What's good, Newgrounds? I haven't posted a whole lot here lately, but I hope y'all been well. I usually dislike making these types of posts, but I've hit a crossroads at this point. First off, I wanna thank y'all for all the support that's came my way since my Granddad's passing in 2024. It's been rough trying to be creative since, but all the condolences and kind words were much appreciated.

Currently, I've been going through a shift in life, and I've been trying to work on more music and other projects. However, I've fallen so behind and can't focus on my business/passion due to my day jobs, in spite of my best efforts, and I'm not happy with where I'm at now. So if you want to get exclusive access to projects I'm working on before anyone else, and help me make progress on not having to rely on a day job anymore, I have a Patreon where I post exclusives every month, plus early access to tracks and demos before the public can hear them. There's both a free option and a $5 tier to get new tracks and remixes. If you can't/don't want to commit to a monthly subscription, I also have a Ko-Fi as a tip-jar, and if you need music for your own personal projects, I also do commissions via Ko-Fi as well. And of course, there's Bandcamp and other sites to get my music directly.

But there's no pressure to do any of that. Just spreading word about my music to your friends/families helps a whole lot, costs nada, and gets me one step closer to being fully independent from slaving in food service for the rest of my life. :v

it hasn't been all bad though. A Sonic R/Craig David mashup I did got the attention of TJ Davis (singer on the Sonic R OST), and we've been talking, so there might be something coming from that in time...

Thanks for reading, and I'll see y'all soon.
