Hey!

Just posted my latest video on YouTube answering the question, "How Many Hours Does a Songwriter Work?" Songwriting is just like any other job, but how many hours do writers actually spend DOING IT? Also, can you ACTUALLY make a living from just songwriting?

​The answer may surprise you.

Check it out in the above video!

January was a long year but we made it through. 😂

February has arrived meaning Spring is finally just around the corner. 💗🌱 I think there's probably a few more meanings in there than just the one surface-level.

Since hitting 1K subs at the literal end of 2019, my channel has been steadily growing. I'm over 1.1K subs now which is the fastest my channel has ever grown in my 10+ years on YouTube. I'm really not trying to be so numbers-obsessed but I'm honestly so thankful something is finally working. It's not easy being an independent artist and it gets quite lonely... but even for me, I guess things really do start to pay off eventually. 😊

I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for that. 

Not only has my YouTube channel  grown, but so has my music and "brand" (if you want to call it that.) Dance Pop Music is my core of everything and all the other projects I do are simply off-shoots of that in my eyes. I've been writing a lot about my experiences and analyzing my own behaviors while finding resolve in things I believed to be my fault.

It's been truly cathartic and healing letting go of lies that I carried with me (or letting go of my own damn habit of trying to prove myself to everyone! 😂)

I'm also really excited to launch my first true merchandise collection, "Harmonic Interlude" later this week. It's been my project for the last 4-5 months and just FYI navigating eCommerce is a TRIP, YO! 😅 Lots of things to consider and learn but that's why I gave myself time to do it. I honestly love every piece of merch we've put together and worked with some fabulous designers as well. I couldn't be more proud of this project and I'm hoping everyone will love it just the same. 💗

I guess the long "winter seasons" in my life have really taught me to appreciate these small wins and gains. I've been at this for 15 years and things are JUST NOW starting to take form. Success is fleeting though and can dissipate at any moment. So for now, I'm just riding these positive waves and seeing what islands they take me to. 🏝

Hey There!
I am SO EXCITED to finally share this with you! This is your FIRST LOOK at my upcoming merch shop! I hope you love it as much as I do. 💗

So a few things I want to share with you about this merchandise shop...

⚡️ I didn't want to just slap my album covers on a T-Shirt and call it good. 🙅🏼‍♂️🚫😖 I wanted to design clothes that not only I, myself would want to buy, but clothes that people who may not be into my music would love as well. 😁
⚡️ I just wanted to make sure that there was a little something for everyone. 😃

⚡️ The other thing is that I'll be using a system called "Print on Demand."
This means that the product isn't created until you actually place an order. In other words, I'm a small independent artist and won't need to be managing a big ol' warehouse filled with physical product and sending them to you directly from me.

⚡️ This is going to help me manage things tremendously and my print providers are of EXCELLENT QUALITY. 👍🏼

📣📣  Also, Patreon Supporters will get 24 HOUR EARLY ACCESS when the shop is ready for launch. They'll also be receiving special bonuses as time goes on as well! (Click here to join!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so excited and happy to share this new project and venture. I hope you are too! 💗

Let me know your thoughts!

Happy Holidays! 🎄☃️

This week I wanted to share my Christmas Music Playlist for 2019! I love Christmas music and it's been my dream to one day release a full Christmas album of original holiday music, but until then I thought I'd showcase some of my favorite songs by other artists. 

Also, just FYI there will be NO MORE VIDEOS FOR 2019!

This is the last one! Can you believe it? 😂

​I'm going to be taking the next 2 weeks off from YouTube to spend time with my family and friends for the holiday season like I do every year. Thanks for your support and kindness this year, I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am for it.

I hope this holiday season fills you with love and laughter! 🎅🏼
