Next show: New York City, Thu 3 Dec
An underground indie rock artist.
Story behind my new single, “Fatou”: When my daughter was very young, she had a wonderful little school friend named Fatou. I knew Fatou and her mother from birthday parties and school functions and her mother was the sweetest. One day in first grade, I picked my daughter up from school and she told me that Fatou moved to Senegal in Africa, with her aunt, because her mom died. I later found out it was cancer, but you never would have known she was sick based on meeting her. It weighed heavily on me for months, and as I thought about Fatou having to leave her life in New Jersey unexpectedly, I wrote this song. It took me a long time to finally record and release this one, but here it is. Fatou, if you’re out there somewhere, your mother’s spirit lives within you and I dedicate this to you. It is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and all other outlets right now, Please share if you enjoy!
