a note on where I’ve been and where I’m at 🤍 This last year I’ve been working on a ton of new music- for my artist projects (both singer-songwriter indie stuff as well as my dance/edm projects), writing with and for other incredibly talented artists, producing a ton and starting to DJ. Every single day I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to create art for a living. A part of me has always been deeply uncomfortable with self promotion- and I’ve really noticed that discomfort growing with every day that we wake up to the most unimaginable stories of people who are just trying to survive, feed their children, find a safe place to sleep. There’s a deep guilt that I carry moving through my life and career when there are so many people who need our help, and so many people determined to keep taking from those who need most. Maybe you’ve felt the same.

In speaking to another artist and collaborator recently about this feeling, I was also reminded how much the world needs art. I’m definitely aware of how much I need it. It’s also my job and I know can’t just stop making and sharing it. In january of this year, I was visiting my family back home in Montreal while LA was on fire. I was sitting in my childhood home with my dad trying to stomach the inauguration of a facist predator. We watched as he proudly celebrated the victory of his campaign ran on hate, pardoned and rewarded white supremacists, and then sat in church for the post inauguration prayer service. ‘God would hate him’, I said out loud to my dad or to myself or maybe to the universe.

I don't live in the US, but I don't need to be there to understand that those in power around the world exhibit fascist attitudes and power to oppress their own people and humanity. Every day citizens are oppressed and oppressed against the hardships of life and most importantly every day children die. Perhaps our short life has coincided with the Dark Age that is or will be in the world.
