When you've entered the boss stages of your internal battles, you don't realize how much you'll have to conquer to reach that new level within yourself.

When you're willing to take a chance on something, blessings come your way. After tonight, I'm a lot happier.

The world is a beautiful place, and I truly believe that you can't grow when you spend your life in one bubble of a place. I love seeing the gorgeous sunsets around this planet. They're calming, and they're always a reminder that at the end of the day, things will work out.

I always look back on the list of wonders around the world that I have saved. I know that the more places I go see and the more cultures I experience, I'll truly unlock the best version of myself. I can't wait for that chapter to begin.

See, this is the reason why I love smooth jazz.

Fighting back with kindness has been my greatest weapon for a good while and it's finally starting to show. Having someone straight up tell me that they don't like my happy and positive attitude is comical to me. That tells me that I'm doing something right.

Wise words from my mother

I feel like I've always been able to do great in the things I'm passionate about, but not because I crave success, but because of my fear of failure. You get to a point where you realize that it keeps you from greatness.

I should be asleep right now, but I'm reflecting on the blessings I've been given lately. 🙏🏾😌

Things have been going pretty swimmingly so far. It's been a while since I've been able to see the possible route to be able to reach my goals, and it's exciting and mind blowing. I just gotta keep this going. 😌

“Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom. Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.” — Dave Brubeck #jazz #jazzsky

I just got off of work and I'm heading to a gig, but I wanted to share something with y'all real quickly. 🧵

I'm surprised more people don't ask me enough about why I am the way I am, and having that conversation really shows you need perspectives about yourself that you didn't truly notice before. It's sorta like leveling up. Overall, it's always just a nice conversation to have with somebody.

I really have made some good friends out here and I'm grateful

Boy, what a good day 😌

God was telling me to slow down and not stress because I was doing a good job so far 🙏🏾 Also, check out this song, because it may be short, but it's smooth af 🔥🌅 (this the slowed down version btw) youtu.be/gWqDTPQxo1Q?...

Jazz is a complicated language. Not everyone who wishes to learn said language can understand it as well as others. Since jazz is a connecting genre of music, you'd think that there'd be people who'd want to see others succeed, right? Unfortunately, there are people out there who don't get that.

Yesterday, I had a stressful day to the point where I crashed out for a moment and asked myself why this was happening to me. When I went to bed, I saw my grandma last night. She saw I was in trouble and came to me. I need to slow down and remind myself that this journey is what will help me grow.

On this day in 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet recorded “Take Five” Two years later it became a surprise hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever. The single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1996. #jazz #jazzsky

“The real power of Jazz is that a group of people can come together and create improvised art and negotiate their agendas... and that negotiation is the art” — Wynton Marsalis #jazz #jazzsky

Popular music is often scoffed at in Jazz circles, but I don't care about that. I wanna share the joys of jazz with the world. No matter how technically impressive a jazz tune can be, people won't listen if you're not having fun. Cannonball Adderley taught me that.

I'll never get tired of Jazz. It's a connecting genre that brings a lot of like minded people together, like a language. It always makes me notice my faults, not only in my playing, but with everything else, and I'm grateful for where it has taken me.

I'm in a beautiful city and I can't wait to explore more of it. 😌🌃🏙️

I'm a firm believer that your dreams tell you a lot about what's on your mind that you couldn't see while you're awake.

The fact that I get addicted to a different song almost everyday is kinda cool to me. youtu.be/lk3yxu-anqk?...

Sneak peak album stuff aye!!!! 🎹🎺🎻 #promosky #musicsky #flstudio #music #album #jazz #jazzmusic #jazzsky #bigband #indiemusic #musiciansky

I always cherish the little memories of wonderful things I've gotten to experience throughout my life so far. Being able to see and learn more about life in different perspectives gives me a feeling of happiness and slight peace that I can't get anywhere else, besides music.

I have only two weeks here in this city and I'm really gonna miss these beautiful sites here. I also know that I'll hope to see tons more around this gorgeous planet. This was just scratching the surface.

jazz is about the notes you play

My dad sent me a gift because he told me that it'd be easier to make music on the go since I'm always working/doing assignments from my pharm tech course. I love you Dad, thanks for the gift 🥹🧡🎹

Internal battles aren't just about you choosing between two options. It's more about growth. The conflict can be about switching world views, or it can be about discovering a truth about yourself. External forces may guide you, but it's up to you to make the change.

This day two years ago, I went out to New York City for the first time and met one of my best friends in person. What an unforgettable experience!

Please, find a place to release your stress, fear, and anger—cry, scream, breathe. Let it out, then stand strong. The world needs you now more than ever. 💛 #photographer #photography #BlueSkyMonday #landscape #naturephotography #nature #EastCoastKin #landscapephotography #ocean #mentalhealth

Ngl, this big decision that I gotta make soon has been making think about a lot of big stuff in my life for a week and a half now. This really is gonna be a new chapter for me. I'll definitely say this: I feel like I have an idea of who I want to spend the rest of my life with. Is that crazy to say?

We sent the love to the one and only @theprominentbeg.bsky.social who's doing what he does best in the Jazz Lounge Journey. Slide on through for some IMMACULATE music and chill vibes. You know what to do...GO SHOW HIM ALL THE LOVE! www.twitch.tv/theprominent...
