It always sounds cliche, but It really is crazy to think that thereās 100 of you out there reading this. The same way I thought it was incredible that 100 people were listening to my mixes all those years back. Fast forward to now, the community is growing and believe me Iām thankful. Over the years, Iāve subconsciously created a community with the intention of being as authentic as possible, unearthing music that I thought the world needed to hear, trying new things and exploring new ways of putting music together.
These mixes have always reflected life and where I was spiritually and mentally at the time of recording, which is a beautiful thing. As soon as I press play, Iām recording in that moment everything Iāve felt up until that point. Because of that, I always felt like I had more to say outside of the music in a longer form format that I couldnāt articulate on socials as easily. So I jumped on Substack!
Iām not entirely certain where Iām going with this post but I just think its amazing that we have this platform to share ideas, write, think, create outside of the everyday. Itās also just a great opportunity to thank everyone and to thank YOU personally if youāre reading this. Iāve always enjoyed reflective writing and blogging about things Iām passionate about and if people listen / read then its a bonus. This is the policy Iāve always gone by, I make things wholeheartedly for myself - I also make things that I myself would want to hear and see in the world.
I try to lead by example and do things intentionally in this life, its not always the smoothest and easiest road or a road that everyone will be on board with but as mentioned, I make things for myself first and foremost because I truly believe that your art has to be for yourself first. Thank you wherever you are on this Earth.
Peace,
