Personal reflections, global questions, and the will to move forward.

Elsewhere Now is a deeply personal and reflective album that traces the past five years of change—both in my own life and the wider world. Written largely during the pandemic, these ten compositions explore themes of loss, resilience, transformation, and hope. The project began as a collection of instrumental works, but evolved as I began writing lyrics for the first time, aiming to deepen the emotional impact and connection with the listener. This new vulnerability brought a fresh dimension to my music, highlighting the contrast between the vocal and instrumental tracks. Influenced by the eclectic mix of ’70s and ’80s rock, pop, and jazz I grew up with in New Zealand, the album blends genre and groove while staying rooted in my voice as a bassist and composer. Elsewhere Now poses the question: where are we as humanity—and how do we move forward?
