So I've been taking much needed time to myself the last couple days... I've been doing a lot of reflecting on tour, music, and life..
The #SomewhatSoberTour ended in my hometown last Friday and you may or may not know.. I received my first Gold plaques as well as the news that I've also went Platinum for my songs "When The Drugs Don't Work" & "Nikki Sixx"... As an independent artist from Columbus, Ohio I know how HUGE this is not only for myself but for the city I come from!
I'm officially the very FIRST INDEPENDENT ARTIST from Columbus to achieve this goal and let me tell y'all I am still lost for words! For those of y'all who watched this journey from the very beginning and stuck by me all these years, I owe you everything! So many trials and tribulations came with chasing this dream but 1 day like this makes everything worth it... I wanted to give up so many times... especially as an Ex-drug addict, I never would've thought that I could make it this far and to see it is still truly unbelievable to me.
If @hylyte would've never found me in that studio on 225 Fairway blvd that day this would've never happened...
If y'all would've never streamed my music like you do/did, this would've never happened...
If y'all would've never went to work to spend your hard earned money on a ticket to my show, just to stand in a line outside in the freezing cold, just to see me perform time and time again, this would've never happened...
The truth is.. this isn't just a win for me... This is for all my supporters... and Not only is this a win for ALL OF US, but we are all now a part of HISTORY!! I couldn't be more thankful to share this moment with all of you! I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. YALL MADE THIS POSSIBLE!!
If you ever feel like giving up, I want you to look at my story and know that DREAMS DO COME TRUE and no matter what situation your in, there's light at the end of the tunnel!
Doobie
