Between 2021 and 2023 I spent an absurd amount of time in Animal Crossing (like the rest of the world), but I haven't played in almost 2 years. Super excited to have that obsession reawakened come January and the massive surprise update! Time for island life again!

So my aunt was murdered when I was 6, and her killer is up for parole - please consider signing this to keep him off the streets: sign.moveon.org/petitions/de...

Even though most might know me through what I'm doing in the community, I'm also an somewhat artist.

Surprising, I know!

Today I'd like to remind you about my music - experimental beats that tell a story without any words.

You can find me on TIDAL & everywhere else!

I'll share some links below ⬇️

Today I'm writing with a personal request..

After I heard that the CEO of Spotify invested in an AI company that enhances military weapons I didn't really know what to do with that at first. Spotify was THE platform for me that created revenue from my music and with this also for Spotify itself.

To give up making art is to give up hope. It’s to silently admit to ourselves that there’s no future... ...that our days to come are so bleak that we might as well quit now and roll over to help the tank treads roll over us that much easier.

Going out of your comfort zone is a good thing, right? Right? o.o

Anyway.. it is out in the wild now and you can listen to it pretty much everywhere. I created a list with some places where you can buy and/or listen to the song:

It's great to see creators with influence have principles and use their platform to take a stand on important issues, and not just make every post/appearance about self-promo. YtG here for example, but also Green Day, Finneas, Tom Morello, Doechii, and more.

My new song "This Feeling" will be out in 2 weeks on June 13th!

It's very special to me as I added something I thought I'd never add..

You can pre-save and pre-order it here already: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

As #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth winds down, remember that mental health is just as important as physical health. If you're struggling, see a professional, they can help. Go to therapy, take your meds, get support. And remember:

You are loved.
You are needed.
You are enough.
