Yesterday’s show! Thanks sooooo much to everyone for showing up 🤘🎶 and thanks to my bandmates for making my songs sound heckin incredible and better than I’ve ever imagined 💕💕💕💕💕

this pride month reminder that ppl whose bday is in june makes them Extra Gay and Extra Valid (aka me, ya local bi poc artist). also I’m working hard on my new album to be released late summer and it’s gonna feature more wlw stuff 💖💜💙

speaking of, I ALREADY have a couple of gay songs out!!!! wow!!!!! Every song on Sera is inherently gay by virtue of the girl names attached to each song, but Sixteen and Unbeliever? overtly and unapologetically gay. own it 🏳️‍🌈

• Unbeliever is about a girl and being scared of falling in love and being vulnerable but going ahead anyway
• Sixteen is about growing up real close with your childhood crush and nothing ever happening and moving on as an adult but she’ll always have a special place in your heart

As a struggling musician with only 530 subscribers slowly accumulated over the years, I have tried SO hard to at least make some side money by posting regular covers. But with the youtube algorithm changing and now the Youtube Partner Program, I guess that’s not happening anymore. The algorithm very obviously favors some creators over others, and you can bet that small-time musicians are not one of them. I’ve made 23.91$ from youtube monetization. Not a lot, I know - definitely under the payment threshold - but it’s still hard earned money. With less than 1000 subs, are they saying I will never be able to cash that? Is that number, representative of the work I’ve put into my videos, just going to sit there and taunt me forever, while youtube and the advertised companies get every single cent of their share? How is this fair?

Here’s the interview + preview of my new song Shot in the Dark, for the GeneratioNext event happening next week in Montreal hosted by Lux Magna Festival! I’ll be performing there, and proceeds go to RCFG*, an amazing organization (that I also work at 😉), so be sure to join us at the concert next Thursday if you’re in town 😁💫 

fun fact: I didn’t have a name for Shot in the Dark till today and it was Mags (from @strangefroots) who came up with the name!

me, smiling like a dumbass because of all the love and support from my friends at my gig last night at Chick Pickin’ Mondays 🎸🎶
