This EP was made as the result of the Kickstarter campaign I ran in 2017, along with a companion EP of cover songs. Each track was made with some direction from the individual who commissioned it, which made it a unique experience to write. I didn't just write a song and tack the person's name at the end--these songs truly wouldn't have existed without each individual's input, which ended up taking me outside of my normal writing styles.
