Hi everyone!

My new single "Disembodied Mind" will be released on April 3rd. I am SO excited about this song. It’s about feeling at odds with the person in the mirror — something probably all of us can relate to in some way.

If you pre-save the single, you'll be the first to hear it when it drops and you'll also receive a limited edition sticker as a thank you!

Pre-saving is quick and free, and it improves my chances at getting the song placed on a Spotify editorial playlist.

And if you can't wait until April, the single is out today on Patreon! A lot of people have been asking me how to join — it’s super easy, costs as little as a pomegranate a month, and helps support me as an artist.

As a patron, you'll get behind-the-scenes video updates, perks like stickers and pins and handwritten notes from me, early access to tracks, and more. My patrons helped me decide which design to choose for the artwork for this single! You'll also be helping me create biggest album yet, set to release at the end of the year.

Finally, I want to share some writing news that I'm proud of. After four years of applying, I was named a 2023 Oregon Literary Fellow for my young adult novel-in-progress. It's been a long journey, and I'm grateful to Literary Arts for the recognition and resources that come with this award.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope to see you over on Patreon — and on TikTok, which has really been growing lately. As always, I love hearing from you, so feel free to write back.

Love,
Stephan
