šš½ GROWN is finallyyyy out! But Iām trying something different for this project. There will be no streaming on DSPās. Thatās right ~ the 13 track album is available for purchase exclusively at š±LOWLEAF.EARTHš there Iāve also written about the record and why Iām doing it this way if youād like to learn more.
This is a new era in which we as artists must carve the path toward a truly liberated world. If you want to support this independent, self-funded, passionate endeavor, please consider buying, (thereās no other way to listen to it) itās reallyyyy goooood, trust ^_^
all the music is written n produced by me
piano, guitar, harp, bass, n percussion by me
violin by @trenku n flute by @bryanbbaker
mixing n mastering by my beloved @blqlyte

āearthās dream reigns supremeā ~ wrote a blog post abt off grid living in the philippines, creativity beyond capitalism, prayers thru action for a new paradigm n more.. tap in wit me at š±lowleaf.earthš
itās been a process, but all of my releases have been removed (or r in the process of being removed) from all streaming platforms āļøāš„āØš”ļø!!
If you wanna listen to my music, iāve created a stacked playlist of favorites that iāve produced over the years. U can stream throughout my website, even when ur device is locked !! ~~ iāll be updating tracks, sharing unreleased musicš, etc⦠whatever I want, whenever I please :]
I wrote a blog post about it on my website
š±lowleaf.earthš
wut can a liberated earth feel and sound like? the colonized mind must be disarmed with radical imagination; tuning into a frequency that takes all of humanity and creation into consideration. the role of music in the western world has been commodified n desecrated, yet the spirit of music lives on ⦠I hope to honor those that came before me, n help direct the hearts of those that long to return home by using sound n music as a means to communicate⦠thankfully, I donāt walk this path alone, and iām so grateful to share the stage on Sunday with these incredible musicians, creative beings that bring their own soul essence to the musical altar⦠HOPE TO C U THERE !!!
