Why newsletter-first?
In 2021, I started releasing music directly to subscribers before streaming platforms—a deliberate alternative to algorithm-dependent distribution. This model prioritizes artist-listener relationships over playlist placements, proving that musicians can build sustainable careers through genuine audience connection rather than depending on platforms that treat art as background noise.
The newsletter-first approach means you get music when it's fresh and intentional, not when an algorithm decides to surface it. Some songs eventually reach streaming platforms. Others remain exclusive to this community. Either way, subscribers always hear them first.
This direct connection has grown to 8,000+ subscribers who have downloaded my music 183,000+ times, achieved 1M+ Spotify streams, been featured in The Good Trade's “99+ Best Email Newsletters,” and created a sustainable foundation for everything I do as a composer.
What a newsletter looks like.
Each monthly release includes a new instrumental composition paired with nature photography and complementary elements like poetry or personal reflections.
The music is organized into thematic volumes— Meditations, Explorations, and most recently, Desert Songs. Recent song titles include “weathering”, “night sketch”, “a bright and shining place”, and “shadow of a cloud.”
Each piece is designed to calm, focus, and restore.
What subscribers say.
-
"The ultimate invitation into stillness."
-
"The music is beautiful. It's enlivened by the comments about what inspired it, by the picture, and by the poem... it struck me right in the heart."
-
"Your music calms me and helps with my anxiety. I often put it on while doing tasks that would otherwise stress me out, but instead, I feel uplifted and simultaneously grounded."
