My album from 2018, "It Began with a Bang" is finally set to re-release on May 29th! It was taken down 2 years ago for apparently being, "too good.." Just kidding. It was my best work at the time but wait till you hear what I'm working on now. Finally recording again after 5 years of silence. MSB is back!

Pre-save the album and follow me on Spotify to make sure you get the news when it drops on May 29th! and stay tuned for fresh tracks coming your way.

"It Began with a Bang" is now saved to your Spotify. Appreciate you being early on this one—can’t wait for you to hear it when it drops.”
