JAZZ 🎷 I'm still having a hard time believing any of this is real. A few years ago, barefoot, long hair, don't care, we packed out the tiny Bleury bar a few streets away for the first Wednesday of every month for a whole year, before that, I busked outside the festival gates with @adelikatessen_ carrying around a soundsystem in the sweaty Montreal summer - we could hear the music pounding on the other side and even before that, I remember dancing on the giant keyboard looking for my dad's hand when I was done. But this week, I got to do what I love the most in the world with my best friends. I left my phone in my go-bag and I cried on the big stage, I floated around half-naked singing little songs I wrote. I've never been this happy before, ever, ever. I've never seen such a big crowd bounce front to back and while i'm still soaking it in, i'm not going to lie, there’s something inside me that can't wait to top this, again and again and again. It's not going to be easy but, I've never wanted something more in my entire life. Thank u @festivaljazzmtl and every single person that came to shake their thang, YALL ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD 💜🥲 Long live La Musica Popular de Verdun.
