Good morning
My sweet mom. Throwback to a little more behind her story that inspired the new song. #HellTogether Source: @mormstories
The wind chimes started going and for some reason it got me singing this song 🤷🏻♂️ 🙂 #thatsthewayitis @celinedion
“Hell Together” Music Video 🤝🏼 Out Now I am very excited to share this video with all of you. This is a really special song for me. It was inspired by a very special person in my life. My mom. I was touched by her love that she showed to me as her son. Even though she didn’t understand my reasons for the life transitions I had of coming out and leaving our church at first, her willingness to understand the struggles of coming out as a queer person in the midst of a conservative community is not an easy one and I was inspired by her and other moms who faced a fear of leaving all they knew to show love and courage for their kids. I don’t think there’s greater love than that.

Yeah I guess it is wild 😂 but I don’t think in the way people think necessarily either. Not everyone may understand what the reason for the heavy beat and the visuals and lights is for at edm fests or raves. I know most of my audience I’ve built over the years came from when I was very reserved and conservative myself. So that’s why I I like to explain what I do. It’s not to apologize for who I am but sometimes it is a bit odd to post new experiences I’m having and where I’m at now when it’s very different from previous years and what people relate to me for before. It’s not what a lot of my audience expects out of me. I like to show a bit of perspective of why I choose to do what I do or how I am expressing myself now. So I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. You’re welcome to the journey to follow along but you’re also welcome to choose not to and that’s ok. We like to surround ourselves with what we relate to and I know what I do isn’t as relatable to many of you as before vs more relatable for others of you now following me. Regardless I hope each and everyone of you can live your best life and find what makes you feel happy, understood, accepted and true to you. I’m enjoying my process and journey of that myself. 🫶🏼

My mom came to my show tonight at the @egyptiantheatrepc in Park City, UT and I brought her up on stage with me when I sang my song Hell Together, which was a song inspired by the words she said to me after some hard life changes after coming out and choosing to step away from my faith which wasn’t an easy decision. it was hard not to cry singing it for both of us but what a special moment. 😭🥹 A special thanks to @melissad309 for capturing this moment and sending it!
In honor of Mother’s Day today, I thought it’d be cool to share an exclusive outtake of an INCREDIBLE contemporary dance that my friend @livcav did specifically for my new music video “Hell Together”. I chose Olivia to symbolize the love and angelic presence in the video that represents what I felt from my mom, and thought she did it perfectly. Not only was it a tribute to the love shared between a mother and her child, which is what my new single is about, but her choreography and freestyle movement was inspired by the conflict between beliefs or religion you grew up with, and authenticity. I hope you all enjoy this special version of the video and that you’re enjoying this Mother’s Day! 🫶🏼 Check out the full video on my YouTube channel.
