The Story Behind the Album
In 2025, a fall doing laundry became a traumatic brain injury. Seizures. The emergency room. Then weeks in a bed and months of relearning how to walk, read, and trust his own mind again.
For a while he couldn't look at a screen, couldn't get up too fast, couldn't recognize himself. The music that had always been there went quiet — and the scariest part wasn't the injury. It was the silence, and the fear that it might be permanent.
TRAUMATICA is what came out of that silence. Not a comeback album, not a tidy recovery story — ten songs moving through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. What it actually feels like to fall apart and keep moving anyway. Written, recorded, and released 100% independently.
He called the recovery “the long pause.” This is the record of it — out now, in full.
