PUERTO RICO BABY 🇵🇷🎹 🎥: @darionduncan Saying this experience had many full circle moments is an understatement. There are too many to account for but here are a few! Like many of us, @israelhoughton ’s music influenced who I am as a musician today. To even play a tiny part of the sonic pallet of this incredible legacy is beyond me. Outside of the coritos I learned as a kid, Friend of God was the first song I ever truly learned on bass. So now, to be able to play those songs with the man himself and not only that, but to also be apart of the legacy of live recordings that have influenced generations, is something I will carry for the rest of my life. I got to share the stage with my cousin @unifiedsoundmusic which was completely iconic. Being ten years apart, Joey has always been the person I wanted to be when I was growing up. From touring, producing and being an incredible family man, Joey, you’ve been the perfect example for me to see what being faithful to your mission and obedient to God’s word can look like. I’m insanely blessed to not only call you a cousin, but a mentor and friend. Love you bro! Crazy to think that @aaronmosesofficial and I made an arrangement years ago for “Nadie Cómo Tu” for a whole other event that fell through. It will now be on a live record that will live forever. Partnered with moments of my brother @jadencbaker arrangement of the song, this will be unreal. All this to say, God is faithful. He knows every step you take before you take them and sometimes decisions you took throughout life all meet at the same time and place. For me, it was in Puerto Rico on April 3rd 2026. This day felt like a perfect bookmark to life thus far. I’ve already started on living in the “what’s next” part of life and I’ll say it here first, it’s beyond what I could ever imagine but I can’t dismiss and not celebrate what God’s already done. Grateful.

Life’s been kind the last few months. 1. In my unc era 2. Rehearsal | Showtime 3. Joy and Honor @taurenwells @thewhitebelts 4. Rockin with my brudda @uriahzeph (Ft. @_strawder smackin them drums) 5. Huge honor to develop the @jamiemacdonald show. 6. Arranging for auntie 7. Movie stuff and lifting up my brudda @garrettptyler (@holamoriah your laugh being on beat gets me 😂) 8. I love my niece! 9. Dream synth 10. “Happy go lucky” lookin head ah Side note… it’s my birthday today This time last year I was facing what felt like unending loss. I was dealing with losing mom to ALS, friendships I cared about and a shift in work after touring for four years straight. All in a span of a few months! I felt such a deep sadness I never felt before and joy seemed impossible to feel. This year, I’m facing deep grief with the sudden passing of my sister some months ago. The thing is now, I can see joy in my niece’s smile. I can feel joy when I play music alongside friends. I can give joy back to friendships I’m building. I’m not going to sit here and preach how I got to this difference. I’ll let the billion other people on this app drown you with info on “how to get your joy back” lol I’ll just leave this gem here from one of my favorite books. “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” Here’s to 31 and to carrying both joy and sorrow 🥂

Closing out 2025 with the musicians who inspired us! PT.1 We’re kicking things off by sharing 3 musicians that moved us this year now it’s your turn! 🤝 Drop your 3 favorite musicians of 2025 in the comments and let’s celebrate the musos that have shaped our year together. 💥 1) @thejoshfoster 2) @whostheguitarist 3) @dlopez_ #musicianexp_ #2025wrapped

at :48, we’re the score for the laser war above lol Those moog lines are funny to me because those were lines I spontaneously played on my first show almost 5 years ago. When I became MD 3 years ago, I made it apart of the actual arrangement, meaning my bandmates now jump in on those lines. I can’t hear the song without them now! #musician #moog #groove #musicians

pumped to play alongside this crew again. It’s been a long year since we’ve played a show together but we’re almost back. Using these in ear mixes and videos to take the rust off before rehearsals start. also, for my bass nerds, I’m running the bass through the @neuraldsp quad cortex. It lives side stage and sound changes are being automated through ableton. #groove #musician #musicianlife
