New Music Pt. 2
Hey guys! Have you heard my latest single “YLOG”? It’s available now everywhere you stream music PLUS I released my first ever music video on YouTube! I am currently working on more new music I can’t wait for you to hear, so in the meantime, I hope you enjoy “YLOG”!
Over the last 13-14 years, I have been writing songs and collaborating on music with other artists and what a journey it has been! I have had a couple of cool opportunities I seldom talk about where I got to collaborate with some of my favorite writers. I’ve been wanting to release music for some time as my own artist as it’s been around 7 years or so since I’ve done so. I don’t have a really good reason as to why it’s been so long, and I won’t make up any cute excuse except I’m back and I’m happy to explore the crazy artist world once again!
It’s a little scary on one hand to get back out there and release music under my own name, being that I’ve mostly been writing for other artist and other projects for the last few years. On the other hand, I love expressing myself through my artistry and I am excited to share how I’ve grown and evolved throughout this last season. I’ve got so many songs in the thank - about my faith, relationships and love, dealing with imposter syndrome, working through depression and mental health stuff & more…
I hope you like this song and I super hope you dig the video. Putting myself out there was super fun and the entire video process was a dream! More often than not, I’m behind the camera or on set working on creative direction, so getting to be in front of the camera was so surreal and new for me. We went for a bright, live feel with my favorite colors at the moment. Fun fact: I got super sick when filming day came and there’s some deleted scenes where my runny nose got…well real runny. But thank God for great editing and the magic touches that got it to the final product you’ll get to see!
A little about the song… “YLOG” is a mashup of a few songs I’ve written or co-written with other artists. First you’ll hear “My Strength” written by myself, Israel Houghton, Matthew Edwards, Martha Munizzi and Aaron Lindsey and previously recorded by Israel Houghton(Listen Here). Next you’ll hear ‘Home” written by myself, Joshua Washington, Joel Ortiz and Joris Brunot and previously recorded by Anthony Evans (Listen Here). Last, you’ll hear “Your Love Oh God”, the first song I’ve ever written and released, originally released by Martha Munizzi and myself (Listen Here).
This is just a fun blend of songs set to a lofi, mellow beat and I hope you enjoy it! Check out the video below and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can be the first to know of the new music dropping very soon!
