This shoot was so much fun! I developed this inspiration from my hall of famer @babyface This legend absolutely killed it with @sevyn & @tkaymaidza on his latest album “Girls Night Out.”

I would also love to thank my man, the myth, the legend, Michael Paran @michaelparan for the lighting and true support. I couldn’t do it without you and I also appreciate all the love and belief in me. We are building an empire!

Enjoy!

“LOVE FLOW”
Directed & Edited by Yours Truly.

A short film exploring love through different eyes and the emotions that come with surrendering to it.

The tears of joy. The bliss. The longing. The euphoria. The vulnerability. The moments that make time stand still.

Because love isn’t just something we feel.
It’s something we move through.

This is “LOVE FLOW.”

First and foremost, I want to thank the Lord for everything He placed in my life this year. 2025 was a challenging year…full of people coming and going, moments of adversity, and lessons in humility. Through it all, He kept reminding me to keep my head up and lead with love in every way possible. Those who truly respect you will stay, and if you trust the process and stick to the plan, great things will come.

And He was right. I never imagined ending the year by receiving the Encore Hero Award, and I am beyond grateful and truly blessed.

I want to thank my family, my friends, my second family at PMG, my partner in crime @michaelparan and his incredible wife @jennaparan, 818Productions & Entertainment @818_productions , and every single person who has supported me along the way. A special thank you to the artists who continue to stand by my side no matter the circumstances. It takes thick skin, real loyalty, and genuine love to move the way we do. You know exactly who you are. ❤️
And an honorable mention to my #1 photographer, @enzogatuslao .

As I write this, I’m honestly at a loss for words. I’ve always been the one behind the scenes in this industry; never one to seek the spotlight or step in front of a camera. But this moment feels different. It’s humbling, motivating, and it’s lit a new fire in me.

I’m honored… and I’m hungrier than ever.
Here’s to stepping into 2026 and making some real noise. We are just getting started… by @ajsmets

From a memory to a melody…I wrote this one a long time ago, and now it’s finally time to share a piece of it with you. “When We Were Kids.”

2024 was one amazing year. I am extremely blessed to have had the year I had, but I couldn’t have done it without a true team. Cheers to the end of the year and to the start of a new journey in 2025. May the Lord shine upon us for a fresh new year. by @ajsmets

Words cannot describe how proud I am of this woman right here. Growing up since Pre-School, Sabrina & I have been really good friends for a long time, but to now take our friendship to a whole different level is truly remarkable. Everything happens for a reason.

Over the last year, I had the pleasure of producing and writing Sabrina’s album, “You Give Me Butterflies.” As well as, producing, directing, and editing her first music video, “Te Vi.”

After countless hours in the studio, phone calls, photo shoots, music video shoots, we finally reached our final product. I am so incredibly proud of how this came out and look forward to our next venture because this is only the beginning. Ladies & Gents, “You Give Me Butterflies” is available on all streaming platforms, we hope you enjoy! “

I would also like to shoutout our team for helping to put this project together, without you this wouldn’t have been possible:
@soycatherinegarces @claudiauballez @luismirontv @enzogatuslao @a.ntonellaa @realwrldjake @realwrld.ent @brianna._ochoa @officialnickgarcia @thejuannavarro and those who I am unable tag my mom & pops!
Thank you guys so much for all your help and support. by @ajsmets
