Received my FIRST GRAMMY NOMINATION ever for my remix of Bazzis “Young And Alive”. Just wild! I’d love to make the next nomination for an original. Thank y’all for the endless support over the years. Going back into hiding now 🙏🎊
Insight! Here's a clip of this incredible marching band called Pacific Crest that made their own arrangement of one of my songs and its so cool. I got goosebumps hearing my music re-imagined like this!
Sounds overly dramatic but I do feel like I betrayed my fans by not sharing my music over the last couple of years. A lot of my new content feels like redemption music in the sense that I hope to get their trust back. Eventually ill remind you of why you followed :D
I think the Katy Perry lawsuit is completely misguided. It obviously highlights the complexity of differentiating between plagiarism and inspiration, but come on.. you cant own four staccato notes following a minor key, there has to be a better way to draw the line
Been sketching this idea out! I’ve been feeling like I haven’t been following my intuition / instincts enough so this is an effort to create a reminder to stop second guessing decisions too much
Hey,
I just wanted to share a brief note because I felt this overwhelming feeling of gratitude for the opportunities my followers have given me over the years!! I hope you guys are enjoying the Sketch Journal snippets while I put together my next body of work.
Much love,

I really wish that all the artists that have inspired me could know what it meant to me to have my mind blown by their music. If I have had that kind of effect even just on one person I'd call my life a success
My album is really taking shape and since I caught myself in a moment of excitement compared to the usual hyper-critical, existentially conflicted state of mind I thought I'd mention that... yeah this album will in fact be pretty rad
Panorama: Discover is out TODAY! I'm very excited. Thank you guys for the support, it means even more now that I am releasing independently again. Lets keep this project rolling!
Just remembered.. when I was in college, the professor for my Music Business course played my music because I raised my hand after he asked whether anyone had used distribution platforms before. The look on his face was priceless 😂 he had no idea what he was listening to
Even though releasing independently again is pretty frightening, without some friends Ive met along the way, I’d be much worse off. Shout out to all the DIY hustlers out there 🙏
I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have listeners. I remember before I dropped out of college how foreign the idea of being a full-time musician was.. I honestly never imagined id have a legitimate career in the music industry
The whole point of my performance videos is to showcase genuine - not overdubbed - takes of my music.. crazy to me that people dont believe theyre live takes (screenshot from Let Me Hear That)
Yo
I've been MIA because I'm in the midst of some creative exploration for my next project and taking care of my personal life. I'll be back when I've got something more to share! Take care of yourselves pls

So so so thankful for having loyal supporters / fans. The time I’ve taken off from releasing was necessary and has taught me a lot. I can’t wait to kick things back into gear and show y’all what I’ve been up to when the time is right.
Didn’t get the Grammy but I’ll take any chance I can to thank my fans for giving me the chance at a career in the music industry. Awards are fun of course but at the end of the day it’s all about the experiences and moments of inspiration and awe that music allows us to share 🙏
Yo! I released my next single, “Contagious”, today. It’s got loads of funk, keytar action, disco and cheesy lyrics infused in it. I hope y’all dig 🙏 if you’d like to purchase it or watch the full video, here’s a link for ya:
