Jordan’s new album melts my heart (which I didn’t know was possible with the back drop of our world). Life is hard and sometimes artists can take this pain and in less than 3 min give it hope again. If your anything like me, you want to hope again. You don’t want to go quietly into the night. So give this album a listen and find the things and people and artists that are refusing to give up.
“daydreaming” and an 11-track anthem for the relentless hopeful, the stubborn lover, and angsty artist.
It’s for us. Thank you honey. I love you.
Another run around the sun - fighting for joy, for gratitude, for trust, for release, for growth, for love, for peace. This life is worth the fight!
Thank you to my people, my community, my family, my kids and my BFF @jordanfryeofficial for holding me down!
We did it! This weekend our team the “Moonwalkers” raised over $3200 to help fund the @alzassociation . This organization has been a consistent lifeline of support for us these past few years, and to millions of other caretakers around the country. My heart is full today, and so grateful to all my fans, friends, and family who chipped in to help us reach our fundraising goal.
Sending love to all, and to anybody else going through this (or caring for someone who is): YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Don’t hesitate to reach out to the 24/7 AlZ Helpline (800.272.3900)

I got this fire burnin’ in me from within
Concentrated thoughts on who I used to be, I’m sheddin’ skin
Every day, a new version of me, a third of me demented
Cemented in pain, jugglin’ the pros and cons of fame
I don’t know how to make friends, I’m a lonely soul
I recollect this isolation, I was four years old
Truth be told, I’ve been battlin’ my soul, tryna navigate the real and fake
Cynical about the judgment day
I’m yelling, “Father, did I finally get it right? Everything I did was selfless
I spoke freely, when the people needed me, I helped them
I didn’t gloat, even told ‘em, “No, “ when the vultures came
Took control of my fleshly body when the money changed”
“Son you do well but your heart is closed
I can tell residue that linger from your past creates itself”
Father, I’m not perfect I got urges, but I hold them down
“But your pride has to die, “ okay Father show me how
We’re saddened to say our dog Lulu of nearly 15 years has passed. Regal. Loyal. Aloof. These are just a few words that come to mind when we think of her. We first adopted Lulu when she was 6 months old at an animal rescue shelter. I was about to hop on tour with my band for large concentrated blocks of time, and for the next 8 years Lulu would become Katrina’s roommate, hiking partner, and canine confidant. When I came off the road to write/produce full-time, Lulu was there to welcome me back for good, and would later welcome both of our sons home as well. In her final years, we gave Lulu to my mom who needed a companion of her own. Lulu has literally been there every single step of the way during our entire 14+ years of marriage, and with thousands of pictures to choose from, these are a handful of her greatest hits.
Many of you reading this also knew and loved Lulu. Maybe you babysat while Katrina and I needed a date night in those early years, or held her on your lap while we wrote songs together in the studio. Whatever your connection may be, we would love to hear your memories in the comments below. 🐕
I took this video of Jordan in 2018, a life changing year for us. @jordanfryeofficial decided to get off the road and after I got laid off I decided to start my own company. We cut our budget in half. We moved into a smaller apartment. We bet on ourselves!
Honestly, I didn’t know what it would all amount to. I didn’t know how each step would lead to the next. But here we stand, charting on the top 40 hot a/c charts. His song and my label.
I’ve heard it would take those 10,000 hours but no one talks about the 10,000 songs. Watching Jordan write and re-write and write some more has been humbling. I love you Jordan and I’m daily in awe of your grit, determination, and stubbornness.
Cheers to more wild bets on us.
Our hearts are heavy as we have seen many of our LA musicians friends devastated by the many fires in LA including the #EatonFire and #PalisadesFires. It hits home.
We stand alongside you and have sorted resources for immediate support. Please DM us directly as we are local and can show up in personal and direct ways.
I will never forget Tuesday night as we got the call from our neighbors. “Fire, pack your car, get your kids out.” Five people have died, over 1,000 homes and businesses gone with 10,000 acres covered.
When I’m scared, mad, helpless, I create. @familiesforblacklives was created in 2020 at a time like this. I’ve re launched the site to accept donations and to receive request for help.

I’ve been given a front row seat to a creator’s life. @jordanfryeofficial (like most artists) has rearranged his studio over 50 times, moved it 6 times, welcomed our 2 sons to play in it, and opened it to hundreds of artists to collaborate with him. Watching him never done, always searching has kept me inspired. His new Deluxe album is all things willing to recreate, grow, adapt, and always in search for more. Enjoy!
