It’s here. 🔥
“Through My Skin” is out now.

This is the most personal song I’ve released… about how I experience intimacy beyond sound, where connection lives in the body, not words.
As a deaf artist, I didn’t hear this song… I felt it.

It’s here. 💛
More Every Second is out now - the biggest love song I’ve ever written.

This one is breathy, intimate, and then full-voice… because love deserves range.

Closing out the weekend the right way: glasses on, hair messy, grey sweats, drink in hand. 10/10 would recommend.

They won’t teach you this in school:
In the 1920s & 30s, queer performers ruled nightlife. They called it The Pansy Craze.
Before Stonewall. Before Pride parades. Before RuPaul told us to sashay away.

We’re told to tone it down.
Make it palatable.
Find a smaller version of ourselves that doesn’t make anyone too uncomfortable.

This week’s Substack dives into that idea — how rage, grief, and softness can all sing together.
🎭 Featuring: “Last Call” from Speakeasy
💔 Plus my new single, Before I Go, out now.

I didn’t grow up in a world that encouraged softness.
Feelings were something you hid.
And if you were a boy — especially a different kind of boy — you learned fast to smile through it.

Every save, playlist add, and follow helps it go further — especially for independent, Deaf artists like me.

Thank you for helping this song be heard.

This song isn’t about revenge or drama.
It’s about the quiet heartbreaks —
The ones that fade slowly, inch by inch,
Until you finally say goodbye out loud.

[Waymon Hudson @WaymonHudson]

💔 Before I Go — out now.

The quietest goodbye I’ve ever written.
The moment you realize love shouldn’t make you disappear.

I don’t make this stuff for algorithms.
I make it for the ones who’ve been told they’re too loud, too soft, too queer, too late.

Your voice matters — even if the world never expected it.

I also dropped the final act of my Broadway character arc in Speakeasy — the “I Am” song moment.

🎭 In I Choose This, Jules claims her joy, her voice, her damn spotlight.

Because sometimes? The transformation is the protest.

This week, I released my first single since going deaf —
🎧 Ruin Me Slowly — a slow burn about sexy bad decisions and emotional damage (set to a vibey beat, obviously).

The world told me I couldn’t make music anymore.
I made it anyway.

🎧 https://t.co/7ECj1SEeOE

[Waymon Hudson @WaymonHudson]

When you’re queer and Deaf, the world tells you “no” a lot.
No, you don’t belong.
No, you’re not the right kind of artist.
No, you’re too much.
No, you can’t hear the music — so why bother making it?

So eventually, you stop asking.

You kick the damn door down.

[Waymon Hudson @WaymonHudson]

There’s a moment in every great musical — when the lights dim, the music swells…
…and a character finally tells you what they really want.

It’s not just a song.
It’s a confession. A key. A spark.
🎶 It’s the “I Want” Song.

👇 Let’s talk about it.

https://t.co/Qs7bSTJORG

[Waymon Hudson @WaymonHudson]

I wrote this song with my whole chest (and maybe a few questionable choices).

It’s sexy. It’s raw. It’s mine.

Watch the full teaser here — and yeah, turn the volume way up.

💔 Ruin Me Slowly drops Sept 12.

Moving to Costa Rica without residency?

It’s like trying to live forever on guaro shots — fun, but highly unsustainable. 🍹

Here’s the real deal on how to legally stay in paradise. 🧵
