The Story
Written alone in Nashville in 2023 after several planned co-writing sessions were cancelled, “Living For Today” is a stripped-back acoustic-country song about releasing comparison, living one day at a time and finding hope in the present.
The song later inspired an award-winning Australian short film, original artwork by Melbourne artist Hope Corrigan, two tattoos worn by Tasmanian listener Jason Dwyer and a limited-edition clothing range carrying its message.
“Living For Today” is more than a song—it is a reminder to keep going.

Approved Quote
“I always said that if my music could help even one person, it would be worth dedicating my life to it. Jason became that one person for me. His story reminds me why I keep writing and sharing music, in the hope that another song may reach someone exactly when they need it.”
