About

“Holy hasn’t been released yet?” - this was the reaction I got after I shared the release date with my community. It’s one of my most played songs, I love making the audience sing along in the bridge! But somehow it hadn’t found its place in my release schedule - it’s quite busy to be fair, this is the 16th song I release in 2025! 

After all of these releases, most of which are collaborations, “Holy” feels like the perfect song to end the year on. I think the way it has grown since I’ve written it makes it a beautiful expression of where I currently am in my artistic journey. Holy was actually born not that long after I finished writing "Ocean Inside Of Me". After processing these songs written during my struggle with depression I finally had space to reflect and write songs from a better place, and in a way that allowed me to have an even more honest look at that chapter in my life. 

One of the hardest things to put into words for me is how depression after a while becomes the norm, the comfort zone in a strange way. So much of my identity was focused on fighting it that the fight became a big part of how I perceived myself, sometimes even glorifying it to justify the path I’m on. That is what this song is about "I've made suffering holy" - I let my life revolve around it, I let it define me. But the song also acknowledges that it's not a sustainable way to live and that there's nothing sacred about suffering - "I'm not holy" is the last line. I’m just human and I can embrace light again. 

Once again I got to work with my wonderful producer Dominic Romano to bring this song to life, sending files back and forth and bringing in my dad to play some extra guitars and my wonderful friend Thomas LaVine to record the drums.
