In my life, no matter what phase I might be going through, the things that inspire me usually stay the same. And by things, I mean the methods. In other words, I may grow in and out of styles or subjects, but how I find structure and grounding stays the same.
For me it's solitude, and unobserved 'musing.' It's hard for me to stay focused when there are outside distractions, but particularly when I want to find that kind of inspiration. Whether it's social media, school, work, friends, family, it doesn't matter--there is always a need for me to take a moment and remind myself where my perspective lies. I've grown to truly appreciate those moments more as I've gotten older.
If we aren't cultivating our perspectives, outside of external agendas, we can miss an imperative opportunity to bring our individuality forward. In art, and in anything, I think these moments are as essential as breathing.
Update: As a correction to the audio recording, our screening in the New Jersey Film Festival will take place on Sunday, September 8th.

Tizzy Wire Podcast – Ep 14 – Back From The Dead
It's been a wild month, and it's ironic that right before Halloween was my 13th episode.
It's interesting when your body just doesn't want to listen to your nagging commands. Ultimately, the flesh wins out, and you are powerless to stop against its demand for your submission.
That's how it has felt the last few weeks. Like my body was pinning me down, demanding that I stop everything, or I'd be locked in a choke hold. Well, I guess I didn't listen well enough.
The result was several weeks of cessation.
I stopped running, driving, cooking--every day normal things were not doable. So of course, Tizzy Wire suffered.
With all that change, it gave me a lot of time to reflect on the next phase for Tizzy Wire, and what I want this all to be. Some of that is still in flux in my mind, but I realized that the weekly schedule was killing me, and that I wasn't really putting my best into it. And being a stubborn person, I was unwilling to face that fact until my head was being pressed into the sand.
So the outcome is this: Tizzy Wire is on hold, as far as major updates in 2018. The holidays are going to eat my life for the next month or so, and overdoing it at this stage is not an option for me anymore.
However, TW is not over. I said a few weeks back that December was going to be a time for me to recoup and build out something more interesting for the new year, and I meant it.
So let's take this as an evolutionary phase before the sun rises on the horizon of a new year. There is more to come.
Tizzy Wire Podcast - Ep 13 - Influences and Vulnerability
I feel like the real moments of truth happen at points where we are most vulnerable. I think it's because those are the times where we really have to push ourselves to explore new territory and are more open to the elements.
In the past few days, I've spent some time looking back at the major influences in my life that have impacted my music. The question that I've been left with is 'when will I have a major moment like that again?' I think the answer to that lies somewhere in a true moment of vulnerability. And in order to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we need to have tremendous courage.

Tizzy Wire Podcast - Ep 12 - Tizzy Updates and Next Steps
It's another quiet week at Tizzy Wire, mostly because my voice has been out of commission. Trying to get that back online so I can move the discussion forward. We managed to save the interview with our next guest--so all we need to do is finish the conversation!
Mostly updates this week on music progress, movies, and future guests for the show.
More coming soon!
