little me would be losing her mind right now. 🩵

officially made my @bluebirdcafetn debut, and i’m still trying to wrap my head around that sentence.

there are certain places you dream about playing when you first start chasing this crazy thing called music, and the bluebird has always been one of those places for me. to finally find myself sitting in that room, sharing songs i’ve poured so much of myself into, was one of those full circle moments i wish i could bottle up forever.

sometimes you get so caught up in where you’re trying to go that you forget to look around and appreciate how far you’ve already come. this was one of those sweet little reminders. 🥹

so much love for the sweetest round of humans i got to share this with, everyone who came to listen, and the people who have believed in me through every season of this journey.

little me, look what we did. :’) ♡

We’re proud to share @thejasonmccoy’s new single and music video, “We Are One,” created in partnership with @worldvisioncan.

Filmed in Zimbabwe during Jason’s recent trip with World Vision Canada & @michellewrightmusic, the video brings the heart and message of this song to life. 🧡

Jason also has some of his friends from the music community joining him on this special track!

A powerful song. An unforgettable experience. One message: We Are One.

Today’s the day… “We Are One” is out now! 🇿🇼

This one means a lot to me. Our trip to Zimbabwe with @worldvisioncan changed the way I hear this song. Meeting the people, seeing the work firsthand, and experiencing that trip has stayed with me long after we came home.

We filmed the music video during that same trip, and I’m so excited to finally get to share it with you. A bunch of good friends also jumped in to help me bring the song to life, which made it even more special.

Watch the video now at my link in bio! 🎥

And if you’re coming out to the Great Canadian Roadtrip Tour this fall, World Vision Canada will be joining us along the way to share more about our trip and the incredible work they’re doing.

Thanks for listening, sharing, and being part of it.

We are one. 🧡

Being an independent, upcoming musician sometimes you don’t really know what the next words or the next steps to get where you’re going are gonna be. But, with a bit of direction from @farmtunes and some long ass writes with @dericruttan , you find the next step in the process! So here’s 3 songs I wrote inspired by chasing dreams and love for a woman that I wanna share with everybody! Thank you to everyone who helped along the way and to Buddy The Dog for being so godamn photogenic. Link in bio, I hope you enjoy!❤️ -N
