Almost a year ago a South African kid left home with a suitcase and a keyboard. A year later that same African kid was given an opportunity to produce a song for @Beyonce. That kid is me, and I’m humbled.

These days I leave the studio at midnight. It feels like the old days at UCT. Working until security kicked me out. Back when all I had was big dreams and making music felt exciting. It’s feels good to feel that again.

@AbelowRob Surely there’s some sort of antitrust situation the feds should be eying?

Big news for the indie music world. UMG just bought Downtown Music for $775M. Downtown houses some of the most vital tools & services available to the independent music sector: CD Baby→ Distribution for 2m artists FUGA→ Infra for top indie labels & services Songtrust→ Pub admin for 445k songwriters Curve→ Royalty services for 1,500 indie labels UMG now owns this ecosystem—giving them control over distribution, publishing & label services that power countless independents. Every year, indies gain market share. Majors fight back the only way they know how: consolidation. Sony bought AWAL for $420M UMG just bought indie stalwart PIAS. Now Downtown. I guess if you can’t beat the indies, buy them.

It’s always 1:12am when you realize it’s the time to leave

Ok hear me out what if all the @OfficialManana Manana fans picked a date and we just played our favorite song on repeat the whole night? 👀

There are two types of people in this world: Teletubbie babies and Barney babies. And science shows the through rigorous studies that Barney babies are significantly more well adjusted and successful and adults. Fight me.
