The Story Behind "Envy"

I wrote Envy the night of Thanksgiving.

It was one of those moments when I felt completely lost, with no direction and no real sense of what I was supposed to be doing. I was just stuck. It was heavy.

And then I started reflecting.

Despite how I felt at that moment, I’ve been extremely blessed to build the kind of career I have, to work with so many companies, and to actually make an impact in such a short amount of time.

Thinking about that, and all the things I’ve been graciously spared from hit me.

And I just said to myself: "I should be thankful."

That one phrase broke me.

It sent me spiraling through the last 8 years in tech, the 20 years I’ve put into music, and all the ups and downs that have come with trying to make this dream real.

I am so thankful.

Thankful for my life.

For the good things, the bad things, and even the heartbreaks I never thought I'd come back from.

I hope "Envy" hits you the way it hit me when I wrote it and produced it all within 24 hours. It poured out of me.
