Hello again everyone, and a Happy New Year! Just wanted to make a post talking about the plans for the upcoming year and how I'm going to be approaching things.
2024 was a year of experimentation and trying out a lot of new stuff to expand my palette as a musician. I wanted to prove that I was capable of more than I'd done in previous years and I had a chance to work with some incredible people, dip my toes into new worlds and original music that I never would've considered before, and had the most successful year of my music-making career to date. And it really means so much that so many of you supported and stuck with me through it all.
But, I also know it could've been better. I was a lot less frequent with my uploads than in prior years because of this, I had a tendency to plan way too far ahead and not account for things that may force me to change my expected plan of releases and uploads (both personally and as part of work for other projects), and I'm more than aware that a majority of my success last year in regards to raw numbers can be traced back to the release of Hazbin's first season giving me a lot of traction and attention to my music by osmosis.
In 2025, I want to make sure that I'm not only more frequent in releasing music than 2024, but that I'm also not planning so far ahead unrealistically. I'm going to make sure I'm only promoting things that are on the horizon of being completely finished before I talk about them to prevent things being dragged out, as well as being set on when you can hear what I've been working rather than some nebulous idea of "coming soon".
To that end, I can confirm that the next two songs from me personally ARE nearly finished and both of them have been highly requested by a lot of you. The first of these I am going to aim to release to coincide with Hazbin's 1 year anniversary, with the second shortly afterwards. There are other things in the works, of course, but I'll be ready to talk about those in more detail when I'm able to/they're finished.
Thank you all again for continuing to support me throughout all of this. Making a living out of the music I do is hard and can be stressful, and I do worry more than I should about whether I'm doing 'enough' for you as my audience. But every pleasant comment or show of appreciation, even on some of my lesser viewed work, really means a lot. I hope I can continue making things you all like in the coming year and beyond.
