiday song, \u201cSilent Night\u201d. Flowers By The Roadside is a Folktronica (Simon &#038; Garfunkel meets Goldfrapp) piece was co-written with Los Angeles based singer\/songwriter, Whitney Tai, composer\/guitarist, Michael Trainor and produced by #1 Billboard Producer, Tim Janssens. <\/p>\n<p>Our hope is that Flowers By The Roadside empowers and comforts the individual who feels they\u2019ve no voice in society. It\u2019s a gentle reminder that the individual is visible, beautiful, and capable of change in an increasingly challenging civilization, where people&#8217;s voice and basic human rights are disappearing. <\/p>\n<p>Both tracks are FCC CLEAN and registered with BMI.
