Creatives.. do NOT give up on yourself. Please trust me on this!!!!! I’ve been independent for 10+ years, no one knows my whole story (except my mom lol). Again, please keep pressing forward with your passion, drive and belief in yourself!!!!
I still do music. I promise lol. I’m also a whole mom and living my life. It’s been a year and a half since my last full-length album. Everything’s ok. 😅😂
I remember watching the premiere of
@insecurehbo
— just a couple months after I had my daughter, and thought.. 💭I’d love to have my music on this show!💭 I, like many many others, discovered so many artists from that season ALONE! Khalid, Ari, Kali Uchis, Vince Staples...

for having me along for the ride 🍭🍭🍭🍭
I’m a hopeFUL romantic. I love love and the feeling of genuinely being in love and BEING loved, hence, 90% of what I write about lol. I always believe in love, always, whether I can relate to it in the moment, or not lol. I ALWAYS believe in love. ❤️
Marigold is currently
#6
on iTunes R&B charts. In-between 2022 Grammy-winning albums and legendary greatest hits albums. I do NOT take that lightly lol for real. An indie release, with nothing but love and hard work built in. Thank you so much for all of the love. 🌼❤️
Yes, I still do music 😂 Yes, I’m working on stuff. No, I didn’t go anywhere. I have to live life in order to have something to write about. All in good time. Please read this several times. Ok thank you lol ❤️
I fell in love with jazz when I started singing it in high school. Then I majored in jazz studies in college. I don’t sing it nearly as much nowadays, but it’s elements are in how I write, how I perform, and everywhere else in my art. (thread)
R&B, aside from being embedded in several other different genres, is alive and well, and has always been. There are so many incredible artists in the genre alone, it may take a lil more diligence in discovering and listening, but there is so much gold✨✨✨

@jackdine
& I have been working on this album for a couple years (took longer cuz pandemic), Marigold is so special to us both. So happy and excited to FINALLY share this music ❤️
That
#Verzuz
was no doubt historic, legendary, EPIC. To see and hear all of that greatness being honored and celebrated like that. Both of those groups have helped to create (literally lol) and shape the CULTURE. Still mind blown.
Dropping an album in a couple days with the genius
@terracemartin
and I’m BEYOND hyped.. we started working on this music right before the pandemic, and now we FINALLY get to share it this Friday 🥲🥲🥲🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️
To see my Dad talk about the songs he wrote, to watch him play how I’ve always known him to, it’s real and magic all at the same time. To watch my uncle perform like he always has.. to see and hear the iconic EWF.. wow wow wow. I’m just glad we ALL got to see this.

My verse on
@destinCONRAD
‘s “Same Mistake” isn’t from my perspective, it was inspired by a couple heartbreakers 20-something me once knew ..the beauty of songwriting ✨
Of course it’s a beautiful thing to support and thank R&B artists, those in the field, myself included, are fueled by the love and support!! But no one is saving something that doesn’t need rescuing. R&B is thriving!! It’s everywhere. All it takes is a listen👂🏽
