Songwriter: Ahead No Heart

songwriter ahead no heart

Ahead No Heart is a one man band who thinks his own name would’ve been weird to announce. All jokes aside, I never wanted it to be about the person behind the music but more the meaning each song has. ANH is about the overall internal suffering humanity endures, how we overcome that, how we move past, the different chapters in our lives; I hope to encapsulate all of it from my own POV.
