2024

What a crazy year, in both my time as a NG creator and the world in general. I started the year with around 380 fans, and ended with over 800. Holy. Hell. I sincerely appreciate all of you deciding my stuff was good enough to follow for, and I'll do my very best to keep at it and make stuff. This year I feel I was able to get more out of my boundaries and actually speak to more creators rather than sit in the corner.

2024 was a massive year in terms of how much I can handle at once, and how much I can actually output when my mind sets in. I wanna thank everyone who follows me, I can't put into words how it makes me feel that were almost to 1000 people that enjoy my efforts, and I can only strive to make better and better stuff for ya'll.

I did this statistics thing last year for fun and I'll do it again, then get to the recap:

Total Songs (not including unreleased ones): 88 (DAMN)

Total Frontpages: 65 (HOLY SHIT)

Total Views: 231,343 (HOLY SHIT!!!)

Thank you for collabing with me in the past and present (and hopefully future), dealing with my dumbass saying sorry for bothering any time I message, asking dumb questions, always giving me solid advice, joining my collabs, allowing me to join your collabs/projects, and being all around great creators. A lot of you took time out of your day to make something for me, be it a solo or a full on track for a collab, I'll always ALWAYS appreciate that. If I missed you I'm deeply sorry, it's 1AM and I can' think straight right now, I'll most likely update to add more.

A massive problem for me has and always will be the fear of failure, and the fear that I am a nuisance to everyone around me. Deep down, I always feel whenever I collab with anyone, that it comes off like I want to ride the coattails of people. It's led me to sort of isolate and not want to actually speak to those I collab with afterwards, and it's been the biggest hindrance for me to want to reach out and make stuff with more creators. I never wanna feel like I'm trying to push into someones friend group or force a friendship, and If I have ever come off that way I wanna apologize.

Now with the wall of text out of the way:

Have a safe and happy New Year's, and may 2025 be an awesome year for everyone!
