Raining? 🌧️ Can’t find us? 👀 Check the Union lobby or our office (OMU 370) instead! ✅ We might have relocated because of the weather… but the rain can’t stop us from working to prevent harm!

📩When you grow up with very little, you think money will change everything. So you chase it. The success. The things you never had. Convinced that one day, you’ll arrive, and life will finally begin.

Then you get there, and you realize how much of life was happening along the way.

The nights making music when nobody knew your name. The people who believed in you before there was a reason to. The joy of doing something you love, without knowing where it might take you.

21 years ago, I was listening to “The Next Episode” by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. It made me want to make music. I had no idea how far I could go. I just knew how it made me feel.

That’s why my album is called 21. Twenty-one years of following that feeling.

Today, a song with Snoop Dogg has my name on it too.

I wish I could go back and sit beside my younger self, listening to “The Next Episode,” before any of this began. Play him our song. Watch his face when he realizes whose voice is on his record.

And tell him to enjoy every step. Even the years when it feels like nothing is happening.

If you’re reading this wondering whether to give up on your dream, please give yourself another chance. You might be one song away from changing your life. One idea. One more attempt at something you almost walked away from.

I know how hard it is to keep believing in something you can’t see yet. But being unheard doesn’t mean you have nothing to say. And taking longer than you hoped doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Find what you love. Give yourself to it. And remember to live while you’re building your life. There are moments along the way that you’ll miss one day, too.

Where you start doesn’t have to decide how far you go.

Our record is out now:
HUGEL x SNOOP DOGG - H.O.U.S.E 💿🐾
I get to share this moment with the world, but I’d give anything to share it with the kid I was 21 years ago. He’s the reason I’m here. I hope I’ve given him a reason to be proud.

#ChriseanRock and #Blueface’s were kicked out of a haunted house after one of the actors claimed someone from their camp hit him.

I think I’ve found my favorite place in Toronto 🤍 And also my new favorite photography style here – lots of sunshine, water, and a little vintage magic by @vbelovaphoto, bringing out that beautiful vintage poster vibe⚜️ All real, all straight from our heads and hearts. Which photo is your favorite? Because I genuinely can’t decide 🤍
