An International Rock & Roll Collaboration
2020 brought many challenges, and not being able to travel or see friends, forced me to spend more time in my Tokyo home working on music by myself. I started to realize that I have a community of talented musicians around the world and wanted to collaborate despite any lockdown.
​
My music needed words and melodies, and I wasn't going to let those lockdowns get in the way of creative progress. That's when I started reaching out to vocalists who could add a new energy to what I crafted.
​
They have creative freedom and there aren't any limitations, requests, or preconceived thoughts on how or what to sing. It's up to them, and the results have been far better than I could have imagined.
​
This is The Cross Process.
