Materia and Musician friends:

My life has taken me many strange ways. While I have not been as actively engaged in our music communities as much as I was, I wanted to tell you all something.

You gave me the confidence to finally actually go for it.

And I did.

And it worked.

What a beautiful part of my life it was, and is. I am not ditching music at all! Quite the opposite in fact.

I want y’all to know I listen to your music all the time. Don’t read this and think “well probably not me” cause YES YOU.

I still feel connected to you all through the music we created and shared together.

I’ve met I’d guess around 150 of you bards (mostly online-but still!) , and worked with many of you. Even if not working directly, we all engaged in discussions together.

Thinking about you y’all tonight.

Let me reiterate this again. This message is absolutely directly at you, the Materia Community, and the handful of others I worked with. It’s to ALL of you.

❤️ Thanks for helping me find the confidence to truly express myself and learn with such a good team. Y’all set me up for the courage I needed to become a public musician.
