I WROTE A BOOK! It shares my weird story and the lessons I've learned about creativity, authenticity, making money, and succeeding online. It would mean so much to me if you can pre-order as that really helps with store distribution and such! 💖

i hear a lot of boomers saying that modern music is too repetitive and i would like to point them to the beatles, who had a #1 hit singing "na na na na na na na na na na na hey jude" 19 times in a row, taking up 4 minutes of a 7 minute long song

If you go to a music producer’s house you will just find these in random places everywhere and the only way to make them disappear is to create a situation where you actually need one

Musicians are maybe the most set-in-their-ways people ever. Tradespeople have CNC machines, architects have CAD, animators have Maya - and people not much older than me think my music isn't "real" because I made it on a computer instead of instruments from 400 years ago

I'm personally doing fine through commercial music production, my YouTube, my course, my app. But for so many artists whose music you love, streaming has devalued them way too much. And if they’re on a label, go ahead and reduce those numbers by 50-90%.
