A summer was summered by @billdphan

To my best friend, partner, roommate, dog parent…

Words can not express what the last 5 years have been and I am so blessed/grateful to call you my person. Life has thrown so much at us and our love continues to push through it all.

I am so happy to have met you and to be able to celebrate 5 years with you. Everyone in my life understands how much I love love and to be able to feel it deeply is a blessing.

I love you and I cannot wait to continue our lives together. Happy 5 years ❤️ by @billdphan

Huge shout out to my @edmchicagoofficial family for 1) allowing me to DJ for this event but 2) partnering with me at my bar @islandpartyhut to throw such an amazing party that brought out the entire city! 🙏🏽

Got some big plans coming this season and a few more Parties on the River so stay tuned. 🪩

Also extra shout out to the fam at @redbull for the support plus giving me a new sweet jacket 😎 by @billdphan

A dream come true and I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to see the Hoosiers play their hearts out in the Hard Rock Stadium. Grateful to see so many fellow IU Pikes and incredibly thankful for fellow alumni, John Lisher, for getting us such amazing seats.

As I head to the airport and prepare to face reality (and the cold), I have this itch to scream at the top of my lungs one last time..

HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS!!! 🔴⚪️ by @billdphan

Big shout out to the homies from Red Bull for giving me the opportunity to play on this dope DJ truck during Lollapalooza weekend. Gave a little sneak peek of a track coming with @ayooofficial too 👀🕺🏽 by @billdphan

2025 has involved making decisions to stop trying to make others happy but trying to better my own quality of life so here’s a recap with some amazing people that came along the way. 🙏🏽 by @billdphan

I was raised by immigrants and I was raised by women.

I was raised to understand the value of money. My college fund was a jar of coins given to me by my mother the day I left for college while she cried, kissing me goodbye because that’s all she could afford. That was when I realized life wasn’t what I was told it would be.

The American Dream is real and the American dream is alive in me. I am my parents’ American dream and no matter what our government does, that will never die.

I fear for my friends, my family and those that are affected because I know my family’s story is just one of many. I am fortunate and not many were as fortunate.

America was founded on principles that taught us to accept one another for who we were not where we came from or what others thought of us but times have changed and people have changed. Leadership has caused a divide in our society and I have been silent long enough.

I cannot sit back and allow people I consider friends to think this is acceptable nor is it what our founders truly wanted.

I will stand in solidarity for the immigrant families , I will stand in solidarity for women, I will stand in solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community, I will stand in solidarity for the under represented, I will stand for those that cannot because of fear and the hatred that exists.

I am here as an advocate, as a friend and a supporter. I am sorry for what America has become. by @billdphan

Life has been nothing but short of amazing. Celebrated my 31st last weekend but 2024 has been full of new opportunities while being surrounded by loved ones. Here’s to more growth & even better memories 🙏🏽 by @billdphan

Missed my cue on recapping 2023 but here we go..

Started 2023 by quitting a job that I, at one point, called my dream job. Working in entertainment & hospitality has always been my passion as far back as I could remember and I have been blessed with some incredible opportunities.

I have always aimed to be a servant leader by putting others before myself and this included my career/job. This started to backfire on me. I realized that I hardly knew what work/life balance was and started growing tired of working around people. So instead of leaving the industry, I decided to start freelance consulting a year ago.

Since making that decision, I’ve surprisingly found more work than I ever expected and continue to be introduced to new potential clients. I feel the happiest and least stressed that I have ever been but still feel as though I am progressing in my career while still having time for my loved ones. Oh, and I have been able to focus more on being creative again specifically in music (producing and DJing) so stay tuned for some unreleased music this year 🫡

So all-in-all, 2023 was great. I am happy and I am healthy. Looking forward to continuing my growth in life and appreciate everyone for sticking around for the ride 🫶🏽🤝🏽 by @billdphan
