The Zero Gravity music video.

Shortly after my Blue Origin spaceflight in 2021, I attended a songwriting retreat that I had been planning to attend. I’d been in this science land with engineering and technical conversations, and then suddenly arrived at a songwriting retreat to join a circle of people sitting on the grass holding hands. It was a major shift in energy, and quite jarring, but really brought me back down to Earth. I made some new friends and co-wrote a few songs, and it was a lot of fun. 

Fast forward a few months, and two of the retreat attendees, Adrian and Lucia, reached out saying they had been inspired to write a song after hearing about my flight. They presented a rough draft for “Zero Gravity” on a zoom call and it blew my mind. It was like they had gotten inside my mind and understood not only my experience, but had also channeled the bigger picture. They were able to articulate what my loved ones must have felt watching me fly up to space while they could only stay behind. Over the next few months we wrote the rest of the song together, refined the lyrics, and I set about recording my version of it. 

So, I am proud to announce “Zero Gravity,” my 2nd single of my upcoming EP!  🚀 To go along with it, I also have a new music video, picking up from where I was left hanging in space in the first video, “The Great Unknown.”

The Great Unknown

Two years ago I flew to space with William Shatner, Audrey Powers and Glen de Vries, and it still seems like yesterday! Being an astronaut was a dream of mine my entire life, and realizing that dream with this crew of extraordinary human beings was an unforgettable experience. 

I have been working hard to capture the magic of that trip in song form, and now have an EP that is ready to release in early 2024. Today, I am proud to share the first song and music video with you! It’s called “The Great Unknown” and it chronicles the journey of many explorers, from being a kid with a dream, to being a “big kid” living it.

This happy, joyful song needed the perfect video, and I found an awesome video production company to help bring one to life. Starring the talented young Aksel as a mini me, we went out on a day of rocketeering and visited a science museum, which we filmed on real 16mm film! 🚀🎥🎞️ To complete the music video, we blended this “retro footage” with exclusive video from my ride to space atop Blue Origin’s New Shepard launch vehicle.
