🚨DYNASTY🚨 💥IS HERE💥 Friends, this is truly the best day of my life. My debut album Dynasty is out in the world and I am so proud to present to you all this narrative of heartbreak, perseverance and awakening. I am a much different person now than I was when I started writing these songs, and this album will always remind me of my growth and this intense journey I have gone through in order to learn how to love and honour my truth. I have so many people to thank! Here are the highlights: @alexander.thibault is the most fearless and loving producer I could ask for. He illuminates my music with his imaginative ears and unique sensitivity to sound and rhythm. The man really GETS ME. He pushes me to discover new things about my voice and musicianship all the time. I love him a lot! I am so indebted to @charlietwitch who created the beautiful album artwork for Dynasty. The artwork they created encapsulates the mood of the album so perfectly - I tear up every time I look at it closely. Please swipe through to look at the details of this work. Even @shihtzuedna is in there! The city in the background is Montreal, because children, mother really brought a big ass piece of China to your backyard and you better be ready to witness. Naturally, I am super grateful for the entire team at @nextdoorrecords, and especially @mmparx who has used her genius to help put my music in front of as many folks as possible. It feels great to be professionally cared for by such a brilliant, cool, well-dressed and driven individual. More thank yous include natural wine daddy & world’s best mastering engineer @evtighe, my wife and celebrity photographer @stacyleephoto and my family for living these stories that became the fodder for Dynasty. Love to my chosen fam for your love and encouragement throughout, and a special shout out to Matthew Otto who downloaded a cracked version of ableton onto my computer a decade ago, gave me a pair of studio monitors and taught me how to produce. Every time a white man invests in a qwoc, a white supremacist is flicked by the hand of God off of the planet 💫 (at Lachine, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2orJPDA4jf/?igshid=1bdbx7z1qyipv
