As the year comes to a close, I can’t help but look back on 2024 with immense pride, resilience, and gratitude. This year, I learned that it’s one thing to talk about chasing dreams, but it’s another to truly take action—and I did just that. From releasing new music to navigating some tough personal challenges, 2024 was a year of proving to myself that I can rise above anything, no matter how hard the road gets.
The Challenges
This year wasn’t just about the highlights; it was also about enduring the storms. Early in the year, I was assaulted—a moment that shook me to my core and tested my strength in ways I never expected. Shortly after, my car was stolen, another blow that left me feeling vulnerable and frustrated. On top of these challenges, I underwent multiple surgeries, pushing my body and mind to their limits as I worked to heal and recover.
And perhaps the hardest moment of all was losing my grandmother. She was one of my biggest supporters, and her love and pride in me always gave me strength. Navigating her loss has been a painful reminder of how fleeting life is, but it’s also inspired me to honor her legacy by continuing to push forward and make her proud.
The Professional Milestones
Despite everything, #SpotifyWrapped was a wonderful reminder of the strides I’ve made this year. It feels so fitting that “Warrior” was my most-streamed song of 2024. That track wasn’t just an anthem for me—it became a source of strength for so many others facing their own battles. Seeing it connect with listeners in 53 countries was surreal and humbling.
I’ve never released this many tracks in a single year before, and it’s been a whirlwind of hard work, creative energy, and, honestly, a lot of sacrifice. It wasn’t always easy or cheap, but every project was worth it because I’m finally seeing my dreams come to life. To everyone who streamed, shared, and supported my music this year—thank you. You made these moments possible.
As we move into 2025, I’m setting big goals: more music, more connection, and even more spins. I’ve got some exciting projects lined up, and more new songs that I can’t wait to share with you all.
The Personal Journey
On a personal level, this year has been just as transformative. Pursuing my dreams has required sacrifices—time, money, and even relationships. Instead of going out or spending money on leisure, I’ve poured everything into my work, and while it’s left me feeling lonely at times, I wouldn’t trade it. This journey has taught me the value of perseverance and the importance of surrounding myself with people who truly support my vision.
To those of you who actively showed up—whether by sharing my music, offering words of encouragement, or simply believing in me—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love and support have meant the world to me, and you’re the reason I keep going.
At the same time, I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that not everyone will rally behind my dreams, even those closest to me. It’s a hard truth, but one I’ve accepted. Going into 2025, I’m letting go of the energy and attachments that held me back, focusing instead on the people and opportunities that uplift me.
Looking Ahead
2024 was a year of challenges, resilience, and action, and I’m carrying that momentum into 2025. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, and I’m ready to push even further. Here’s to a new year of growth, creativity, and connection.

Thank you for being part of my journey. Here’s to 2025 and all the possibilities it holds! 💙
