One Year of Musical Magic: From “Upside Down” to New Horizons
It’s amazing how time flies when you’re doing what you love. Today marks the one-year anniversary of my first single, “Upside Down.” As I look back on this journey, my heart is filled with gratitude, and I’m bursting with excitement for what lies ahead.
When I released “Upside Down” a year ago, I took a chance on this musical adventure. I didn’t know if people would connect with my music or if I could keep up with the goal of releasing a new song every month. It was a thrilling but uncertain journey, and now, as I reflect, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for your support and love.
Some of you may know that this marked my return to music after an eight-year break. I owe a lot to my wonderful wife, who never gave up on me and played a crucial role in bringing me back to my passion. Her unwavering belief in me has been my driving force.
This past year has been full of firsts. It was my first time sharing my music online, and let me tell you, it’s been a whirlwind of hard work. But every sleepless night, moment of doubt, and drop of sweat has been worth it because of all of you. I can’t express enough how thankful I am for inviting my music into your lives. The connections I’ve made with all of you have been truly incredible.
One of the most beautiful parts of this journey has been having my daughter and wife by my side. They’ve not only appeared in my music videos but have also been my unwavering support, constantly pushing me forward.
As we bid farewell to this year of releases, I’m excited to share my plans for the future. I’ll be releasing new music every two months, allowing me to put more heart and soul into each song and strengthen the bond with all of you. My hope is for my daughter to witness the hard work it takes to chase dreams, showing her that relentless effort can make anything possible.
Together, we’ve achieved milestones that once felt distant. We’ve reached an incredible 200,000 views on my YouTube channel, and the “Take Me Back” music video has touched 50,000 hearts. We’ve even had radio play in Australia and the UK and garnered thousands of monthly listeners on streaming services. But more than numbers, we’ve become a close-knit family united by our love for music. It’s only us
To support my journey as an independent artist, I’ve recently launched new merchandise for you to explore. Your support means the world to me, as I don’t rely solely on streaming for my livelihood.
A special thank you to my amazing team: my wife Kirsten, who keeps me organized and listens to all my ideas, Rick Salt, who records the songs and adds his musical talent, Joel, who brings enchanting elements to the music, Phil, who provides the rhythmic foundation with his drums, and Teus, who worked on nine of my mesmerizing music videos.
I’m filled with anticipation for the year of music ahead, and I can confidently say that there are no limits to where this journey can take us. Together, we’re independent, and together, we’re an unstoppable force. Sending lots of love to all of you, and a heartfelt Thanksgiving wish to my Canadian family. 🎶🍁

Its only us ✌🏻
