Hint of Sobriety — a short-form album in progress
Caught Between Strings.
26, New York-based singer-songwriter.
Why Hint of Sobriety? Because every song on the album was written, recorded, and sung mostly sober.
Featured finished track
ONTHERUN
A lyric-driven track about being juvenile and running away with a partner from the police — drinking and using, a bad influence but a fun time, and realizing that partner wants to grow up.

From first draft to final mix
Every song travels the same five steps: lyrics and melody first, then a recorded reference, then studio vocals, then production built around the vocal, then the mix and master. Pick a song to see where it is on the road.
The record
About Hint of Sobriety
What it’s about
A short-form album about alcohol and substances, and about trying to stay sober while the relationships around that struggle pull in both directions.
The title is literal: the songs were written, recorded, and sung mostly sober, even as they circle drinking and substances.
ONTHERUN is finished. One Track Mind is recorded — its vocal is mixed and mastered, with a new instrumental in progress.
How the songs get made
- Lyrics and melody first, structure and arrangement handled in-house.
- Vocals cut in studio sessions.
- Production built around the vocal, working remotely with producers on fresh instrumentals — no full band.
- Mix and master, then out into the world.
The person
About me
Caught Between Strings
I believe songwriting is something you master through constant learning. I have been writing songs for 9 years now. Some days I am stuck in a rut, and other days I am writing a whole chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus easily. Other days can be hell.
Equipment I use: I record on a TLM 103 and a U87 through an Apollo Twin interface, use FL Studio for basic arrangement, then switch to Pro Tools for anything finalized.
