Less than 10 days away!!!!
I often think to myself that I’m bothering people when I talk about my releases but then sometimes I remember how annoyed I get with my really talented friends when they don’t hype themselves up so I’m trying to take my own advice here a little bit lol

BIG UPDATE: I'm FINALLY launching my Patreon!!

FULL MESSAGE BELOW:
Hey guys! Snacks here.
I’ve been thinking about how to do this for a while, and I want to share this honestly, as I sometimes tend to (over)do.
Over the years, I’ve poured so much of myself into making music, teaching, building community, and showing up, both online and off. I’ve been lucky to have some incredible moments: national tours, collabs with my favorite music tech companies, teaching at Berklee (that was a real doozy!!), and connecting with SO many of you in ways that have meant the world to me.
But here’s something I’ve been reckoning lately:
I have made things way harder for myself by being too shy to ask for support.
This industry is volatile as heck, and I’ve been very transparent about when things are great and also in times when I just need a little bit of help in order to get over the finish line.
Additionally, I know I have so much to offer this community - personal feedback, support, an ear to bounce ideas off of (and to vent to, that happens too lol), tech insights, strings, even... hot sauce.
On top of that, there’s some really exciting stuff in the pipeline that I’ve been pouring serious sweat equity (or dare I say sauce equity? is that gross?) into. Like, really, very cool big collaborations in the works that I would love to get y’all in on before it takes off. I know maybe this sounds like hype-speak but I really mean it - and I am virtually incapable of lying online, for better and for worse.
All that said, I’m launching my Patreon.
Meaningful resources, a nerd-based ecosystem, human feedback, demos, real no-filter behind-the-scenes updates, and a coaching program for folks who are trying to level up what they’re capable of.
For the first time, it’s a space where I can offer things like helping y’all finish YOUR EPs, or jump-start producing YOUR demos or even play strings for YOUR tracks. I’ve been scratching my head for years how to put this all together, and I think this model is that answer. It’s just a more intentional way to keep creating and connecting, and to provide cool resources at a sustainable level for a community that has really meant everything to me over the years.
This is a way for those who feel connected to the work I do to support it in a tangible way, starting at less than < 1 Los Angeles priced cold brew a month.
There’s no pressure, no obligation. I’ll still be here wherever you’re reading this! But if you want to be part of that inner circle, I’d love to have you.
Thank you in advance for helping make this all possible
<3

SURPRISE!! Introducing ‘The Sauce Factory’!! I’m hosting a brand new series that talks about music production, tech & lifestyle with a bunch of the industry’s finest 💫
Each episode also features a “Secret Sauce” segment where we get to see super neat and innovative workflows from established professionals and notable up-and-coming artists 👀
We also have … a lot of fun in these episodes lol.
The Sauce Factory is not just a show, either ☝🏻 It’s the beginning of an education-based ecosystem as well. I’ve been teaching and leading workshops for several years and love how electronic music education & technology has been such an integral part of my career as an artist. That being said, TSF is also going to be an online academy & community specifically curated by yours truly 😗👌🏻 more on that later, though!
The first episode drops TOMORROW and we got a LOT in the pipeline for y’all!! To keep up with us, follow @thesaucefactory.friendship on IG 💫

“I don’t got much, but what I do got, I got a lot of” 💙
Trying to make sure that I’m here for the community that I love so very much - all relevant links are in my bio!
A huge shoutout to @meris.us for working so closely with me on this - they have also been impacted by these fires (we had been working on something so fun and had to postpone it due to all of this) but they are responding with such generosity. ✨💙
Session availability just opened up for February and slots for this Sunday’s mixing workshop are still available! Calendly.com/lilbadsnacks
100% of proceeds from Bathtub Bumps (via bandcamp) will be donated to musicians in my immediate community. Bathtub Bumps was originally written as a place of calm during the chaos of 2020, and it feels like the right vessel to support the very musicians who were on that project and have been directly impacted during this time 🫂
Love you all and thank you for making support like this possible ❤️❤️
