I remember first starting to release music I was OBSESSED with tracking numbers. The problem was when things didn’t go as planned it heavily affected my mental well-being (that dreaded feeling like I wasn’t succeeding).

We’ll I’m here to tell you there’s SO many ways to measure your success as an artist like having a stranger tell you how your song impacted them.

And dont forget about all the impact you create that you DONT see.

Keep creating fam ❤️

Grateful to have found my passion in drum and bass and also have the ability to share that passion with so many people ❤️

Got this message today and it reminded me that sometimes we get such tunnel vision that we forget the impact we make on others.

Don’t forget to honour your power to make a positive change. ❤️

🌸✨ Building My Brand with the Spirit of Bushido ✨🌸

As I dive deeper into my journey as an artist, I want to take inspiration from my cultural roots, embracing the principles of Bushido—the Samurai code of ethics. These 7 virtues: Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Respect, Honesty, Honor, and Loyalty, guide me both in life and in my music. Here’s how each one shapes my brand and drives my passion for drum and bass:

🎴 Rectitude (Justice): Staying true to myself and the DNB culture is everything. In a world full of noise, I want my music to stand as real, authentic, and unapologetically true. 🎧💥

🎌 Courage: Breaking boundaries requires courage. I’m always looking to explore new sounds and evolve, bringing something fresh to the table with every track. 🍃🌊

🏯 Benevolence (Compassion): Music is about connection. I want to uplift the DNB community by sharing resources and supporting emerging artists so we can all rise together. 🤝🌸

🈶 Respect: Respect for the culture, my audience, and collaborators is at the core of my journey. I aim to show gratitude and build connections that are rooted in appreciation. 🙏🌅

🈺 Honesty: No filter here—just real talk. I believe in sharing both the highs and lows of my journey, giving you a true look behind the scenes. 💬✨

⛩️ Honor: I’m dedicated to honoring my craft. Every track and every performance is a reflection of the respect I hold for DNB culture and my audience. 🎤⚔️

🉐 Loyalty: Loyalty is everything. To every single one of you—whether you’re new here or a day-one supporter—know that my journey is as much yours as it is mine. Let’s keep building this community together. 🌏💫

Taking inspiration from my cultural background allows me to build a brand with integrity, discipline, and purpose. I hope these values resonate with you as much as they do with me. What guides you in your journey? Drop a comment—I’d love to hear it! 👇✨

This last set I played (A multi-genre bass music set) made me realize how much fun 140-150 bpm music is to play.

ABSOLUTELY STOKED to be headlining tonight RAVEYARD - Harbour [Theatre] 😤😤

Going outta my comfort zone for this one and including some dubstep, UKG and 140 (don’t worry I’ll still be dropping some dirty dnb including a few new IDs I’ve been working on) 👀

Can’t wait to show y’all the set I’ve prepped.

Also…

HAPPY RAVE-DAY FAAAAAAM ❤️

So I’m trying to build a brand identity for my artist self and I’m really focused on creating something authentic for my self.

HOWEVER, it’s making me realize I don’t know myself as well as I had thought.

This aritst journey really is a never ending journey of self discovery.

It's crazy to me how fast things can change.

2 years ago I was an opener for a Halloween house music show and this Friday I'm headlining as a drum and bass artist.

You never really know what'll happen on this artist journey.

Thankful today for all the people who love to share the passion for drum and bass ❤️

One of the major goals I had set out to achieve this year was trying to get 100k streams on a single track.

WE SMASHED THAT GOAL TODAY 😤

Thank you to everyone who’s been streaming. It’s truly remarkable to know you are out there listening to the music. ❤️ love yah all

I've recently picked up teaching on music production and I can say it's been some of the most fun I've ever had.

Meeting other aspiring artists and sharing what I've learned from my past experience has been extremely fulfilling and I'm hoping to take on some more students over the next coming weeks.

I also plan on doing a FREE monthly group class on beginner topics around social media, music production and general networking!

If you are an aspiring producer or artist I invite you to join my producer community (I'll be posting more updates through there about the activities we have coming up).

Hope to work with you in the future!

I’ve been focusing a lot of my time and energy on building myself as an artist. It’s been a CRAZY journey so far and I’ve accomplished many things I’ve set my mind to. However, the moments I feel truly content is when my impact positively elevates others.

I'm thinking of starting to get into music production teaching and artist development and helping level up other producers and artists in the game.

If this is something you’d be interested in being a part join my discord for updates on the development of this program :)
