About Me

Taking Pearl Harbour is music.

It is acoustic music.
It is honest music.
It is music I write in the dark.
It is music I record at 3 in the morning.
It is music that means something to me.
It is music that runs on coffee.
It is the feeling that life is opening out in front
of me and I'm scared to move an inch because
the slightest degree I move now could mean my
life will be in a completely different place in the future.
