about

During Covid-19, a few musicians in Seattle tracked a song entirely separate from one another. Guitarist Kenny Lu would draft a beautiful guitar line, (verse) and send to songwriter Jesse McDaniel. They sped it up, revised some of the progressions, and it would later become "Venus."Throughout the quarantine, brother figure. would end up writing a few more prompting the release of "tokyo piano." The album name holds special significance to songwriter Jesse McDaniel as his parents gave him the piano he originally had from his high school days in Tokyo. For over a decade he hadn't touched the instrument. Thinking it would be used primarily for his daughter, he would never believe that it would create songs again.
