About the Avaratia EP:
Avaratia is the latin term for greed. I look back on this time of my life and I feel ashamed for the level of greed I had. I didnt realize I had so much, I had creative people around me, I had effortless love that transmuted into effortless art, and everyday I was surrounded by a place that felt the same way. Yet for some reason I was always looking for more, a new home, a bigger stage, bigger achievements, more money than I needed. Being greedy stopped me from enjoying so many moments. This album is an homage to fastforwarding so much that I ended up in a city I didnt know with a job I didnt want, with an appetite that needed to be humbled.
