‘Hyperrealism’ LP out now
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
it’s officially december and we’re about to listen to mariah carey and eat æbleskiver for a month straight & I personally love this season. ❄️☃️not only is it xmas month, it’s also my birthday tomorrow AND this is the exact time 2 years ago that I put out my debut album, ‘you again’. I’ve been really emotional putting this little slide show together cause I can almost FEEL that time of my life like I was there again. first off, I can’t believe I did all this shit and how much has happened since. I won’t get into the sappy details but this album was really hard to make & finish and it took a big personal toll on me (and @peteranthonyred who was a vital part of it from start to finish). from putting it all together after being kicked out of the states to releasing it with no promotion, money or real help behind. from shifting into my own sound and owning the role of being a producer (produced 10 out of 12 songs on it) to making all the content, videos, pics and hosting a release show right before xmas. running on fumes and low energy, like I always do because I live and breath this dream for better or worse. my self esteem dropped so hard when I finally set this baby free and I had a really hard time building my self up again after it. a sensation I think most artists face regularly, something I’m going through a little bit again recently, unfortunately. only this time I know that it truly is all a part of the process and that I have to have the lows to have the highs. and I know that my self esteem and creativity will blossom again just like it did FULL STEAM after this record and these last 2 years. now I can look back at this album with happy tears in my eyes, I wanna go back & hold that tired, insecure, doubtful girl in her hand and say “YOU’RE A FUCKING BOSS. you did this! just you wait and see where you are musically and personally 2 years from now. don’t lose hope🌟” maybe this album didn’t do much in terms of charts, fame & all those things we all kinda dream of, but it was a milestone in my life & my fjer project is better because of it. I also know it meant a lot to some of u. happy bday “you again” and thank you for being here💜
