Hey music family,
As I stepped into the new world of turning 50, it got me thinking about legacy, purpose, and when I should finally fill out my Aunt Judy’s AARP sign-up form, ha! 😁 But also, how I want to move forward as an artist. Starting now, my past music is moving to a donation-based model. You choose what you pay, with just small minimums to cover Stripe fees and shipping costs.
This feels like the right way to close one season before the new album Bring Back the Love begins the next.
Pricing worked well for years. This is about obedience and freedom. Obedience to the quiet voice in my morning devotion, and freedom to offer the music in a way that feels on beat with where I am now.
I also shared a Mix 1 version of the first single ‘Out in the Sunshine’ on YouTube, just for folks to enjoy. The final mastered version will be on the upcoming Bring Back the Love album. That project will likely have a set price and may return to platforms like Spotify, since it's fresh and carries a different energy. We shall see.
But for all my previous work from 2012-2024? That's my thank-you. That’s how I’m marking turning 50, with an open hand and a big heart. So come thru and get some life music to hold you over while we work together to bring the new #bbtl to life.
Special thanks to Renee, Ti, LaMont, Jeremy and Lisa E for being among the early supporters of the album.
This next chapter is about giving in new ways, and trusting the music will reach exactly who it's meant to. Thank you Yah for my portion, and thank you all for rocking with me.
🧡 ya!
🎵😍🎸
