“I started writing under my birth name, but decided I wanted to have something more meaningful to me.

Thanks google. I still really like this idea about giving each emotion a moment to glow. Music is how I process my feeling and giving those feelings sometimetositwithmecanfeelveryhealing.”

“I divorced my ex in 2020 after he chose drugs over our relationship and figured that was it for me (especially after dating for a bit), and figured nothing is gonna come along and low and behold my partner walked into my life. When this song is released on June 6th I'll havequitmyjobandpackedupmystuff.

June 6th marks the day that I leave my current home and travel across the US with my partner and start a new life. I've been stuck in jobs I don't like and just kind of treading water, so when we talked about this possibilityIsaidyes...afteralotofdebating.Haha.”

He adds: “Honestly I had given up on love. I randomly met my partner through a friend who invited me to go to lunch with a traveling nurse that had a contract in the area. My friend had a facebook group for LGBTQ people to meet up and hike. We had an instant connectionandendeduphangingoutmore.

Because he is from Michigan, his time was limited and wehadtomakeadecisionifwewantedtoevenpursue each other. But both of us felt so strongly about each other we decided let's just do it and if we get heart broken, than that is how it was meant to be, but at least we wouldn't be wondering what COULD have happened.Fortunatelyitallworkedout.”

When asked what he hoped his fans would get out of his music, LEUER answered eloquently::

“I'm hoping people feel the anticipation and fear of giving your heart away to someone when the find love as well as the feeling of relief and excitement when both of you fall head over heals in love with each other.”

I've lived life on the safe side. Always making the "sensible" decision, but life isn't made to be sensible. But you can always move.

You can always quit a job. If something feels right, take the risk. I'm not saying quit your job tomorrow, but go do what makes you happy. If you aren't happy, it's okay to change and do something different. It's your life.

Don't let the fear of judgement from others stop you from doing what you want even if that judgment is from your family or friends. Go be happy.”
