RECENT RELEASES:
“WILDERNESS”
ALBUM: RELEASED 12/10/21
“Wilderness” explores the deep and desperate times that we’ve all endured throwout the past couple years. Relationships strained, friendships tested, jobs lost & gained… a strange and wild time for everyone, everywhere. It’s as if we’re all living in our own little wilderness – searching for love, connection, and real life. Bathing in the unknown, taking chances, and challenging each other’s perspectives. This album explores these themes while staying true to Dustin’s classic vibe and writing style.
“YOUNG LOVE”
SINGLE: RELEASED 8/20/21
“Young Love” reflects on the first feelings of love, the first time you feel butterflies for someone, and the imagery that can surround these feelings in your adolescence. Growing up in Central CA, many of those initial feelings of love & lust can bring up scenes… certain smells, certain friends, certain troubles we got ourselves into. The song is smooth with a strong hook and a dynamic build. This will be the 2nd single from Dustin’s upcoming full-length album and will feature a lovely music video.
“SOUL ON FIRE”
SINGLE: RELEASED 7/23/21
“Soul on Fire” is an upbeat, energetic rock/pop song perfect for summer. It’s a passionate (and relatable) song about the highs & lows of love featuring a driving bass line and beat that will keep you dancing through the summer. This is the first single from Dustin’s upcoming album (due early Sept. 2021) and will feature a stunning music video to accompany the release.
“SOLDIER”
SINGLE: RELEASED 3/19/21
Dustin follows up his debut solo album, “Figurine” (Oct 2020) and his popular single, “Tiny Plastic Promise Ring” (Dec 2020) with another super catchy single entitled, “Soldier” – a tune that feels a bit like the Gorillaz & Foster the People hanging at some sort of Neverending Story themed school dance party. With this single, Dustin plans to reach a wider audience with its smooth groove, silky vocals, and passionate yet desperate lyrics of love.
“TINY PLASTIC PROMISE RING”
SINGLE: RELEASED 12/18/20
Dustin followed up the release of “Figurine” with a catchy single entitled, “Tiny Plastic Promise Ring” on December 18, 2020. It’s a song of hope and everlasting love during the crazy times we live in… a love story about a real-life plastic skull ring shared between two lovers.
“FIGURINE”
ALBUM: RELEASED 10/23/20
Dustin released his debut full-length solo album, “Figurine” on October 23, 2020, a beautifully uplifting collection of songs written during quarantine while maximizing time with his family and his music.

Yes! What a stellar tune. And I love the memories conjured in the lyric. I can see your California.

Missing the no problems and no worries! Song sounds great, nicely done. Looking forward to the full release!
I love love the vibe of this song and the message of loging for a simpler time. Groovy but definitely has a tinge of heartbreaking nostalgia in there. Way to go DT!
