UPDATE on Nicki Minaj/VMAs. Thanks so much for your love and support on my remix. Truly honored to have been given this platform to share my passion for music 🖤

To clarify - I am in no way disappointed, in fact I’m still ecstatic that my remix was even seen by the queen herself 🖤 I understand very much how show business is and to throw me in at the last minute sounds like a logistical nightmare hahah
Forreal tho, all the Barbz have been so kind to me over the last couple days. Thank you for the love and support. You all motivate me to keep grinding 🖤💕

(1 of ?) Last night’s show was important to me. It was the first time my parents got to see me play on tour. Growing up in an Asian household, my parents set high expectations for me to college and get a high paying job. I followed their plan until I got laid off during COVID.
Still on standby! After all, she did just host the

😅 she’s probably celebrating that win and back on her grind. She doesn’t disappoint, I’m not too worried 🙏🏽

Officially a Nashville resident. Feeling a lot of things atm - excitement, curiosity, optimism, fear, overwhelm. But I truly believe this is the right next step for me and my career. Looking forward to experiencing & learning everything this city has to offer 🤘🏽🎸
Another year older today and feeling so fortunate. 32 treated me so well and I hope that 33 continues to bring good vibes. Thanks to everyone in my life who bring me joy 🖤
Got my very first tattoo. Thrice is the reason I picked up the guitar. Seeing Teppei Teranishi, an Asian in the punk/hardcore scene, was a huge deal for me. Thanks for your always pushing me to be a better musician 🎸
6. On our way to Boston, I spoke on the phone with both of them. But when my dad said he was really proud of me, I absolutely lost it. I was crying in the car driving as the rest of the crew was sleeping.
7. For the first time, I felt understood by my parents. They see why I do what I do. They know this makes me happy. All I ever wanted was their support and I finally got it. Mom & Dad, thank you for being there for me 🖤
2. When I made the decision to pursue music full time, my parents were very skeptical. They felt I was making a huge setback in life when I chose to move back in with the family. They thought I wasn’t working or trying hard enough. They just didn’t understand the industry.
3. When Taylor offered me to go on tour with her, they were still skeptical because it seemed “unstable” and I wasn’t working “every day”. They would still ask if I would consider going back to my 9-5.

I would need permission from her publishers to make it official! That’s the only way it can be put out on streaming platforms. If that’s at all possible, I’d 100% drop it
4. Yesterday, they showed up to the TLA. While I was on stage, all I could think about was them. What will they think? Will they be pleased/proud/etc. I had to remind myself to play as hard as I can and put on a good show.
5. After our set, I met up with them. My mom was ecstatic, jumping for joy giving me ton of hugs. Couldn’t get a read on my dad - he was stoic but he seemed pleased. Later, Geo’s friend came up to me and said “your dad tapped my shoulder and said ‘my son right there’”

if she wants 🤘🏽🎸
Today was crazy. Blew my nose too hard 5 minutes before our set & gave myself vertigo. Regained my balance but went slightly deaf on my left ear. And it turned out to be one of my favorite shows of the tour. Thanks for an awesome time, Montreal 😂
@tayloracorn
Procrastination/poor time management = Tackling 6 studio projects in a single day, then packing ‘til 4am when you leave for tour in 4 hours. Don’t be me 💀
