The Story Behind Album's Creation/Inspiration

"Boots, Spurs and Secrets" was born out of pure shock and inspiration. One night, I was scrolling through YouTube when I stumbled across Dixon Dallas. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, not just the music, but the unapologetic way he talked about sex, and more importantly, gay sex. It wasn’t just bold—it was groundbreaking. I was impressed that someone was willing to be that open, and it got me thinking… why shouldn’t I do the same?

That night, I made the decision to create an album that pushed boundaries, one that was meant to shock people and make them think. "Boots, Spurs and Secrets" is, without a doubt, my most explicit collection of songs, but it was never about being vulgar for the sake of it. It was about walking that fine line between modesty and raw, unfiltered expression. It’s sexy, bold, and at times, downright scandalous—but also carries a deeper message. This album is about showing that "love is love" and that there’s no reason to be held hostage by your feelings, and that something so many people keep secret should instead be celebrated. Love, passion, and desire are meant to be embraced, not hidden and "Boots, Spurs and Secrets" is my way of expressing that joy, unapologetically.

Beyond just pushing boundaries, some of the songs on this album serve as homages to my past. For instance, "Too Far, Too Fast "is a deeply personal track about a night when a male friend and I got way too drunk, and things went further than they should have. What happened that night ultimately destroyed our friendship, and the song reflects on that moment and how sometimes, in the heat of the moment, emotions and actions can spiral out of control in ways we never intended. This album isn’t just about sex and passion; it’s about the complexities of desire, the highs and lows of intimacy, and the reality of human connection, both the beautiful and the messy.
