New SWAG for my wall! ✨ Eternally grateful to @lilbieber and fam for bringing me along for this incredible ride. I spent much of 2024/25 recording pre-production and songwriting sessions with Justin (and his insanely talented producer/artist friends) in several private studio installations throughout the U.S. Utterly unforgettable. Justin is the kindest, warmest, most talented artist ever, and I’m so blessed to have been a part of his SWAG and SWAG II albums. The memories and epic jams will bring a smile to my face for the rest of my days! 🙏🎛️🎚️🎷

👉 Link in bio for a deeper dive into my SWAG journey.

Justin Bieber’s SWAG 💿
So grateful to have contributed to this album!

Between the Fall of 2024 and Spring of 2025 I had the incredible honor and pleasure of working with the incomparably talented, kind, inspiring @lilbieber.

I recorded hundreds of hours of pre-production and writing sessions, built so many cool studios, traveled all over the U.S., recorded and rubbed shoulders with icons, made tons of new friends, and even jammed on sax from time to time. 🎷🤯

Every moment was about supporting the creative process and making sure nothing got lost. Justin and his team were absolutely amazing! 💜
