I feel like every time I looked up in 2025 I was reminded of my “why?” My “why” is to try to tell the truth in a way that lets you recognize your own story. It is to honor where I came from while still trying to build something that is bigger than me. It is to use my voice in a way that bridges the gap between the hurt and the healing. It is to take the meaning out of the Whirlwind instead of being swallowed by it. Music ain’t just something I do. It’s how I try to make sense of the world… and since I have yet to make complete sense of the world, I guess I’ll be doing this til the day I can’t. 🩵 Here is to another year of learning that momentum is a gift and not guaranteed. That when dreams move faster than you do, stay rooted and let the Lord carry you. Here is the bird’s eye view of 2025. 🐤 To sum it up, we bent it over our knee and wore its little a$$ out.
