20 years ago, i left my country, my culture, my food, and family to embark on a journey that started with the release of my very first body of music! So many of you were a part of my life and career since the very beginning, and some of you have joined the adventure along the way. I’m forever grateful to all of you. Each of you played a very crucial role in where this journey has taken me thus far!
I just wanted to take this moment to say thank you! Thank you for the greatest first 20 years ever! 20 years of the most loyal, die-hard fans that don’t play about me whatsoever, 20 years of hard work and hardworking teams around me, 20 years of lessons, 20 years of unforgettable experiences and accomplishments, 20 years of my family being my number one support system, and to all the people who said yes to me and gave me a chance before it was “cool” to (Execs, DJ’s, writers, producers, dancers, choreographers, directors, fashion designers, photographers, glam, journalists, brands, mentors, etc etc) 20 years worth of thanks to you!! I thank God, He’s been very generous to me and the Glory belongs to Him! #R20 🙏🏿⚓️

The three biggest green flags are growth, kindness, and compassion.

If they are consistently kind, if they care about growing, and if they can see beyond their own perspective, then this is someone worth your time and energy.

Look at this graph and explain to me why you think I should read this as a measure of consumer confidence rather than partisanship.

We do not have an inflation problem now; we have a housing problem, and that's been true for over a year.

RIP Quincy Jones, who leaves us at age 91. No musician of his generation moved so effortlessly and brilliantly between styles and settings—collaborating with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson to Miles Davis. What a remarkable career!

Rest in Power #QuincyJones #leader #teacher #spirit #pioneer #thankyou

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

Rest in peace, Quincy…

In honor of his legacy, here’s a throwback to an incredible moment:

Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock in the studio, exploring the groundbreaking Fairlight CMI synthesizer. Herbie’s demonstration showcases the brilliance of both the technology and their unmatched creativity.

A true legend remembered.
