Send us a text "Milwaukee" captures the feeling of drifting into a place and, before you know it, realizing you’ve put down roots. When I first came here, I wasn’t sure I was moving—I just kept coming back. And one night, after a week of going out, after a Father John Misty show, I finally stayed in. It felt strange, even guilty, to sit still. That moment inspired the song’s refrain: I’m not out tonight. It became more than just a song about one night—it was about settling into Milwaukee, about realizing this place had become home. By the end of the song, there’s that lingering thought: I could be back in London, I could be back in England... but I’m here. And there’s something real in that. It’s a song I still love playing because it reminds me of how I got here. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

Send us a text "Ice" captures the emotional walls we put up after heartbreak. After leaving a long-term relationship, I found myself hesitant to trust, afraid of being hurt again—especially by those who once swore they wouldn’t. So, I’d rather pull away, stay independent, and keep my guard up than risk vulnerability. The title plays on "Ice, ice, baby," but it also reflects the paradox of emotional self-preservation: Am I protecting myself, or am I freezing myself out? Because ice can burn, too—and loneliness, like the cold, can start to hurt if you let it linger too long. The song wrestles with that tension, questioning whether shutting people out is truly the safest choice or just another way of getting hurt. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…
Send us a text "Beauty" came to me during a time of deep meditation, following an ego death—a moment when everything fell away, leaving me face to face with the parts of myself I didn’t want to see. The only way through was meditation, and in one of these sessions, I had an encounter with source, a feminine, radiant presence that filled me with warmth and comfort. She told me, "You are beauty. You were made this way. This world is yours—live in it, play in it, experience it without shame or judgment." That moment of peace and acceptance inspired the song, with guitar parts influenced by "White Horse" by Taylor Swift. Even now, when I perform "Beauty" , it grounds me and reminds me of that healing presence. My hope is that it brings the same peace to anyone who listens.

Send us a text "Good At Being Alone" is a song about the balance between being social and needing solitude. As an introvert, I love spending time with friends and family, going out, and meeting new people—but I also need space to recharge. It's not about isolation; it's about finding peace in being alone. One of my favorite lines in the song is, "I'm just a mammal in the sea, I need to surface just to breathe." That’s exactly how I feel about life—I dive into social experiences, but every so often, I need to step away, decompress, and create. That’s what this song is about: not loneliness, but the joy of solitude. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

Send us a text "Embozi" is a song born from a moment of deep uncertainty. I was losing my balance, losing myself, and struggling to find my direction again. Music, which had always been my anchor, felt like it was slipping away. I had this thought—maybe I’ll write one last song, one last album, and then I’m done. But then came a long drive to Nashville, a full week of songwriting ahead, and hours alone in the car with nothing but my own thoughts. No music, no distractions—just silence. And in that silence, I finally heard the voice that had always kept me steady—a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time. "Embozi" means talk or rumor in Uganda, and at that time, the noise of doubt and fear was deafening. But this song came from the moment when the real voice—the one that keeps me moving forward—cut through all of it. These are the words that voice said.
