New year, new news

Boyhood Blog #4
Hello blog!! It’s been a second…but I promise it’s with good reason :)
Since we’ve last chatted, my single Nostalgic has been released and I cannot thank you enough for the support and love you’ve shown the song and video! It was truly such a blast to create and I hope you’re all still jamming out to it as much as I am. Check out the AWARD WINNING(!!!) video here
Also, since we last spoke–my debut album, Boyhood, will be coming out on March 22nd!!! When I tell you I’ve been working on this album for what feels like a lifetime, it is no exaggeration. Literal blood, sweat, and (many) tears have been poured into this album and I am over the moon that I finally get to share it with you.
Now that housekeeping is done, some updates: As a good old fashioned pop star, I simply couldn’t give you only one single leading up to the album–however, this next release might look a little different. Various musical styles are explored throughout the album, so I wanted the next release to give you a few more pieces to the puzzle–two, in fact! If you’ve been following around for a while, these pieces might sound a bit familiar, but I promise they have been reworked, remastered, and made pretty for the silver screen (Jake’s Version)
And speaking of screens…we just wrapped on the second music video for the album and I cannot WAIT for you to see it!! I got to work with some phenomenal Minneapolis artists on this one and we braved some cold temperatures to make it happen. I’ll have more details in a future blog post, but wanted to get the hype started early :)
I think that’s where I’ll leave it for now, but I wanted to wish you all a happy new year and an excellent start to 2024. May all your dreams come true!
Now for…
What I’ve been listening to: been really feeling a dance pop wave recently. A lot of Madonna, Robyn, and of course–saying that shit with my chest!
Playlist shoutout: on the subject, I feel lucky to have friends that make awesome playlists as well
A cute lil’ cake my wonderful friends got me for the Nostalgic release party :’)
