Anja and I met in November, 2020 and I was so inspired by our connection that songs just poured out of me like a running tap. It’s been so exciting to write love songs from an authentic place of deep love and inner transformation. I always felt at home in the LGBTQ+ community and it’s no wonder I felt that way because I have always been fluid but I didn’t know it truly until I met Anja.
