We caught some cool footage while we were in the studio recording the album and it turns out you can learn a lot from it!

I am so insanely proud of AMP, to be part of such an amazing organization with amazing people. This past year has been a year of growth, settling into what we do and how we do it, and seeing the long term impact of what we are creating. It's a pleasure to build this with such a wonderful team and amazing board, to work with such incredible artists who bring their all to each session, and to have each and every donor who believes in what we are doing, thank you to everyone! Here's to an ever bigger and better 2026!

For those who don't know, @artofmusicproject is an non-profit organization I am involved with (and helped found) that helps artists bring music to life through live sessions that are created with, and tailored to them. Go check us out on YouTube 😎

As we near the end of 2025, I can't help but be grateful for the musical year I've had, the amazing music I've been a part of, the amazing people I've been honoured to collaborate with, and the lasting memories I've made. This past year feels special.

While I don't use Spotify Wrapped, witnessing numerous artists I've collaborated with share their achievements (and recognizing my small role in them) just warms my heart.

I also realized that I don't post much, even though I have many projects and fun photos to share, so I'm planning to change that! (We don't have to wait for the new year to start fresh habits; we can begin right now, right!??)

📸 Thanks to @misscellaneous_creative @tanitasaurus & @alongsidemultimedia for the photos!

Got some new hardware in the mail!! The USA Gold plaque for @threedaysgraceofficial's single "I Am Machine" from their record Human. So stoked to finally have this on the wall!!

  In the spirit of thanksgiving, I wanted to just say how much this record means to me. This band, from their very first record, was a huge influence when I was getting into music creation. To be able to work on this record, along with their producer Gavin (another huge influence) was just unbelievable and a major life highlight for me.
I will never forget how much I learned on this record, how much my engineering skills grew, and the trust and opportunities I was given on the project. I am forever grateful to @neil_threedaysgrace and the guys for everything they have done for me, then and to this day. Human was the first record I worked on with Three Days Grace, but it would not be even close to the last, along side many other projects because of the relationships I made during this project.

This album as a whole is something I am truly grateful for, and this plaque is a nice little reminder of that. by @anakcreates

How long does it take you to write a song? (and what genre is it?)

When we started this “song in a day” challenge, our mastering engineer told us to get going.. This was our response (we got a little over hyped).

Reminder: Always be kind to your mastering engineer.
