Including the incredible women in the music industry in these lists are quite literally the LEAST we could do. Hear more from the lovely Ty Stiklorius in the most recent episode of Clyde Confidential.

Happy Mother’s Day to the Mamas, the G-Ma’s, the stepmothers, the chosen mothers, the animal Moms, and the people who mother the world through friendship, care, tenderness, protection, attention & love. Being a mom to these two has been the deepest joy & purpose of my life. And it’s all due to the love, care and warmth of my Mama Pajama, Candace Virginia aka Grandma CeCe. I am in this little rare, fleeting sliver of time where my kiddos and my Mom are all still here together in this human form, and it’s precious and I am grateful ❤️ 💐 🌼 🌹 🌺 🌖 🌞. Sending love to all who need a little mothering today. I love you.

Cherry blossoms drift
soft as all I’ve carried here
loosening at last 🌸
Thank you, Japan, for your quiet beauty and gentle wisdom, for the way you hold both stillness and movement, tradition and change, with such grace. In your temples, streets, and bamboo forests, amongst the sakura, riding a bike on Philosophers path at 6:30am, watching the pink moon rise, dancing and skipping through the rain with my son and his friend, finding treasure with LZ, I found space to breathe, to soften, and to let go. You gave me a reminder that there is beauty in release, in impermanence, and in becoming again. 💕 🌕 🗻 🗼 🌸 🇯🇵
Charlie Puth’s new album, Whatever’s Clever!, is out now! 🎶 ❤️ 💫 🎼 📻
This album is vulnerable, self-aware, and sonically masterful. It’s the sound of someone growing in real time and giving himself permission to choose depth, honesty and musicianship over whatever is clever for the moment. Oh and it features Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Kenny G, Coco Jones, Hikaru Utada, Rayvn Lenae, and Jeff Goldblum along with so many more incredible musicians.
So proud of you, Charlie Puth. And massive thanks to everyone on worked on this album sonically and behind the scenes.
What a rare and beautiful alchemy to love you, and to be loved by you. I’ll keep choosing the joy, the ease, the excitement, the safety, the truth, the laughter and the wild adventure we make together ❤️
I’ve watched @charlieputh prepare for this moment for months with so much vision, intention, heart and discipline.
Tonight he stood in front of the world and sang with so much presence and care. I felt proud, emotional, and honestly hopeful watching it from the side of the field. Music has a way of reminding us who we can be when we lead with heart.
150+ million people… and you stayed present, breathed, and delivered something truly beautiful. 🇺🇸✨ So proud of you, Charlie. ❤️
What a night. ✨So much love for @musicares and the way they quietly, steadily show up for the music community, when artists are thriving and when they’re struggling. Health care, mental health support, recovery resources, emergency aid… real care for real people behind the songs.
Honored to celebrate Mariah Carey and witness such beautiful performances, generosity, and humanity all in one room. Music is magic, and the people who make it deserve to be held, too. 🤍
Some stories stay with you for life. Some people change the course of yours.
I met Jarrett Harper inside Lancaster State Prison, where he was serving a life sentence for something he was charged with as a child. I was there, deep in the work of criminal justice reform, listening and learning, brought by my friend Scott Budnick for a restorative justice gathering. Jarrett stood up and told his story, and I knew, immediately and without question, that this man should not be in prison.
I went back many times. I always found him. I always told him to have hope. I even told him, somewhat naively, that we would get him out one day.
And somehow with the help of many dedicated people who saw what I saw, many letters to the governor, Jarrett’s own work and tireless efforts, his sentence was commuted and Jarrett got out.
After the Supreme Court ruled juvenile life-without-parole sentences unconstitutional, laws changed. Letters were written. Doors cracked open. Then-Governor Jerry Brown commuted Jarrett’s sentence. He walked free. And the world got one of its best humans back.
Today, Jarrett works alongside me at Friends At Work. He is a light. Everyone’s favorite teammate. A mentor, advisor, listener, truth-teller. He dedicates his life to ending the foster care–to–prison pipeline and to helping young people believe they are worthy of futures bigger than the systems that failed them.
Now, a piece of his story, and the story of the bond between him and his brother, Baylon Anton Harper, has been transformed into something extraordinary.
I GOT MY BROTHER
A short film that is funny, devastating, tender, and deeply alive. A piece of art that transmutes pain into love, humor, and healing.
I’ve seen it. I laughed. I cried. I sat quietly afterward, grateful that this story exists.
I’m so proud to celebrate that I Got My Brother will premiere at SXSW 2026.
Please come watch. Come feel. Come witness what is possible when we choose humanity over punishment, and love over despair.
