took a lil trip to asia recently so here's a ✨dump✨ in no particular order.
started off couple days in tokyo w my dad, then jakarta + china for some shows w/ @lany
lots of hangs w friends old + new and alllllllll the food.
fun lil double header weekend at @hitcfestival . got to music direct two VERY different shows.
first one for @dprian which i am so so so proud of. after several iterations of the show, this one feels like we have really nailed it and this has truly felt like such a highlight of my career thus far.
a second much mellower one for @okokok_1031 from china with an amazing voice. jazz vibes, and called some of the best musicians i know.
much love to everyone involved in both teams. go watch a bootleg rip the shows on youtube.
buzz world tour w/ @nikizefanya done! what a pleasure touring with this absolutely rippin band and crew!!!!! so much love to everyone involved.
