A few weeks before Christmas 2022, I woke up at 4am (the owl hours), and the HOOT HOOT lyrics poured out of me as a poem onto notebook, as a gift to my almost born future niece. And then just like that, I went back to sleep. Then while visiting my childhood home, in my childhood bedroom, on the night of Christmas Eve I wrote and recorded the guitars and vocals with a mobile recording setup. I woke up Christmas morning and recorded the trumpets and mixed it. My niece’s parents have played it for her every night since she was born to help her go to sleep. She loves it.

Now two years later in 2024, after it’s thoroughly been held as her unique gift, I want to share it with every other parent and child who will enjoy it.

HOOT HOOT is a magical story about an owl guiding a listener to sleep well and enjoy beautiful dreams. The song offers a meditation on the beauty of natural cycles between night (owl) and day (robin).
