OMG‼️

HUGE moment for me. @Timbaland played 1 of our records on Twitch last night, and we got the official ‘screw-face’ co-sign 🤯‼️

This was produced with my guy Aemkabeats all the way from Switzerland 🇨🇭! Enjoy while I go shed a few thug tears 😅. ⁣

God is good.⁣ 🙏🏽

Had to sample one of my favourite movies, ‘Gladiator’ for the intro 😮‍💨

‘…I will have my vengeance’. 🥷🏼

A rapper or a singer?

After a brief intermission, I’m back to doing what I do best. 🫡

[GᎥƒted | Shokunin Music Academy @GiftedASR]

A season of static finally coming to an end. Health struggles, gear giving out, life doing the most. Still, music always finds its way to me. It’s my constant when everything else shifts. ⚖️

New frontiers. Can’t wait to show you what’s next.🧞‍♂️📈

Enter the void. 🥷🏼

He really compressed 4 years of therapy into 60 seconds.

Fellow producers/engineers - I'm upgrading my studio monitors and need some help.

Currently using Yamaha HS5's. Need to replace them ASAP as they’ve blown!

Toying with going up to the HS7s or even the Kali LP-6’s. Any other recommendations?

[GᎥƒted | Shokunin Music Academy @GiftedASR]

These are the kind of topics that come up at my academy (Shokunin Music Academy), if you follow me on Insta, you’ll know I have a series for this content.

Wanted to share it here too!

Today I spoke about ‘Less Is More’ & how simplicity might be your path back to new ideas.💡

[GᎥƒted | Shokunin Music Academy @GiftedASR]

I didn’t get here overnight, and the ‘work’ doesn’t stop.

The work just becomes ‘play’. Once it becomes play, it becomes fun.

We call that flow state. 🌀

That’s the Shokunin Music Academy way.

DM for info. 🥷🏼

This is what it’d sound like if I produced J Cole’s new single… 🥷🏼🦁

The real is back.

In a hot country for the week, I’ve had 2 hours sleep, filling up my water bottle at the all-inclusive and realised it was actually orange sangria. Not orange-infused water…

Not necessarily a bad start I guess 😂🤷🏽‍♂️

Better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war. 🥷🏼
