“The value of solitude, even outside these testing times of quarantine, are what pushed me to bring ‘Escondida’ out of hiding. I’ve always leaned on the company of others to fill a void or distract myself, but it wasn’t until these last two years and the start of my project that I felt connected to being alone, even if with my thoughts, regrets, memories both good and bad. ‘Escondida’ is my love song to the haven I’ve found in mentally and emotionally being alone.”
