This aint a flex, this is for motivational purposes only. By the time you find out what I wrote? Its gone be years after I wrote it. But the moral of the story is let ppl think and say what they wanna say just keep ya head down & keep working. The funny thing about history is it doesnt start when YOU start paying attention & the fact is this vid couldve been waay longer but yall attention spans aint that long. 🤣🤣 👻✍🏾R

For every artist who puts in the work when no one is watching, when no one is listening, when you feel like giving up….DONT. Never in a million years did I think I could ever win a grammy with my name on it. I had given up on that dream but here we are. Thank you to EVERYONE who had a hand in this. Everyone who shared a post, answered a email, responded to a DM & everyone who voted. Wow…..just wow. 🥹🥹 God is the greatest!

I read somewhere that all songwriters should atleast play one instrument. I cant play any. I always felt like if you could it would make you a better songwriter. I always wanted to play keys. Yesterday I tried to really understand notes…I put tape on every key so I could see the notes cuz Im a visual learner. I can hear when a note is wrong but thats about it. Lol Once I figured out the notes in the beginning of “Funkin For Jamaica” I facetimed @thegavin1 cuz I wanted to impress him. Lol. he picked up the phone and I played for him and he started laughing. Then he walked into the room where his keyboard is and cut it on started to play with me and telling me what to do and how to do it. The closer I got to getting it right the happier he got. He walked me thru that whole process and we were on facetime for 35mins. Not once did he get frustrated or didn’t encourage me. Gav has played piano his whole life. But when I told him I wanted to learn it he helped me. Not once did he think that me learning how to do sumn that he does would somehow affect him. He helped me. And to be honest I wish everyone had a friend like that. Thank you @thegavin1

This was one for the books ✨🏆 The Mad Skillz Grammy Celebration was nothing short of legendary. From the live performances that lit up the room 🔥 to the energy of the 757 showing up and showing out…this was a true celebration of excellence, culture, and community. Huge thank you to everyone who pulled up, hit the stage, and added to the vibe. The talent in our region is unmatched and it was on full display all night. Special shoutout to our Grammy family from the Washington DC chapter that pulled up & Kascades Lounge in Virginia Beach for hosting us and providing the perfect backdrop for such a powerful night 🙌🏾 And most importantly, thank you to Mad Skillz for trusting Creatives for Virginia and TEAM LAMB to host you right here in the 757. It meant everything to celebrate this moment with you. VA, this is what it looks like when we come together 💙 #757Creatives #MadSkillz #GrammyCelebration #CreativesForVA #TeamLamb

Got an amazing art piece from a young artist named @artxahmad today and was totally blown away! The amount of people that have reached out since we won & have expressed that they are now inspired to follow their dreams and passions is crazy! The way God will use you without you even realizing it is truly amazing. When I saw my mother and fathers name around my neck? I cried like a baby🥹🥹

6 years ago during the pandemic I did a live DJ stream online and called it “The 90’s Girl Brunch” what I didn’t realize at the time was this “thing” I started would eventually create a family out of complete strangers who are still close to this day. 6 years later we are still supporting each other, showing up for each other and loving each other! There’s a documentary about it as well! Here’s a scene from the movie! ( link in my bio) Happy Brunchaversery to my 90’s Girl Brunch Fam! #wefamily
