I didn't know that Clair Obscur Expedition 33 would be a story about exploring grief and what it does to the people around you.

During my playthrough I lost my dear friend to a horrible accident.

This game helped me process that grief. Thank you @sandfallgames.bsky.social and I miss you Dennis 💕

There's a scene in Detroit Opera's android inspired "Cosi fan tutte" set in Detroit where I am playing videogames, so I suggested they get a copy of Detroit: Become Human as it is literally about androids and Detroit. Now I just get to play it whenever we're on a break 😂

Hello Motor City!

It's my first time in Detroit and I'm so excited to be making my house debut AND role debut in Cosi fan tutte with Detroit Opera 💕

Yuval Sharon always has a fascinating new take on the classics, and it's exciting to see what opera can be.

Any Detroit recs?

Guess who's dusting off the ol' flute to head back to the Metropolitan Opera next season?!

(It's me)

Trump has elected a host of sycophants to the board of the Kennedy Center and they've just elected him as their Chair.

This is fucking capital F Fascism at work. They're taking the nation's artistic institution and putting their hand over its mouth to control what it says.

When's enough enough?

I look away for TWO SECONDS and Spirit Halloween has already moved into my TikTok. Do they have no shame?

This is the type of communal energy I'm bringing to 2025.

"My Brother's Keeper" comes out this year, and I cannot wait to share this beautiful collaboration with the world 💕

This is a once in a lifetime chance to make this SpongeBob joke.

Happy 2025! 2024 was a fucking ride, but we're here on the other side a little wiser, more tired, and way less tolerant of bullshit. Lean on your people this year, that's what makes being human beautiful. Nobody has to do it alone 💕

21 days and 8 performances of Handel's "Messiah" later, I'm finally on my holiday break! Last night's sold out concert at Carnegie Hall was the perfect way to end a whirlwind few weeks of music, community, and lots of good eats.

Now for a few well earned days of rest before the next gig 💕

The literal next post I saw after this was for a new one-page TTRPG that's *definitely* not about hunting down a CEO. It might not be a flash game but the spirit is still alive and well!

I really loved "Klara and the Sun" by Kazuo Ishiguro. This was my first delve into his work and I can't wait to read more. I'm always fascinated by the concept of humanity, our rituals, our similarities, our differences, and to view humanity through the lens of an outsider (Klara) was really neat!

I love our chaotic little fae-ass piano corner and I miss it every time I have to leave home 💕🎶

Off to Phoenix for another 4 "Messiah's" with the Phoenix Symphony!

It's objectively wild to be told my music has been streamed almost a quarter of a million times in 2024, and EXTREMELY telling to our times that my cover of Nina Simone's rendition of Strange Fruit is peoples most streamed song of the year.

Top countries: France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, & Mexico

How it feels when my wife tells the waiter they've brought me the wrong food so I don't have to tell them myself 💕

Tis the season for matching PJs, an abundance of cranberry sauce (canned of course), and not having to answer questions about my love life because I'm already married and my wife is here with me!

Tonight, 8pm, Kaufman Music Center in New York City.

I'm so truly humbled and inspired by the incredible men who have come together to make this concert such a unique, potent love letter to Black men in our industry. I've said it before but never meant it so strongly, you do not want to miss this!
