Evanescence, Paramore vibe.
Tell us about your new single “Lies Are Your Truth?”
It’s about being manipulated by someone in a way that it makes you questions yourself.When I was writing this song it reminded me of the movie Fight Club, and like the movie the song can go two ways, your either being manipulated or manipulated yourself.
How was working with Grammy artist Jamie Jones and features guitarist, Jose Del Rio in the project?
OMG Jamie, is amazing and very nurturing, sharing his insights and advice about the music industry. The last time we worked together we were in different studios via computers due to the pandemic. This time being in the same place were able to feed off of each others energy and the lyrics just flowed. Jose and I worked together between his tour dates writing the actual music.
