Congrats to my fellow class of 2023 Thank you to the board and team for your recognition @missjamiedeee @ommaskeith and @lionbabe for the letter ❤️ hard work pays off #IAmTheAcademy #grammys 🏆

Producing See You Next Year vol. ii for @pigsandplans x @big.ass.kids at Rick Rubin’s iconic Shangri-La studio in Malibu ⛪️ Feels like a dream. Achievement unlocked.

Excited to share that the synth god 🐐 @therealmikedean is Executive producing See You Next Year @pigsandplans + @big.ass.kids 1st annual emerging artist campaign & album. Excited to share more as we rollout! Link in bio for the story!!! 📷 @40mg__

Every single year, we try to elevate the SYNY experience to make it as memorable as can be for all the amazing new artists we’re excited about. Not only did we bring these artists together to make an incredible collaborative album, we also had the ambitious idea of making it a collaborative visual project as well. So we did. 15 music videos directed and shot by each artist for one another at the iconic Shangri-La studio in one day. Always a difficult project to execute but a truly fulfilling experience every single time. So many new artists tell me that it’s a goal of theirs to make it on @pigsandplans + @big.ass.kids SYNY project one day. Once upon a time, this was merely an idea so to see this become a staple in the emerging artist culture, is very special We hope you enjoy @seeyounextyear 3 as much as we enjoyed making it. Shoutout to all the artists, producers, managers, engineers who trusted us with this vision. Major thank you to @alba_tross + @sonyelectronics crew for supplying our amazing artists with the tools and Virtual Mixing Technology to help make this album.

I wanted to share a topic I’m becoming more passionate about every day. Financial literacy in the music community for both artists and the music professionals. Most of us were never taught how money actually works. Not in school. Not at home. Not in the music business. We’re taught how to earn, but not how inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, how banks really operate, or how some of the same tools that trap people can also be used responsibly to build and preserve wealth. I’ve been down a rabbit hole studying money, inflation, Bitcoin, STRC, and long-term wealth building since 2019, and once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. I’m not claiming to be an expert - I’m still learning every day - but the more homework I put in, the more I feel pulled to help bridge the gap between Bitcoin education, financial literacy, and the music community. That’s a big part of why I’m building @bakbitcoin . I want to start dialogue, spark curiosity, and make these ideas more digestible for artists + music professionals who want to think differently about money, earnings, and the future. A lot of people assume they need a lot of money to start investing or to build wealth. I disagree. I think people need accurate education, a simple system, time, and discipline. If this resonates with you, please follow @bakbitcoin . I’ve launched an early waitlist for the educational programs and networking events I’m curating. You can sign up through the link in @bakbitcoin bio. Let’s start the conversation! Hit me or leave a comment below. Sincerely, @leroybenros Education only. Not financial advice. #bitcoin #btc #strc #wealth #investing
