"Beyond the Horizon" is now streaming.
This song is the first release from my debut album, Awake From The Dream, coming in October 2026.
After years of writing, recording, performing, and teaching, it's exciting to finally start sharing some original music again.
The main guitar riff first appeared many moons ago while I was driving across the country for the first time. Over the years, I kept developing it at all kinds of gigs—background music at cafés, wedding ceremonies, backyard summer hangs, and everywhere in between. Inspiration was easy to come by then, and thankfully, it still is!
In 2024, I finally committed to a musical passion project I'd been dreaming about for a long time. The result is an album that blends old and new songs—familiar to me, but brand new to most!
I'm incredibly grateful to producer Malcolm Burn for his vision and creative influence on this song—and many more to come.
I'll share more soon about the journey of recording this album, but for now, I hope you enjoy the music. Hopefully this fits nicely somewhere in your summer, nature or meditation playlists.
The riff first appeared on a cross-country drive. Years later, it's finally out in the world.
Thanks for listening. See you soon!

This is D’Archangelis’ first studio single, yet she is no stranger to the world of music. D'Archangelis holds a B.F.A. in musical theater from The Boston Conservatory and is an advanced member of the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. Her music composition credits include the Broadway production Single Rider, and The Radium Girls:
A Jaw-Dropping New Musical (a five-time winner at The National Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Eugene O'Neill NMTC Semifinalist). D’Archangelis’ music has been performed on Good Morning America, SiriusXM’s The Jay Thomas Show, and at Lincoln Center, Feinstein's 54 Below, The Duplex, Green Room 42, The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, and more.
For Prezzano, “Beauty” marks his fifth studio single. He has been actively involved in the New York music scene for a decade and has performed in dozens of professional theater productions throughout the United States. Prezzano was both the music director and performing guitarist in multiple national tours and regional theater productions of the Broadway show, A Night with Janis Joplin (available on BroadwayHD). He has performed and collaborated with many acclaimed artists including Tony-Award nominee Mary Bridget Davies. Prezzano’s experience also includes composing and recording a promotional song for the shaving company Harry's, which charted at 36 on Spotify's Global Viral Top 50 list in 2017; and recording guitar for the Off-Broadway show and concept album, Oscar at the Crown in Spring 2019.
