friendship 2024… that was the greatest experience of my life… just wow. thank u 🙏
——-
Honestly a week later I am still trying to find more words for what we just experienced. Finally coming up for air and able to post on my own TL. I am overwhelmed with pride and joy. @destructoamf always talked about his true vision for what this ship could be, and I think we finally brought that vision fully to life this year…
I am so grateful to be a part of a team capable of producing something so magnificent. And so thankful for The Friendship Family that we have cultivated who always show up for us and ride with us through all of it… we really do everything for all of you guys... thank u for trusting us.
thank u to the family for coming out to my sets, and being so down to dance all week long.

Felt like the usual Downlo set would be a little too hard before @theglitchmob so we gave em the Bay Area underground special and welcomed @mimosamuzik for a tasty lil b2b. 😈
Unreal vibes.
This was a special one for me because TGM is one of the largest reasons I got into doing all that I do in music. Truly an honor.

I’ve been making memories here for my entire adult life, and I’ve dreamed of the moment I’d get to make my debut as an artist for even longer than that.
The time has come. We’re here, and we are playing on the fucking @thepagodastage with an absolutely stacked lineup of legends and homies.
We have so many epic memories to make. I hope to see so many of you there. Thank you @dirtyskid for the chance to rock. Let’s do it big on the PA🐐A!!!
Made it around the sun 30 times last week🙏🥷
Thanks for the endless bday love!!! Life’s a trip but somehow we are still JUST getting started.

Usually a birthday feels like the end of a chapter, but this one feels like the end of a book before we start a new one. And I can’t wait to spend the next 10 years writing these next stories with all of you. 20 year old me would be staring in awe, and so proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but the best truly is yet to come, and I am so excited for the future. The amount of plans already in motion for this year alone got me grinning ear to ear 🥹
Moving from Seattle to LA and SF - the family I’ve gained along the way is truly special, and I hope we’re all screaming jokes at eachothers deaf ears when we are old and wrinkly. Thanks for being a part of this journey and thanks for all the bday love, family.
XOXO <3
FriendShip…. It’s been hard to find words that quite fit the end of such a special chapter. After 5 days of MUCH needed R&R I still can hardly figure it out beyond “I am so thankful” 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve had the honor of doing a lot of things in this industry, but none of them have been even close to as special as this. My heart is so full.
The last 6+ years of my life have been anchored by this beautiful festival and all who attend, and I would not have had it any other way.
this team has become a second family to me. What we have been able to create will be impossible to replicate until the end of time. We are not owned by a big corporation, we are run by passion and deep love for this incredible culture. I am endlessly proud.
Thank you SHIPFAM for the beautiful community aboard @thefriendshipofficial
Thank you @destructoAMF for trusting me to be a part of this vision at such a large capacity
Thank you to all the artists and friends who trusted us enough to let us take you out into the middle of the ocean because “there’s an insane party here I swear”
Thank you for always coming to my sets and shaking ass in the name of trap music
Thank you to the best little team in the world for consistently going above and beyond what we all think is possible, and pushing each other to be great.
I don’t know exactly when we’ll all be together again, but I promise it will be great.
The end of a chapter is not the end of the book. This is not goodbye, it’s just transition. See you soon ❤️
XOXO

Last year was a wild ride. Had some of my highest highs but also some lowest lows (not the Downlo kind). Traveled all over the country, met tons of new amazing people and found myself doing things I never imagined possible when I was 18. And all I have to say is that I am grateful for it all.
I rediscovered parts of me I loved and lost some as well. Been a little hard on myself lately, especially in regards to keeping in touch and updating all my friends on life, but one thing is for sure, I spent many moments with many amazing people all year long and I will cherish the memories we made
And once again I failed my resolution of remaining consistent with posting about it. So here’s a dump of some of those adventures and people!
Here’s to 2026 and continuing to push on doing what we love and making dreams become reality and most importantly doing it with people we care about..
XOXO let’s crush
Brownies & Jet Fuel 🫡🥷🙏 Thank you Seattle.
I actually can’t believe we got a Blue Angels flyby during my set. Seattle you are so special. Always one of the best shows and the best people of the year. Thanks for always welcoming me back with open arms. XO ❤️

Finally coming up for air for a lil FriendShip ‘25 dumparooski. 🛳️🙏
@thefriendshipofficial …just wow…. what an incredible year. I don’t know how it keeps getting better but it does. My cup is so full rn. Seeing everyone come together and break down barriers, form new connections and create forever memories together is why we do it. And I hope we can do this event until we’re all old and wrinkly.
The culture on board is beyond special to me… the ship family is incredible, and it’s truly all for you guys... Thank you for trusting us on this journey.😍
Played 2x of my favorite sets ever, made so many new friends and strengthened bonds with so many old ones. And yet I STILL can’t seem to get enough pictures to document it all lol. I will cherish these memories rent free in my head till the day I die.
I’m forever grateful to have connected with @destructoamf and get to work on this thing 24/7 365. This is literally a dream come true for the 15 year old kid who was too young to Ship but would doodle lineups in his notebook while zoning out in class. Thank you Gary for believing in me, allowing me to be a part of this magic, and most importantly for being such an incredible friend.
This team is magnificent and every single person involved brings their A game year over year. It’s an honor to be a part of it. We’re already cooking on 2026, and I can’t wait to do it all over again.
XOXO💋
29 and feeling fine - this past year was my favorite trip around the sun so far. I’m so in love with this life and the people in it. What we are doing, and what’s to come. But I’m realizing I need to take more pics because these are the best I got 😂
Thanks everyone for being a part of this journey.
Here’s to sending off my 20s with a bang - starting with @thefriendshipofficial this week 🛳️🙏
TY for all the bday love! 🙏🙏
Scenes from SLC last week. 😍⚡️
