Hey man,
I don’t the think critical thinkers have misplaced disappointment. The word you used conflates character & human DNA
Nina Simone believed an artist’s duty is to reflect the times. & using a positive word to describe destructive ppl is hurtful. & that’s not who you are
Shout out to the Recording Academy who actually did research on us. Didn’t even need the exec at that point bc they looked us up during the email exchange and said “we got you” 💪🏾💛
Got a placement, manager negotiated splits, label agreed to said splits, got proper credits, THOUGHT we won a Grammy but the Rec Academy said we didn’t (bc we weren’t credited correctly) so I had to full court press an exec at said label to get credited properly AND our trophy 🤷🏾♂️
While it’s still Black History Month, let me share some of my personal Black History
I’m a 2024 Grammy Winner. I think it’s no longer surreal but still moves me to thank God out loud
My song Nothing to Lose just recently got a sync placement on NBA 2k26
From me being impressed when I played the first 2K basketball game on Dreamcast to me impressing them with my music
Full circle vibes 💪🏾🔥
We’re in my studio
Me: listening to vinyl in my headphones and recording samples
Her: watching her shows with her headphones in
This is quality time to us, too
When I say, I wouldn’t be here still doing music full time if it wasn’t for God, I mean:
My flesh tells me to quit but I keep asking God what I do and He shows me through numerous ways to keep going
Just completed my first official VO job for a really cool creative project and now I wanna do more
I did script writing and creative direction for it too ✍🏾🔥
Every time the Grammys come around, I remember I used to think I’d never win one and then God said “wrong.” lol
Got me one and no one can’t take it away
