2023 Wrapped
Well, not exactly wrapped, as there are still a few weeks left in the year. However, a certain popular streaming service has determined it is time to send out their Christmas cards of what you all have listened to, and who is listening to our music. So, I felt it was a fitting time to… More »

Hope all is good by all of you. It’s been exciting times here and there’s a lot to plug in terms of my own music, but that’s not what I’m writing about today. Spotify is in the process of changing its policies for how it pays artists. There are several things all happening at the… More »
