Origin of Times
“This project started it all for me, igniting my passion for music and marking the beginning of my journey. The inception of this project dates back to 2011, when I embarked on a creative endeavor that would consume my energy and efforts for the next three years. Collaborating with two incredibly talented producers, Matthew Nelson and Sina Mobasser, allowed me to explore new heights and push the boundaries of my artistry. Despite facing numerous setbacks stemming from unfavorable label deals and mismanagement, I remained unwavering in my dedication to this project.
After tirelessly pouring my heart and soul into every song, I attempted to release it on a couple of occasions, only to be met with disappointment. Frustration led me to shelve the project, carefully placing it within my Danjul vault, where it remained hidden from the world for years. However, now that we find ourselves in the vibrant year of 2023, I have made the decision to share ‘Origin of Times’ with you all. Through the platform of SoundCloud, I present to you my artistic creation, born out of love and perseverance.
Each and every song on this album was meticulously crafted by yours truly, providing a glimpse into my innermost thoughts and emotions. The journey I embarked upon during the creation of ‘Origin of Times’ is one that will forever be etched in my memory. It has been a transformative experience, serving as a means of escape and catharsis amidst the chaos of the world. My sincerest hope is that this body of work offers you the same respite and solace that it provided me.
So without further ado, I humbly present to you ‘Origin of Times’. May this musical odyssey transport you to a realm where worries fade, dreams flourish, and the power of music abounds. Enjoy the melodic tapestry that I have carefully woven, and allow yourself to succumb to the enchanting allure of this album. Let the melodies caress your soul and the lyrics resonate deep within your being. Welcome to the immersive world of ‘Origin of Times’, a labor of love that is now yours to indulge in.”
