Taking time off socials recently has been much needed BUT I did miss a HUGE moment of one of my favorite & most talented people that I MUST highlight 🖤
Story time: Back in NYE’s 2014, I went to a random house party, where I met a shy & sweet 19 year old artist by the name De’Wayne Jackson who recently moved to LA. I didn’t think much of interaction at the time but this marked a huge shift in my life moving forward. A gift that has taken me through a WILD ride over the last ten + years. Through it all together, we’ve become better, stronger people and I hope we can continue to do so over the next ten years !
To the point:
@yeahdewayne put out an INCREDIBLE album on 07/30/2025 titled “june”. The sweat, the tears and the blood shed to get to this point. Man, I’m so DAMN PROUD of this body of work!!! And I’m so damn grateful to be part of your journey, developing as an artist and a human being ✨❤️🔥
So many people to thank through this album cycle:
THANK YOU to Dylan Bauld, Brandon Colbein, Emma Rosen, Naveed Hassan, Willow Smith, Andy Serrao, Jonathan Rego, Shai Lev, Adéllyn Polomski & the Salxco Fam, Joe Mischo, Matt Hoodhood, Memu Conteh, Dana Trippe, Dayna & Kerri-Ann from BPM PR, Max Espinosa, Terry Craft, Jason Suwito, Dom Stepanian, Constance Torres, Jeff Geasey, Scott Bradford, Marisa Kurtz, Fearless Records, Stefan Bojilov, Joe LaPorta and many, many, MANY more. It takes a village and then more! 💕
For anyone who sees this post, even tho the world is in a very weird place, I hope you can still find music that serves as an outlet, a distraction or maybe inspiration for something better.
Amen for spreading a bit more love in the world, De’Wayne. More to come soon!!! 🚀
