🔥 Lose That Fire – My Debut Album Is Finally Here
Well... this is the post I’ve dreamed of writing for a long time.
My debut album, Lose That Fire, officially drops May 3 — and I couldn’t be more grateful, nervous, and proud to finally share it with you.
This record is more than just seven songs. It’s a chapter of my life I wasn’t sure I’d ever write down, let alone sing out loud.
Finding the Fire Again
A few years ago, I made the decision to stop waiting and finally chase the dream I’d carried since I was a little girl.
Then came Lose That Fire — the first song I wrote after a long, quiet stretch. And suddenly, the flame sparked back. That one moment became the seed for this entire album.
Every track that followed helped me come back to myself — through heartbreak, healing, addiction, anger, forgiveness, and all the quiet in-between moments.
Where It All Comes From
I grew up in Oregon’s Willamette Valley — full of foggy mornings, winding rivers, and fields that stretch forever. Being a farm girl taught me patience, grit, and how to listen to the quiet things. That quiet is in the songs.
Rain No More and Salt Marsh Blues are soaked in that sense of place. Broke-ass Chords and Go Away came out raw and unfiltered. These aren’t just songs — they’re pieces of truth.
Made with Grit, Gratitude, and Good People
This album was recorded independently across Florida and Nashville, with no label, no filters — just a tight circle of friends and collaborators who brought these songs to life with heart.
Special thanks to:
The Loyal Souls — Andy Shinn, Neil Osbon, Monty Smith, Carmine paolillo, and Tommy Pelkowski — for the soul you poured into this music.
Local legends - Patrick Haynes, my producer and creative anchor throughout this process. Ben Thomas, whose work on mixing and mastering gave these songs their shape. Also thanks to Chris Eitel, Neil Osbon and Monty Smith for the incredible songwriting input.
The incredible musicians of Gilberto77 — Michael Hawthorne, Patrick Haynes, Tommy Pelkowski, Ernest Gonzolez and Andrew Christopher — for bringing depth, groove, and joy to the project.
