Hey everyone! I'm back with another update on my life as an independent musician. I've been up to a lot lately, so I thought I'd share some of the highlights with you. I recently uploaded a new design to my merch store. It's a simple but cool T-shirt with some of my favorite colors. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and I've been wearing it all the time. Be sure to check it out and grab one for yourself!
I'm also really excited about my new song, "Safety." It's a hip hop track with 50s drum breaks, they hit hard though!! I'm really proud of the drums on this song, and I think the overall sound is really good. I'm still working on the lyrics, but I'm hoping to have it finished and released within the month.
I've also been learning a lot about mixing my music lately. It's a challenging process, but it's also very rewarding. I'm starting to get to the point where I can mix my own music and get it sounding the way I want it to sound. This is a huge step forward for me, and I'm really excited to see what I can create in the future.
It's important to relax and take it easy as an artist. Otherwise, it's easy to get burned out. I find that getting outside and enjoying nature is a great way to relax and clear my head. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family.
I'm planning to release a new song, "i'm not sure what its called yet," within the month. I'm also working on a few other tracks, and I hope to release a steady stream of new music in the coming months ya kno.
Thanks for reading!

Here are some tips for relaxing and taking it easy as an artist:
- Get outside and enjoy nature, take your headphones and listen to a mix or a work in progress out there, might get a new shift in perspective that you need..
- Spend time with your friends and family. AND TALK ABUOUT MUSIC ONLY
- Take a break from social media. As in look up photos and videos of other people's studios, cool gear always makes me want to get back to mine. It's like looking at somebody eating ice cream, dunno about you but it always makes me go “Awwww now i want some”
- Do something you enjoy that is not related to music. Like music. Or eating. or OR meeting up with other musicians and complaining about music but that you still would rather die than do anything else.
- Get enough sleep. LOL
- Eat healthy foods. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh eat, try that first, then when you do that regular, hopefully you can buy robots that cook for you by then
It's also important to remember that it's okay to take your time and not rush the creative process. There is no need to compare yourself to other artists. Everyone is on their own journey. Just focus on making music that you love.
