A beautiful bit of chemistry meddling that had befriended us hundreds of times along the way.“Once we found that slip stream of sound and vision, we just kept mining.

In his experience, the most important thing about a song is how audiences respond to it and whether they can dance to it.

His ascent from the streets of Florida to sold-out shows with enraptured audiences is unlikely, and no one's more aware of that than Wave himself, a feeling he explores in his new song "Stone Rolling." Over a morose beat driven by a gentle guitar melody, Wave writes from a place where his dreams of traveling the world have been fulfilled.
