It’s been a while… here’s what I’ve been working on 🎶

It’s been a little while since I last checked in with you.

Not because I’ve stepped away —
but because I’ve been deep in the process… creating, reflecting, and really figuring out what this next chapter looks like.

And on a personal level, it’s also been a heavy few months — I lost my father and my uncle, which gave me a lot of time to pause, reflect, and reset.

And honestly… a lot has changed.

🎧 “Faded Polaroid” — A Very Personal Release

Last month, I released a song called “Faded Polaroid.”

This one is different.

It’s personal.
It’s reflective.
It’s about memories… the kind that don’t disappear, but don’t quite feel the same anymore.

I haven’t shared the full story behind it yet — but I will.
Just know this one came from a real place.

If you haven’t heard it yet, I’d truly appreciate you taking a moment to listen, share it with someone, or add it to your favorite playlist:

🔄 A Shift in My Musical Journey

I’ve made a big decision…

I’m no longer releasing music as an artist in the Freestyle genre.

That chapter gave me so much — experiences, relationships, and moments I’ll always carry with me.
But creatively, I’ve felt myself being pulled in a different direction for a while now.

And I finally decided to follow it.

🎼 What I’m Focused on Now

Right now, my energy is going into:

• ✍️ Songwriting
• 🎹 Producing for other artists
• 🎧 Building records from idea to finished song

I’ve been working with some incredible talent like:
​CinaMusic, Jasmine Dennis, Jasmin (late 80's Freestyle Artist making her comeback) Angel Love (of Freestyle Legendary group, TKA) and Scarlett Santana — and there’s more on the way.

🚀 Building with RBL (This Is a Big One)

A huge part of this next chapter is my production team, RBL.

We’ve been locked in — writing, producing, and developing records not just for our own releases, but also for major and independent artists through our publishing relationships.

And I’ll be honest…

👉 We’ve had some real opportunities come through
👉 Records being written with purpose
👉 Music being created with intention and direction

This is probably the most focused I’ve felt creatively in a long time.

🙌 Appreciate You Being Here

If you’re still here reading this — thank you.

Whether you’ve been rocking with me since the Freestyle days…
or you’re just tapping in now…
I truly appreciate you.

This next chapter feels different.
More intentional.
More aligned.
