"Phrenology" is the quintessential "dream" album I've been wanting to make for years now. My first instrumental album, "Juice," released in 2007, was more of an experiment with different styles of music. It was also the first time I tried the "K.I.S.S." philosophy to write music. For years, my music was very technical; then, one day, I took a friend's advice by stripping down all the complexities of my music and just make something that's "fundamentally sound." (as he put it)

Although I still live by the "K.I.S.S." idea today, it was time to make an album with a bigger sound that packs an even bigger punch. I absolutely loved making this new album, and hopefully all the listeners out there appreciate it just as much!

Enjoy the music!
