About Breakthrough:
“With Breakthrough, I wanted to take the listener on an experience through exhilarating groove-based tunes combined with sophisticated but accessible jazz-influenced compositions. Every composition preceding the closing title-track was inspired and crafted towards the album’s main theme: the embodiment of the journey from inspiration into that defining moment: Breakthrough.” – Eli Bennett
