July 19

It’s Zane’s birthday! Zane is the cofounder of The New Hippies, and one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever met in my life. He also cares very deeply and listens when you talk to him and was one of the first people to welcome me to California and treat me like family. I’ll always be grateful and extremely proud of the music we’ve made together. There are few things more fun than playing music with Zane, and one day I hope to be able to keep up in a jam. Love you bud.

Today was also a very successful day in Manhattan. Understanding and I finished some mixes for new songs coming out in the upcoming months and we met up with a friend of Bryana’s and an old friend of mine for dinner. Good day. It’s humid out here on the east coast.
