In an almost poetic fashion, after 13 long years of online creation I had my first video anywhere hit 100,000 views right when the platform may get banned...

Regardless of the "what ifs," to have 100,000 views attached to something I made feels incredible.

I know for many people 100K is probably nothing, but for me, it's a symbol of long-term dedication. Funny enough, the topic of the video happens to be about an aspect of the music industry I've always found interesting and what made me feel the most like an alien👽 - how pop albums are marketed. 📋

If I could tell each and every person who has viewed my TikToks in the week since I posted this video how much I appreciate them for giving me 60 seconds of their time, I would. 🙏🏼 I know this is an age of instant gratification and everyone having millions of views so to some this post might be a bit pathetic, but for me this is brand new and a huge milestone. 

Not entirely, admittedly. I've had 28 years of knowing what I'd do if something I created every caught fire 🔥and now it has. This is where the fun and the story really begins. 😁

Grateful is the word ringing in my mind. Getting some kind of virality for the first time, even if it isn't for my music specifically, is a privilege I don't take lightly. I recognize the fact that people caring about my content makes me LUCKY🍀, however the work it took to get there must be honored too. I'm still an absolute no one, but maybe this is a sign of things to come? If it's not, like I said, I'm grateful for this moment whatever it signifies. 🌸

13 years of dead ends and "maybe this will work's." 13 years of small wins and major losses. This is why I tell people to never ever quit chasing their dream for a career music. The path that leads you forward may not look like the path you imagined... but you're still on the path if you open your eyes and just keep walking. 

2020 really has been something, huh?

I've been writing this book alone for so long... Let's see what happens if you write it with me going forward.

One of the most common questions I receive is how to properly copyright music. Everyone gets really scared (rightfully so) of people stealing your song so I wanted to share some copyrighting basics to hopefully ease the minds of some indie artists! However, remember I'm not a lawyer and this isn't official legal counsel so make sure you ask one if you've got further questions! Anyway, enjoy!

In a world Post-COVID19, time has been moving incredibly fast... but also painfully slowly.

I don't know about you but if it weren't for my work schedule, I wouldn't know what day it is at all anymore. Time seems to completely blend together! I feel like I upload my YouTube videos on Wednesday and then I blink and it's time to upload the next one! 😂

Are you experiencing this?

I don't know if it's because of everything happening in the world, this pandemic or what but it's difficult to maintain focus sometimes. It's not impossible, by any means, but it's also ok to have difficult moments too.

Still, even as our social media feeds seemingly go back to whatever "normal" was, it's still important to be anti-racist and continue having difficult conversations with family and friends. Black Lives Matter isn't a trend, it's an actual movement that will continue in the months and years ahead.

😷It's important to stay vigilant in wearing a mask and social distancing. Cases here in the US are rising because people don't want to follow health officials. It's frustrating watching the rest of the world decrease in cases while many people here don't believe COVID-19 is even real! 🙄Ugh!

I hope you're doing your best to stay strong in this wild whirlwind of a year. Many lives have been lost worldwide and going outside can be really terrifying. Make sure you monitor your physical AND mental health because I still believe there is hope for a positive outcome. This will NOT be our forever, even though it feels like it is.

​Stay strong and I'm sending you love. 💗
