When I wrote ‘Seasons’ in summer of 2023, I wrote it for my own catharsis and sanity. I would soon after be dropped by my label, only a few months after an emotionally intense breakup, and what to follow would be the hardest moments of my life. I was the most unstable financially that I have ever been in my life, my art was going under the radar, and my career was in jeopardy. Around the fall in 2023, I went into my dropbox folder with hundreds of demos and found one idea that I would feel comfortable sharing without any attachment to it. That was the original demo of ‘Seasons’. I shared the snippet that you know today last year and saw the first spark that showed this was a sound that was missing, a feeling that was desired by the community. In the springtime, I tried to pivot my attention to survival. I started working odd jobs as a production assistant for TV shows, and hustling for creative director roles that never landed. I would write music sparingly in this time, and start to focus my attention on how I could be sustainable at such a time of hardship. By summer, I finally finished and released the song that would change my life forever. At this time, I didn’t know how much it would change for myself. I’ve been releasing music for ten years, and working professionally in the industry for seven years without much attention in the wider spectrum of it all. Around this same time, I was on verge of being evicted from my home. I would borrow enough money from friends to pay both sides of the rent for the balances that were left behind, with full belief from my friends that I would be able to pay it back. In no way that I could have predicted, October of this year, my life changed in a matter of weeks. A full year after I first previewed ‘Seasons’, the song began to uptick in the art that you all would create using it as your sound clip used in the videos. All of your stories, your personalities, your moments that you would share needed a soundtrack and you chose my music of all the songs you could have found. I don’t know how to end this really, other than just expressing my complete gratitude and thankfulness for finding my music, saving my life at a time where it absolutely needed saving. A song that was originally written as my catharsis, became a universal feeling that could be shared globally around the world, and create a community of people that would come together to find peace in art that they can see themselves in. In 2025, I aspire to see you all on tour, release a ton of more music than I did this year, and live a life that feels better than the last one I was living. Thank you so much for giving me light, I’m excited to pay it forward 10 times over.
