Over 8 years ago, Kati gave me actionable advice that sent me down the road of being who I wanted to be. It’s been a messy (and, at times, corny) “be-honest-to-myself” several years. The first couple years definitely had some challenging growing pains, but I am so friggin’ grateful to ‪@Katimorton‬ for the wisdom and my younger self for listening. I just finished work on my dream gig, moved to an immensely upgraded home and just genuinely happier than I’ve been in my adult life. Thank you Kati, and congratulations on the release of your new book “Why Do I Keep Doing This?”…all the best to all of us 🤘

This year, my music definitely reached higher heights in the states…but the rest of the world, particularly Korean television, REALLY loved me ❤️ Thank you for an incredible year, I just finished up an even bigger project that will be rolling out next year (most of which features some of my most talented songwriting and music friends I had the opportunity to recruit) 🤘

So happy to (finally) be able to share that music I composed in Q4 of last year (re: vague post back on NYE similar to the first photo in this post) for the YouTube Audio Library is now available in any creator’s YouTube Studio under the “Audio Library” tab. You can search my name to find the first 10 tracks (or currently, see them at the top of the list).

I worked with representatives from various large video game developers as well as several prominent gaming streamers to create music that could be looped for live streaming or chopped up and rearranged for YouTube videos of any kind. This has been an exciting (and intimidating) project to work on and stretched me far beyond my comfort zone of pop music.

A handful of selected creators got early access to these tracks and the feedback has already been overwhelmingly positive. Many many many many more tracks I composed a couple years ago will be releasing through the coming months AND I’m currently working on even more new music for them as I post this.
I hope y’all make incredible content with my music, and use it as much as you want free of charge and royalty free courtesy of YouTube!
