sorry again for the inactivity, slowly getting back into it. my left lung collapsed almost 2 weeks ago and have been out of my dayjob to recover and ended up losing a good chunk of income.
started a new track finally after a period of stagnation due to stress and will post a WIP here. so grateful for those who continue to support me regardless of creative drought, cannot express my gratitude enough ❤️

2022-02-17 20:38:02 +0000 UTC View Posti feel i should give an update to my current living situation : i started a minimum wage job at the end of january and its hardly paying and highly stressful. its leaving me little energy or time to create and i feel so uninspired and lacking desire to create. part of me wants to quit this job because its soul-sucking, as i write this im about to walk 40 mins while sick to clock-in.
idk i feel my life lacks direction, i dont know what to do or how to pull myself out of this slog. i fee...
2022-02-04 09:50:10 +0000 UTC View Postjust recovered from a bad flu and should be back on track! gonna upload more works in progress here as well as twitch stream archives in the next few days. also thinking about putting together a patron-exclusive sample pack for producers! been an idea i had for the longest time and excited to start slowly building one - been having a bit of writers block so it should def help me stay creative in the meantime ❤️
2021-12-17 02:12:34 +0000 UTC View Postsince wednesday last week i have been battling a flu complete with 2 fevers so far. i am giving myself a break to recover and rest - hope to be back at it again soon! thank you everyone for your support ❤️
2021-12-14 00:33:54 +0000 UTC View Posti feel this is more of a personal post but wanted to get things off my chest - 2021 hasnt been a good year for me. i have had no luck in trying to find a side-job to pay my bills so i rely on patreon and (if im lucky) a few bandcamp sales. i havent bought groceries due to having to ration what i get paid and the stress has taken a toll on my productivity/creativity. i feel horrible because i want to offer more content - doing the best to stay positive and keeping up with everything.

was jamming out to some patterns i was experimenting with. verrry rough but there is definitely a lot of potential in this piece. gonna wrap up production before the end of the month

very rough sketch but quickly started drafting this garage tune this morning. gonna develop it further throughout the week ♥ def wanna flesh out the structure and vocal chops.
2021-11-20 18:04:50 +0000 UTC View Postwell long story short, i had to quit a really really stressful food service job last month due to toxic behavior from my former boss and the workload being too much to bear for little pay, so right now patreon is the only thing holding me fairly together for the time being until i can gain employment. just really discouraged and exhausted by this year. i cannot thank everyone enough for continuing to pledge and support me here, hoping to draw in more pledges by the end of the month, lost a fe...

little something i started today. gonna draft out the drop part of the track tomorrow if i have the motivation ♥

was playing around on the acoustic guitar yesterday and came up with this. quickly rushed upstairs to record and produce what this track is now. got a few things to correct, edit, etc. but really liking it so far ♥

sooo i have a new 2-track EP i was able to knock out in a period of a month and its a super fun ride. i used a bunch of samples of some of my fave/nostalgic tunes. this entire thing is really hard-hitting and noisy ugh i cannot get enough of it.
this link is both the tracks put together for the sake of gauging the structure of the release. i am going for a seamless transition between the tracks, and i think this works pretty well! physical release will include the DJ-ready full length ...

going through it, i feel a lot of times i dont belong and i wanted to try to convey feelings of loneliness and withdrawal in this piece. i always felt like an outlier to crowds, the most quiet one in the room.
2021-10-10 11:51:44 +0000 UTC View Post
experimenting with a triplet feel over a 4/4 beat. interested to see where it goes, the structure here is still really rough.

started this yesterday and actually really happy with the way its sounding. the main pluck synth is actually recorded live with my korg minilogue XD unit, just gotta do some final recording takes, really excited to be integrating hardware synths in my music ♥
2021-09-16 22:42:39 +0000 UTC View Postjust got hired at a part-time $9 an hour restaurant job so i may be a little inactive but will still be focusing on music. the pay is biweekly and super low so i will continue my job search.
i wanna apologize for the lack on content here, i have been going through intense writers block and cannot seem to come up with anything im happy with before throwing it away, could just be my persistent worsening depression.
anyway i am hoping to find a better paying job...

finally updated my google drive space so now i have an archive of a lot of DJ mixes i have done under this project. free to download in mp3/wav format for patrons.
i will be uploading more mixes as i play them ♥

quick little doodle. might not develop it into anything, just something i had an idea for today. hoping to get out of this bout of depression/uninspiration
2021-07-27 20:57:16 +0000 UTC View Postas the title says, i will be moving to a city over around august 17ish or so. it will be a good opportunity for me to look for a dayjob and help me get back on the right track. its gonna be a little bit of an investment, but my current pledges should def cover it . cannot appreciate everyone here enough, im sorry there has been a bit inactivity due to life stress but i promise more new material as soon as next month as i approach hopefully stability very soon❤️
thank you all again f...
2021-07-25 23:56:31 +0000 UTC View Posti know i posted yesterday that the new single “heartstrings” was going to be out today but i have pushed it back to july 16 instead to help give my distro service time to get it up on platforms. i will share the full track here 3 days before its out to the public ❤️

in-between projects i wanted to make a quick electro house track for fun. might finish and put it out here as an exclusive release 👀
2021-06-28 14:31:50 +0000 UTC View Post
was digging through project files and found this. i cannot believe i completely forgot about this. i need to finish it ASAP
2021-06-25 12:09:57 +0000 UTC View Posti am just, taken aback. this is huge for me.
i wanna take the time to thank my patrons for their support, it means the world to me, i am now making the amount i pay in rent + some bills and never thought i would reach this point. i feel this will take a load of stress off me and allow me to re-center and focus better on my music. i wanna really try to offer more here and advertise my patreon better, you all mean a lot and are the lifeblood of my career ♥
thank you so ...
2021-06-21 12:57:02 +0000 UTC View Posti just spent a lot in taxes for this quarter and feel stressed about it, with bills and rent coming up.
i guess its the bane of being a fulltime content creator, its expected of me to pay taxes on my income but these past few months have been financially devastating in terms of sales on my music and merchandise - further feeding into feelings of self-doubt and imposter syndrome as an artist. i feel as if people are caring less because i havent put out music under GOJII since ...

2021-06-17 19:33:21 +0000 UTC View Posti have started a new antidepressant 3 weeks ago and i have been on a bad decline and feel worse than i did before starting and so i cannot focus on work right now. the only thing i need to focus on doing is making sure i stay okay and its taking all the energy i can muster to do even that. i cannot contact my doctor until my virtual visit next week.
i want to apologize because since my mental illness has progressed as i go into my mid-20s, my work has started to suffer greatly. i want n...
