x Last Nite someone shot & killed someone that was a sister to me. A beautiful Black woman who was pregnant and entering motherhood and never hurt anyone at all. My heart is completely broken. This will never be okay. Protecting Black women isn’t a catch phrase TO ME.x

Subscription model sucks, it deters young artists from entering into design & photography. The model has classist implications, is unaffordable for many and y’all should consider going back to the pay to download option or lose ur legacy. x
When you see me you see someone who rose from ashes. 3 years ago had my whole studio stolen never replaced by the thief (y’all still rockin with them tho) Had been completely uprooted and rebuilt my life on my own terms. Never quit.
The best part of my life today was at 9am, 5 mins into Theo Parrish set… the room exploded into “free Palestine” chant to this high powered bass & I hold my Palestine scarf in the air. Black incantations will heal the world, it’s inevitable.
I'm excited to announce that I'm changing my artist name to 'Suzi Digital'! After years of being 'analog' working with new & classic synths, I've decided to fully embrace the digital age. From now on, all of my music will be made using ONLY the latest software and digital tools.

Facts. “Also referred to as Standard American, Broadcast English, or Network English, General American was a term first used in the 1920s and '30s by linguists who wanted to isolate a more widespread accent than the New England or Southern dialects.”
x ATTENTION: The social media focus should be on demanding unemployment extension & stimulus EN MASSE, Bc pressure from the people got us those things in the 1st place.

x 1 year later of this day it’s very slow & uneven progress. Bare Black folks on festival lineups has been an interesting thing to see. Don’t even get us started on lack of Black femme presence. Black boxes and hashtags then back to “business.” x
We need more female record producers. They’re way smarter than us. And tbh, there are women in these sessions who do WAY more for the production of a song than the men who end up on the production CREDITS👀
Just a thought, if you’re offended, ion know what to tell you.
Also Prince's longtime engineer was a woman and she recorded his classic tracks we still love, and her name is Susan Rogers, and she was self-taught and.... BRB I'm weeping.
Sometimes I just ruminate on how Prince had mighty lady musicians in his band and put them out front proudly WHEN NO OTHER MOTHERFUCKERS WOULD and I start cryin.
x Reading that less than 1% of Black women are music producers. I’ve been producing music for 18 years. Don’t you think I know my value? I do. So respect it. x
Promoters with colonial club mentality who want proximity to Blackness in music above all else are the ones who continue to book abusers in the music industry. Hands down.
x 3 Year Anniversary of when the COVID Pandemic started for us all & it’s startling to think about how much we’ve had to hyper navigate in such short time. If you are still here, please be kind to yourself, it’s been a lot. x

Gonna pull a Katt Williams & reveal how many of ur favorite hip-hop producers I put onto classic hip-hop records that they never heard til they met me.
x People who think “music” is all chords and the same ole rudiments are so boring. There’s so many lush subtones out there. There is percussions that aren’t linked! You have to stop being afraid of how people gatekeep what music is, and learn to listen deeper! x
