Overview
“I remember being in the audience at a local concert, racking my brain about what to call the music project that I wanted to start. The funny thing is that I don’t think I had anything written at that point, but out of nowhere, the words, ‘sail north’ popped into my head. I just wanted to make music that I enjoyed. If you had told me then that I would be approaching the 100K follower mark on TikTok in less than two months, I would have said you were crazy … yet here we are. Something I created has resonated with you. Something about the music I’m creating is worth your valuable time and attention and for that, I am truly humbled and grateful. Thank you for your ears. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your support.” — the captain
