“Hey World wasn’t an easy album to put together. It was my first time trying to work with the team of incredible collaborators and songwriters while we were all in different places and unable to go our traditional route of creating. There were a lot of challenges but I’m proud of this album and incredibly honored that the fans continue to support me and my music. Thank you all!”
