hey gang,

welp, july 28 was my anniversary of the first song i ever made. this past year has been wild for sure. i've grown exponentially as a musician and person; i found God and got hired by a big studio, which is more than i could have ever asked for for my first year in the game. i wanna thank some of the guys that have been along for the ride, as well as my small but supportive fanbase as a whole!

thanks to @Marscael, my first fan and first friend on this site. its been great to see the two of us grow over this past year, and i'm really glad to have met you. I remember in the first month on this site, i would check my phone daily to see what you were up to cuz you was the only one i had on here; nice memories haha. those days are behind me now, but i'm happy to have lived them. good luck with your future endeavours, man!

thanks to @octopus58, for setting me on the right path early with his detailed feedback and for helping me get my first frontpage on september 21, 2024. what a day that was! i remember waking up and seeing my track Glacial Upheaval on the front page of the audio portal and then telling like everybody i knew that i was famous lol. it gave me a huge confidence boost and made me feel great about myself, so thanks for that Michael. here's to many more frontpages, in both our futures!

thanks to @larrynachos; don't see you often anymore, larry, but go on thinking i forgot about you! you introduced me not only to the concept of sub bass but also to the concept of legendary music via your track Estrella, which i have listened to more times than i'd like to admit. thank you for your support.

thanks to @OVERSCORE, who, like myself, is starting to finally see results from his efforts. you impressed me very early on with your amazing music (which you made in sunvox of all things), and your album "inevitable, inescapable" in particular served and still does serve as a great source of inspiration for me. thanks for your feedback, your confidence in me and your music, ryan. remember me when you're famous, and if i ever become famous i'll be sure to bring you up in the speech somewhere xD

thanks to @Creeperforce24, the omnipresent force that seems to have left a review on everything anybody has ever said or done because he's just such a gigachad. thanks for being there, brochacho.

and last but certainly not least, thanks to the goat @Solacitude. my first collab, first confidante, first real friend; i would be nowhere near where i am now if it weren't for you, man. any problem i've ever brought to you has been erased by your kindness, your selflessness, your wonderful piano... you're a legend dude, thanks for everything you've done for me, for being there when i needed it most. you're the best. i would go as far as to say that you are LOCKED IN.

im not gonna mass ping because i know a lot of people dont like that for some reason (fr its just a little red notification whats the big deal) but thank you to my other 54 fans, as well as my listeners and anybody else i missed. here's to a few more years, hopefully!

God bless,
