⚽️ Nothin' But Anthems Coming Your Way Sunday
|
It's a Jersey Jam! Fun fact, my late uncle was a professional NBA player when I was young. I used to love when he'd visit us in Chicago from New York, bringing all types of gifts. My favorite outfit as a kid was a gift from him when he played in North Carolina: a baby blue Charlotte Hornets jersey dress. Now while I know I wouldn't fit it for Sunday, I do wish I still had that jersey dress for nostalgia's sake. Jersey dresses are honestly the only style from the 2000s that I agree with bringing back. 😅 Anyway, I'll be playing at the Away Stage in City Hall for Nothin' But Anthems' Chicago party—themed in honor of the World Cup. I'll save you the throwback photo of me on the soccer field in second grade. I admittedly have not held on to my childhood love of sports—but I am trying to get back in touch. Invite me to your next WNBA watch party (or game IRL) and please direct me to where to get a fire soccer jersey before this weekend. I can't wait to dance with you!
Welcome to the DyasphereThis year was the best birthday I've had in several years! Not only did I play two shows that are very aligned with who I am and where I want to go in my career, I simply felt loved and considered by the people around me. While I did not vlog the day of, I did capture the weekend celebrations at ASHAWO and Vigro Deep's show for JAMA! Happy Taurus season!

What a weekend! I'm still coming off of a birthday high—from welcoming Vigro Deep to Chicago with KAxG, to bringing the hot, expensive, AND liberated energy to the first ASHAWO—my heart is FULL! This rotation around the sun I am in gratitude for you all truly seeing me through the music. Last weekend I went to global dance party Everywhere Between in hopes of getting out of a muddy energy and met four different supporters who showed me so much love!

It was so hard keeping this hush! Next week I'll be opening up for amapiano innovator, producer, and DJ Vigro Deep! I've loved playing his ultra tech and unique tracks in my amapiano sets over the years so opening up for him is such a dream. Join me and JAMA! creators KAxG for a night to remember this Thursday—plus it'll be an early night for those of you that have work in the morning. Win-win!

It's Friday again and I'm in literal awe that we're already almost done with Q1. I typically mark the new year as my birthday and I'm hoping to have a way better year (and birthday) than I've had the past three. It's been rough for many of us and music has been the one thing to keep me going. On my birthday weekend this year, I'm ecstatic to be on the lineup for a new party series ASHAWO, a space to shake nyash to Alté, Afro-house, and Afrobeats with African and diasporic queer folks!
