about

All proceeds from this pay-what-you-can download will be donated directly to Base Academy of Music, a non-profit music organization that makes starting to learn a musical instrument accessible and affordable for urban youth. The organization believes music education is a reason and a means to succeed and collaborates with local schools and community centers to offer both private lessons and afterschool group programs.

“Maria” was the last song written while I was still working in the headspace of our last album, A La Deriva. It is a rebuttal to “Lo Que Quiero,” which is written from a mother's perspective. “Maria” is a father’s reflection on his life and of his family.

A La Deriva was written about an economically depressed immigrant neighborhood. As I am writing this, we are in the middle the music camp we created as a service to the neighborhood that inspired songs on the album. One of our key collaborators on the camp is our friend Clint Velasquez, a gifted music educator with a huge heart for the community. He created a non-profit in Kansas City called Base Academy of Music (B.A.M.) in order to provide quality music education in the inner city at a fraction of the cost of what it would be elsewhere.
