My Music Is Opening Up A World Tour!!! ????

Hey friend,

I'm excited to share a remarkable story of how a creative endeavor led to an unexpected and extraordinary opportunity in my music career.

For those who've been following my journey with Usher's team since 2021, you know I've been working hard to work with him on some music and connected with a lot of his team during his Vegas residency during the pandemic.. Last year (or a little before), leading up to the Super Bowl, I trailerized a few Usher songs, including the iconic "Yeah" by Usher.

These projects are often a personal exercise to improve (hopefully ??) my trailerization skills and creativity. I shared snippets on Instagram, tagging the talented team behind the song, including Lil Jon, with no expectations. Little did I know, my consistent effort caught the attention of Lil Jon himself, who reached out a few months ago via Instagram.

At first, I thought it might be someone from his team, but to my surprise, it was him. This genuine connection opened the door to a new opportunity: creating a custom music intro for a world tour with Lil Jon and Pitbull!

Approaching the project felt like working on a brief for a sync or trailer opportunity, with guidelines to follow and a need to capture an epic, cinematic feel suitable for a stadium show. The goal was to create a seamless transition into the opening song, and I embraced the creative challenge.

It all started with research: Watching clips online of Pitbull’s previous tours along with other top headlining tour intros and also locking in on Lil Jon’s sounds. Having my music heard in packed arenas of 20,000+ people in places like London or Amsterdam, knowing my music is kicking off the show, has filled me with immense gratitude and awe.

Now, here's an interesting twist: While I'm thrilled to share this with you, sometimes we have to keep things close to the chest. Believe it or not, I usually don't discuss a lot of projects I'm working on. But Lil Jon, despite having millions of followers, saw me post about creating music for a big artist and reached out to me himself and gave me the green light to let the world know I did this project for him.

This experience reminds me of the unseen potential in sharing our work and staying open to opportunities. It’s a journey I never anticipated when I started in music, but God has opened doors I couldn’t have imagined—from theme parks to world tours. These moments affirm the trajectory I’m on, an exciting path that social media and consistent effort have enabled.

For fellow creatives, I encourage you to stay true to your journey and keep sharing your work. While I can't tell you what you should do, I can share what I do. Posting my music and documenting my journey online has opened doors for me. Opportunities may arise in unexpected ways, and being open, ready, and communicative can lead to incredible outcomes.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Let's continue creating magic and exploring the endless possibilities in music together!

Let’s go!
