4 years since Wasted Potential. That version of me—struggling, overthinking, trying to find my way—is still in these tracks. Same vocals, same samples, same truth. Just refined. Smoothed out, as I’ve been.
I’ve spent the years since learning what it means to live without wasting my potential. These photos are proof of that. A tiny slice of life. A little chaos, some good times, some quiet moments, some loud cars, and plenty of late nights & early mornings with people who matter.
The remastered version of Wasted Potential is rolling out now. The lesson continues. Link in bio 🔗💽

New 💿: “FORMUOLI” by TSOTSI (PANAROUX & Idaishe) is out now.
Dropped on National No SpongeBob Day. A small and outrageous reminder that sometimes, you need to be Plankton in a world of Spongebobs. Embrace the tiny evil genius inside you. Be outrageous, and have fun doing it. 🧽

I love this. We used to queue up for hours as miscellaneous groupies to catch Danny Seth & Co back when we ran international bedroom zines & PYREX was popping - as @firstsonofsoil said, “SWVNK stay bringing people together”. IYKYK. Virgil put us on to him so early, and now here we are with multiple projects in the bag and endless connections. Still need to post/share the insane web experience & rollout we did for POPSTAR. S/O to this @tbacstudios x @aei.sm thing 🔐

Overwhelming love & support this last week. WASTED POTENTIAL is a sonic embodiment & catharsis of the best & worst moments through my early 20's. All these songs started as journal entries, as spoken word & poems for my sanity. Naturally fell back into music as a form of therapy for myself.

Against us, for us. ● We sought potential; outgrew grandma's sweaters; plotted and prevailed; found inner healing; behold ourselves as we are; dared them all to try us; aligned with the muses; lost & found ourselves; then realised what importance means. Through depression, anxiety, abuse, loneliness, imposter syndrome, alienation, self doubt, misguidance, and the rest. Self realisation, acceptance, & alignment is a powerful force. No more Wasted Potential.
