Only five days remain until the full album On my mind is released, and I am beginning to feel both excitement and gratitude. This project has grown quietly but steadily, and looking at what has been created so far makes me genuinely proud. It has been a learning journey, creative and personal, and I am happy to finally share it in a larger way.
I recently launched my artist page on Facebook and have started promoting my music more actively. In the beginning there is a practical challenge. When people search for my songs or even my name on Spotify, the results do not always appear. It becomes a moment twenty two where I cannot reach new listeners until the music becomes easier to find, and it does not become easier to find until more people listen. So for now I focus on giving direct links to the songs, hoping each new listener helps open the path a little further.
Still, something hopeful is happening. In my very first month I have already passed one thousand streams, and the number of listeners and followers here and on Facebook is growing from small beginnings into something that feels meaningful. Every play and every follow truly matters.
In a few days I will also share a UHD version of my new Christmas song Approaching Christmas which appears as a bonus track on the album. If you sign up for the newsletter you will be the first to know when and where it will be available for download.
After the album release I will share more about this song and the stories behind a few others. Thank you for being here and for supporting the early steps of this journey. More music and more stories are on the way.
