So had my 1st show performance almost a week ago, got the opportunity for a holiday event at a lil venue n made $200 - me n a few other artists were performing

Made a thread about it here:

ktt2.com/i-spent-my-very-1st-show-money-on-a-new-bed-32594075

• I performed these 4 songs in this order

Feel What's Real

Come On Over

A New Light

To Your Neighbor

And then I had instrumental snippets of Wash My Hands for transitions and my introduction

Wish I had footage but I got the opportunity very last minute, but it was great! My 1st time ever performing on a stage, and my 2nd time being on a stage period (I was a filled in photographer for a music friend of mine as they performed at a concert hall back when I still worked in person at a music studio for production and mixing/mastering).

I've been busy with holiday stuff and family and personal things that's been keeping me at the moment (and I basically live in two states, CA and AZ going back n forth constantly), but more behind the scenes and animation videos will still be coming for YT and socials. Haven't forgot nor it's it over yet, but the holiday season has been crazy and November was a bad month for me health wise, thankfully I'm over that health hump for now.

• This is also still super early n I haven't said it anywhere else, but I think the title for the next album will be called "And We Still Alive" - which is also a throwback to my very first music share of TFIF where I do DJ drops for the music snippet compilation and that's one of the lines I say throughout it

A session I just finished up, I've been playing around with power chords more.

Also I love the Aeolian scale - it might be my fav music scale/mode

Havent bumped yet, but im sure it's AOTD.

May the music gods bless water giver forever

Aww, ty bro - I appreciate the support n attention 🥹

When u do get a chance to listen, lemme know what u think itt. The album just came out in October, it's my own first personal project released (besides a beat tape I did way back in High School at like 15 or sumn years old ) n I did all the mixing/engineering, singing/writing/concept & production worked on since 2023 in CA and AZ - me n a friend made the main coverarts n I made the singles art n videos

Rn is a cool down period but there is more to come next year and the next album is already in very early stages, and this time I will have features n full music videos!

It's gotten good reception on n off ktt2 and has gotten me in conversations and respect with some very cool ppl, n I just did my first show not too long ago

This project was like a showcase of what I can do just by myself n basically no budget, n it opened some doors for me already, next one is going even harder 😤😤🙏

Blender 5.0 is pretty fye btw

I finally updated, iirc the update came out a month or two ago, but it's cleaner and a bit more simple - doing a practice build rn to learn the new ropes before I start making lil animations again

I think I've made the first real beat for the next album 🫣🤧

Me n a homie learned what Gross Beat's Slow Triplet preset (my fav GS setting) is doing and it's lowering your sound by 5 semitones (5 notes on piano roll/keyboard) along with an automated delay and reverb effect - now that I know that I can do the GS effect but with full control and flexibility now

Also, mixing the very first vocals laid down from the sessions of the next album! just in time before the year is over with, and many more to come next year

Was gone from ktt2 for like a week, was out shakin ass this holiday season

Went golfing and to some houses of cool music ppl, some bars n restaurants too

Also got paid for an in person mixing job for one of them, I really want to do more of these jobs in person and with the actual artist there - it's so much better than doing it from home with phone contact, or in a studio by yourself

Now back home 🤧

Literally right before the new year comes in, I finished the very first chorus for the 2nd album and officially started its creation process 😈🗣️

@insertcoolnamehere @Aquilla @Jbreezyondeck @Smoky_mirror_11 @aeternitatis @mos_def @fka_sebastien

Idk when it's gonna be done but it's officially moving now

A lil snippet for the new year, I appreciate yall 🎊🕛

Another drop alright 2026 we ride

Atm this time I'm tryna go real anthemic, TFIF got my foot in some doors and got ppl to take me serious now it's time to blow the door fully off

Album is called And We're Still Alive and thinking 12 tracks - 2026/2027, going more into the synthpop direction with a bit more traditional structure but still wanna retain some house and Disco elements n some of the loose-ness from TFIF

Thinking 10 tracks and two remixes with feats to two songs from TFIF of Feel What's Real and To Your Neighbor, but we'll see, anything can happen or change

And happy new year!

Keep me posted as usual with the updates. Much love and be safe brother may 2026 be prosperous for us all

Ty, and I will - same to you and if you're going out tonight be safe!

More Life

It’s the same thing, just a different day 💪🏾

Happy New year Broski, bless up

Happy New Year to my other guys on here that I'm either really cool with and/or as a poster I just fuxx with, I don't think I'm gonna be on ktt2 as much in 2026 (I will still be around tho, in and outside my own threads) but I appreciate yall in general and hope you had a good last night ☺️
