Intuition is an internal conversation about trust and the ability to rummage past the noise to connect with your internal voice. Our Intuition is a gift, and when in-tune with self, you should never deny it.

La La Land (at home version) is another song from my at home series, which was sparked by the pandemic and a personal challenge to reimagine my music at home. 

From my BETTER EP, La La Land marked my initial move to Los Angeles. Ultimately this city has become a place for me to grow as a person and in my art. I have learned a lot here, and am forever grateful for all of the lessons…good and bad. The song describes both sides of the coin for me: at first, unsure if it was where I truly wanted to be. Missing family and friends, fresh air, open space and the green views of the PNW (still miss all). As time went on, I found the spots, the people (important), and discovered the wide variety of little gems that showed me the beauty of LA. There’s so much to explore when you start looking. I believe in finding the joy in where you are…and that goes beyond just geographic location. Not to say it’s always easy. It’s definitely not. Sometimes just a day by day thing, even by the minute on some days. Sometimes it’s just doing your best to hang in there.

some of the best things in life evolve naturally and organically. relationships blossom. love blossoms. intimacy blossoms when you allow it to naturally blossom. "find my line" is to me a sonic representation of that exact feeling. that amazing moment where you find the perfect way to show this other person that you want them and you're theirs if they want you too. Whether it's something you say, a gesture with your body language, or a mix of the two It's very subtle, but powerful. There's this spark in that moment and it's one that lights a fire in the special moment you share. There's a trust and vulnerability you share in that moment. Whether you're single or in a relationship the moment exists. If you're like me, engaged and in a relationship for 5+ years, that fire always remains because the bond I share with my partner is so deep and true. Those special moments are even more powerful because we get to exclusively share them for the rest of our lives together. 

writing "find my line" was just as organic. It flowed so naturally, from the writing, to the production, to the recording to the mixing/mastering. There was a bit of pressure leading up the moment everything flowed, but once it finally struck I believe I found my own version of a diamond. I hope you think so too. thanks for listening. 

lyrics:
v1
I spend my moments pondering
if you been thinking on that,
type of time with,
you and I yeah?

pre:
It's been on my mind all night
I've been trying to find my line

chorus
(yeah I want you)
it's your body
nobody else
(and if you want me too)
it's your body
nobody else
(yeah I want you)
it's your body
nobody else

find my line

BXB LOVE

matrix was the debut single release of BXB LOVE, dropped globally on web2 April 2021. 

while the story of BXB LOVE didn’t begin with the creation of the song matrix, matrix is a reflection that explores the moment where an internal switch was flicked for LOVE, opening an internal space in which the idea of BXB LOVE was able to manifest from a distant and seemingly unreachable dream, into reality. 

“it's about my realization that I had been striving for a life that was based on what i believed were the expectations and norms of the world around me. choosing to acknowledge that that wasn’t working for me. and then taking the risk of going on the journey to find what does work.”

this is the instrumental to THROWED!, a song i created alongside my friend BadAlphabet, an amazing artist and human being.

I made this beat on a whim one day while I was experimenting with new styles. I use a lot of bass guitar and neo-soul / gospel chords on the piano but i usually drown it all out with a huge 808 or crazy processed drums lol
 this is the first song i'm releasing where i wanted to communicate just a groove and a feeling of smoothness. comfort and lush vibes, not dance breaks or extreme hype energy LMAO

how BA landed on the track was due to the magical connections and community in the outsider discord. One of the first communities in the web3 music scene that really is pioneered towards uplifting everyone and making sure everybody eats. I was playing some stuff in the discord  VC and when BA heard this beat, he was like: I NEED that. Sent him over the beat, he ATE , and the rest is history.

Whoever collects the beat, me and B.A. are releasing the song very very sooon so I would love to give you the full version for free, plus the WAV file so you can listen anywhere you would like. 

*also hit me up in the DMs on twitter as I have a special offer for you*

anyone who listens to this I hope you have a beautiful day night mornin rising whatever you call it and know that you are not alone in this journey. you will achieve every endeavor and every dream you set your mind to. keep shining your light. - rem/c
