This past weekend, I had the honor of performing at the Blue Note in New York City. Looking out into a sold out room, I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey.

From recording videos in my house with a dream and a violin, to selling out the Blue Note and venues across the United States, this has been nothing short of a blessing.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to support, especially my family for always being in my corner. Having them there made the moment even more special. And to my wife, who has always stood beside me through every step of this journey, thank you for your unwavering love, support, and belief in me.

A special thank you to Gayle King for attending the show and for the encouragement and support you’ve shown throughout the years. It means more than you know.

And to my band! Thank you for bringing your talent, passion, and professionalism to every stage we step on together. You help make these moments possible.

There are so many people who have been a part of this journey, and I don’t take any of it for granted. I’m grateful for every ticket purchased, every video shared, every message sent, and every person who has believed in what we’re building.

The journey continues. ❤️🎻

2025 was a year of heartbreak and learning. Of unlearning bad habits, sitting with myself, and truly getting to know who I am and what I want. It was full of God’s blessings, teachable moments, plenty of travel, reconnecting with family and friends, finding new ones, and pursuing goals I never thought I’d achieve.

2025 was the year I bet on myself loving myself, being true to me, setting boundaries, and no longer playing with the value I carry. It was a building year in every sense.

As we step into 2026, I’m beyond grateful to God for carrying me here and for the people in my life who make it all worth living. This year taught me that life is meant to be lived and since we only get one, we might as well live the heck out of it. ✨

Grateful for this beautiful island and even more grateful for the people I got to experience it with. 🇵🇷

Visiting Puerto Rico for the first time was more than just a trip, it was a return to something I’ve always carried inside me. To walk the same land my family comes from, to hear the music, taste the food, feel the warmth of the people… it all felt so familiar, even though I had never been here before. Experiencing this with my family made it even more special, laughing, exploring, and reconnecting together with a culture that runs deep in our blood. Puerto Rico didn’t just welcome us, it embraced us. I’ll carry this feeling with me forever!
