I&#8217;m not sure if it was his love of blackjack or because it&#8217;s kind of my initials, but nonetheless, it just stuck. It makes me think of the person that I am, truly, to my core, behind closed doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been about two and a half years since my debut record was released. So many incredible, bucket-list things filled the days after with the best people I could ever imagine getting to share them with. But life has a funny way of spitting rain when you think it&#8217;s gonna be a sunny day. I swear, one thing hit after another. I lost some of the most important people in my life, and health issues in my family piled up left and right. Love came, and love went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This music is derived from those real situations. It&#8217;s brutal honesty. It&#8217;s a story in chronological order. And it&#8217;s a collection of songs welcoming you to the next chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is&nbsp;<em>ace<\/em>.
