All Glory To God
2x Grammy Nominated Songwriter
Momma I know you would be so proud of me š„¹
Still on this cloud that over looks everything Iāve been through in the past year. Was it worth it? Is it worth it? Can you afford to pay the cost for what you consider success? And the answer is Yes. Now was it always a clear Yes? Absolutely not but it was always yes.
@ledisi only God knew how much you would mean to me in this season of my life. 3 a.m. writing sessions, Check-Ins, the many voice notes we would send each other to rewrite ideas. I am sure I owe you for our Therapy Sessions š. Seriously these moments mean the world to me because they are with you, @theycallmecamper and @raykeys18 , @jocmusiq , Rex and the many other collaborators who contributed to āThe Crownā. We are Nominated š«¶.
@flolikethis from the Uk to the world. You ladies have arrived and are here to stay. Talent is one thing, work ethic is another and you ladies have both. You are Freaking Grammy Nominated, the first of many. Thank you for allowing me to play a small part on your journey. @dixson and @theycallmecamper watching you guys work day in and day out inspires me to this day. I was always told if you want to be great then surround yourself around the greats. I am grateful I had the pleasure. To all the collaborators who contributed to @flolikethis āAccess All Areasā, congratulations. You are Grammy Nominated.
@justcallmetristan Thank You for always showing up for me and reminding me what a phone call away means. Thanks again bro š·
Momma would you look at this ā¤ļøšļø.
This is for you and sis
For 8 years I disconnected from music and everything that was once important because I lost you and sis. I struggled badly to find myself and I am still finding my way. But momma come on now I love and miss you two so much and as I celebrate this achievement, I also celebrate the both of you šļøā¤ļøšļø.
@theycallmecamper āŗļø10 + years of respect, support, friendship and brotherhood. I wouldnāt be able to Thank You enough for the opportunities and the journey man. This run weāve been on both together and individually has been dope to witness in real time. You my brother 4Life. Itās Early š„
@jonmcreynolds Thank You for welcoming me into your creative space with open arms. Before having the pleasure of working with you , songs like āLovin Meā, āNo Grayā and āPressureā really got me through some pretty rough times. So working with you on a song called āBasicsā felt like a message that was meant for me to receive through you. It has really help me re-establish a relationship with Christ. Thank You š
Finally
To my friend circle āļø who Iāve called, text, and FaceTime when I was on the edge of making reckless decisions (you know who you are) I love you for keeping me encouraged on this journey. Itās not easy,!itās not glamorous when you are trying to figure it out but you know how much it means to me. Thank You for always picking up for me.
My Gram Fam
Nothing but love ā¤ļø for your support.
Those emojis hold some meaning over here.
I said A LOT on this post but I didnāt want to be so
cool that I couldnāt be real with you and grateful at the same time. #WelcomeToTheCamp āŗļø #swipeleft #grammynominated
@recordingacademy Thank You
Grateful to be able to creatively talk about the traumaās of losing a loved one. Seeing others appreciative of such a song existing. Dedicating it to their loved ones. This is about the celebration of transitioning .
There isnāt a one Grieving Style fits all.
Iāve watched family members drink through it
Cry through it
Talk through it
Isolate themselves and pretend it never happened through it (me)
However you choose to grieve, that is your choice. Selfishly we never want to let our loved ones go but receiving their wings and taking their place in heaven free of pain with more of our loved ones provides a momentary smile underneath the tears.
@tathomas āYou Got Your Wings ā šŖ½
Out Now on All Streaming Platforms
āYou Got Your Wingsā by @tathomas is Out Now on All Streaming Platforms. It was a song dedicated to our motherās.
In our first sessions together when I first moved to LA, we shared a moment with our sis Sage who had lost her father and that moment on they have felt like family even the annoying parts.
I am honored to be able to contribute on something for our loved ones.
Canāt Lie recently losing my grandmother and hearing this song and seeing these memories has me falling apart, has me feeling alone, has me scared of the āwhat ifsā I have been allowing myself to think. I am just trying to keep it together the best I can.
