So I was sitting in my aisle seat on my way back from my buddy’s bachelor party (you can imagine my state…), and thanks to “The Office” replays above my head, unsuccessfully attempting to read.
Upon landing, I heard a voice to my right say, “Excuse me, are you Tristan?”
Immediately, I perked up. Confidence rushed to the surface. Morale bloomed with vitality. Finally! A fan who doesn’t share my last name! In fact, I don’t even know this person. My music is spreading far and wide, reaching the masses. Even the children of the masses! It will be filed in the Library of Congress, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, played at every Presidential Inauguration for the next twenty years!
“You went to Sanderson High School, right?”
Alright, so maybe scratch the Hall of Fame…

Hope all is right with everyone. It’s been a while since the last entry, which is thanks to my submergence into this next album (due in the Winter.) And how’s it going? What’s it sound like? What’s it even CALLED?
I don’t know if you got a chance to read this article. It’s a review of mine written by a friend who works at MTV. Now, Purple has received a lot (seriously, a lot) of reviews. I’m very proud of what a lot of people have written about my work. It’s nice to know that there are folks out there who like the music. But it’s even more rewarding to hear knowledgeable opinions on my heart and soul. My friend at MTV is one of those ‘knowledgeable opinions.’
I read a lot about how much ‘potential’ I have. Thank you. I also read a lot of words that looked like ‘Anthony Kiedis,’ or ‘Jeff Buckley.’ I’ve said this before (even in interviews, I think), I take being compared to those two guys as a great compliment. But my friend wrote particularly one sentence that really resonated…
“Tristan hasn’t mastered Tristan yet.”
So I can’t tell you what it’s going to be called yet. I can’t tell you who will produce it. I can’t even tell you when it will be finished.
But I can tell you what it sounds like…
Me
Please wait ...
