7/18/2026 Sony has decided to delete over 500 digital movies that people bought and paid for. Those people have now lost all of the movies they spent hard earned money on. Poof! This is why I say over and over: Please buy physical media. It doesn't matter if it's music or movies or games or books. When you buy physical media, it's yours forever. You hold it in your hands and own it. Streaming is a joke too. Musicians don't get paid. Buy CDs, vinyl, cassettes directly from the artists whenever possible. Here's a link to the Sony bullshit. Just so you know this link will open in a new window outside of my website.

Hello to anyone who made it here, I really appreciate it. 

​

When I first made the decision to leave all social media I thought it might be a mistake just because that's what musicians do. Everyone is on social media. However, as time went on and my mind began to settle, I realized it was one of the best things I've ever done. I've always had my own website, but I've done more through social channels than here. That's changing. I have nothing left to prove. I've accomplished so much over my musical career, and I'm grateful to all who have supported me. 

​

So, why the change? Well for one, privacy. Every social media platform requires some form of identification, be it email, phone number, thumbprint, etc. I'm not into that. Secondly, their policies. YouTube's policy states that once you put a video up, it's theirs. They can do whatever they wish to it, including upscaling, remixing, using it for advertising. You also have to follow their guidelines. I'm not into that. As far as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and the like, I just think they're idiotic. And guess what? They own your stuff too. I'm not into that.

​

For a brief time I was on Spotify and I believe there's a page that still has my name even though there isn't any music on it. I never made a dime. Spotify, along with every other streaming service allows AI music? creation sites to scrape parts of real artists music to create music? without compensating the artists that they use. I'm not into that. I won't even get into the non-creative part of AI because if a musician? uses it, that's their business. But, when AI musicians? change the algorithm of streaming sites, that means independent artists (real Musicians) lose money. I'm not into that.

​

I'm currently building this site so anyone who comes here can listen, watch, learn and buy. All of my music, videos, merch, drawings and anything else I feel like putting here will be available. Yes, you will have to pay for my music. But it won't be a lot. And unlike streaming sites, you own the music you buy in maximum quality. If you buy a CD or vinyl, or cassette, you'll also get a digital download. I'm definitely into that. Quite frankly, people deserve better than what streaming services give them and I plan to give you better.

​

Right now this is the only page that's here. Let's all slow down and enjoy life without having to worry about what's going on on social media. Here you can breathe. If you're into that. ♥BL

I am social media free! Enjoy your stay here.