We pray you think of and live in the memories of the loved ones you have lost and celebrate them
This
šØFirst Major Movie PlacementšØ
It was so surreal to see my name along side my friends and family. I was overcome with so many emotions due to the passing of my grandma who has joined my mother, sister and uncle in Heaven.
Honestly sometimes I feel like I donāt deserve such blessings. Maybe I got lucky at the right moment. Maybe it wasnāt my blessing directly. I negative self talk way more than I would like to but it is something I try to work on.
I remember as kids my mom would take my brother and I to the dollar store to get our snacks for the movies. We loved the movies or at least I did. Not too far back, not to close up, middle seats please. But this moment deserved a close up⦠Reneeās son, Happyās grandson Larryās nephew and Kitaās brother name is on the Big Screen. It is truly insane to even say out loud. I am just so grateful š.
My First Movie šæ Placement is dedicated to my Mother and my Grandma Happy. I donāt even have the energy to be excited like I planned to be initially but I am so grateful.
@ledisi it is so fitting that this opportunity is with you. I love you unconditionally big sis.
Now I can talk about it because you kept telling me I couldnāt say anything, okkkkkkkaaay. What about now?
GRATITUDE āš¾
4/26/2026 My grandmother passed away. It is so freaking hard to write this. It is 4 a.m. 4/27/2026 and I am finally able to stop crying and shaking long enough to say something. My uncle told me to call you before your surgery but I figured I would call you after but there was no after š¢š¢šš there was no after.
I am broken. I am loss and I am so angry. I have been surviving things for so long in silence but I donāt think I will survive this one. I aināt got it, not for this one.
I need out, I feel fucking trapped. I was just starting to be ok with my mother being gone and now this.
Iām not good and wonāt be good.
Grandma Happy
I Gave you that name šššš
I took pride In being your eldest grandson
I love you so much
So much energy so much love, so much light
So many stories, so many recipes
My favorite singer, an amazing dancer and the worst at keeping secrets š¤£š¢šbut you were my hero, my grandmother, my mother , you meant so much to me.
There are no do overs, the memories I have of you are the memories I have and i will cherish them forever.
The family will miss different qualities about you but rest peacefully knowing that you will always be missed.
I know you were hurting badly when mommy left but now you can hold her again when she welcomes you home along side my beautiful sister.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH GRANDMA HAPPY

Confessions of a Songwriter.
I use to always hear about the 10,000 hour rule but maybe in the fine print i ignored the part about āas many 10,000 hours neededā.
I use to paint my āBiggerā picture off of the edges of the canvas.
I was going to be one of the biggest songwriters ever, awards, # 1ās, a room filled with my accomplishments. Respected amongst my peers, working all over the world, getting paid to do what I have been passionate about for so long. Thatās what I use to be sure of. Now I am just hopeful that some of these things are still possible.
I am not sure what I thought the success ladder would look like, or how high I had to climb to feel successful.
But it feels like I am climbing with a weighted vest of disappointments, regrets and negative self talk.
Now a days I feel like I am just existing more than I am living. Like I am unsure of the things I use to be sure about.
Depending on the day / week the work schedule may change but the hours are always + 16
During The Week:
ā¢3-4 days out of the week I work construction from 8:30 a.m-2
⢠Everyday I work 3-11 or 3 p- 7 a
⢠Here is where I would have 2-3
FaceTime writing sessions āš¾
⢠I teach 2 classes with The Dash Program
ā¢Before or After work I train clients
During The Weekend:
- I have my massage clients during the day and my care giving job from 3 p- 7 a.
Everyday:
I am in school for Cybersecurity/ Ethical Hacking
One thing about me is that I do not know how to walk away. Maybe I am delusional in that way. The scars of life still hold memories that hurt but Iāll never stop trying to be the songwriter i dreamt I could be.
I PRAY THAT WITH ALL OF THESE ODD JOBS THAT I EVENTUALLY BREAK EVEN. THAT THESE EXPERIENCES HELP ME TO CRAFT THE STORIES THAT WILL ONE DAY CHANGE MY LIFE.
