Most people think the Monday Update is just numbers and announcements — but this one exposes the truth behind the grind, the setbacks, the wins, and the decisions that shaped everything coming in 2026. When I sat down to record this month's update, I realized something wild: Every project from Handouts to Farming Humans to What Now 2 traces back to one theme — how to build something that lasts without a label, without industry backing, and without guaranteed income. This month’s update isn’t just a recap.It's a look at what I learned from: • releasing 233 tracks across 10 albums and 8 EPs • applying for grants to keep the music going • building a system to drop every Friday • fighting through mental health challenges while staying grateful • rewriting my entire marketing approach • and realizing that without community support, the weekly music releases cannot continue You’ll also hear about: • the 2026 albums already in motion • the feature track pipeline • why I scrapped Instagram sponsorships • the mastermind lessons that did help • and why December’s releases mark a turning point If you’ve ever wondered how an independent artist builds a catalog this big on disability income while trying to stay sane, strategic, and sustainable… these updates are for you.
