'Death Valley Paradise' started life as a song before it was dissected and spread across the album. Death Valley is a place of extremes, where living things are said to not be able to survive. InchTo survive and thrive in those circumstances and find your paradise in it. For me, it sums up the journey I've been through,Inch states Kris. InchAs a musician, I was put into a place where it was hard to survive, and I had to do different things to keep it moving. Early 2020 was uncharted waters for all of us,Inch he adds. InchAt first we thought, three weeks and it's over. I tried to take it positively and keep myself busy until reality set in.Inch For the ex-MMA/Cage Fighter, the only way out was to refocus. InchOnce Covid hit, it was a case of 'anything goes. This is an album of no limitations; I felt that nothing was off the table for it.Inch 'Death Valley Paradise' is available everywhere March 4th, 2022
