Good Morning

tesshenley

In celebration of my first self-produced EP, BETTER, I decided to make an at home version of the title track. 

I felt compelled to reimagine this song because it symbolizes a very pivotal moment in my life and career. 

Creating this version gave me the same feeling of joy that fueled me on the original, and the feeling that keeps my passion for music strong.

In this new space, I’m inspired to approach my songs with a fresh sense of freedom.

YTMVOD is a unreleased freestyle I both produced and mixed myself. it's in its rawest form as i've yet to decide if i'll add synths and such when it's ultimately released to streaming platforms, but i'm attached to it as is and ready to let it breathe without alteration.

YE TOOK MY VERSE OFF DONDA

Grady

I started writing "The Love Umbrella" over a year ago while I was head over heels for a really awesome person. I made 40+ songs before narrowing it down to what became my debut album releasing on October 15th.

I don't want those that got cut to collect dust - they are some of my favorites that I've ever made.

"parasol" is a collection of unreleased records I wrote for the album that didn't fit in the final sequencing. Think of it like parts of an extended film.

The owner of this NFT will receive:

- the .wav audio file
- the .jpeg photo file
- access to The Love Umbrella pre-release album live stream on October 13th
- access to my token gated archive of demos and upcoming releases
- VIP +1 tickets to one Grady headline show

This also marks my first step into tokenized music. I've become immersed in the web3 world and look forward to exploring new creative mediums to share my music with a crypto-native audience.

Thank you for supporting me on this new frontier, and stay tuned for more projects coming very soon.

Nothing More To Say (at home version)

"One moment you’re in a comfort zone, a couple of seconds later you’ve no idea what’s going on. The only piece of advice I can give you is, don’t try to make sense right away. Let yourself go. Get carried away by the current and you will see that once you have settled in, ‘Loving U’ will be a spectacular journey." - Alessio Anesi, FUXWITHIT

A song about expressing love, effortlessly. This is "Loving U".

AbJo

"the goodfoot cafe" is the title of the next full-length record I am currently in the middle of recording for, and it will be my first album I plan to tour on, as well as break (back) into the live musical performance corner of my artistry. If you didn't know already, I am classically trained, disciplined in 2 different stringed instruments (violin, viola), have professionally sessioned and played keys and drums/percussion in bands and orchestras since I was 15 years old. I grew up not just listening to great and all kinds of music, but playing, writing/composing and bandleading, even across the country before "AbJo" was a thing, something I'm pretty proud of, and is a huge part of who I am as a music artist and producer, as well as just who I actually am. This track is an original idea that kinda instrumentally sums up the vibe of this record. With a little help from the homie Alex Dyring on the bass riffing alongside me as I play the keys here, "the goodfoot cafe" is at its heart, a big jam sesh, albeit more organized and with the intent of driving a narrative, and this track is the soul of this idea.

With this piece, whomsoever holds it will be one of very few who I will give all access to every show date I play "the goodfoot cafe" at, acting as a backstage pass I will make official at every venue as a valid ticket, as well as the whole tour package curated from me personally: a signed physical copy of the record, a single piece of each merch item I sell for release of the record and from on tour, a social media post/photo-op with me, co-signed by me publicly and personally, and more. There will be more exclusive drops associated with this record where I'll hook  collectors up with exclusive content, but this is a rare 1/1 teaser of the album at large that you literally won't be able to find anywhere else.

Thank you in advance to the initial collector, either for believing in my art enough to support me in this way, or for truly appreciating the value of my music and this track enough to bet on it and me to continue reciprocating it right back with more jams from me 🙏🏽...

outro gang ("the goodfoot cafe")

Taifa

I am personally excited to release my genesis project on Catalog. It took a lot of time for me to figure out what foot I wanted to step into the "Metaverse" with, as I respect the opportunity here to truly push art forward on all frontiers. 

￼I’ve been making music for over 10 years now, and having started so young I was able to experience all the stages of grief towards my dreams before even having a quarter life crisis. To live, die, and be reborn as an artist is not something many people can say they’ve gotten the opportunity to do, however I am thankful for my experiences that have lead up to the person who exists today.

The piece I am here to share today was one that was costly to make, not financially, but more emotionally and mentally taxing. My experience with music has allowed me to feel a sense of comfortability in front of others no matter how absurd the task at hand was. I had come to a point, post-pandemic, where I had returned to doing live shows, however, the feeling of gratitude had passed. If anything, my original disposition towards art had returned; I was truly not an artist until I had taken a risk..

￼I had a running concept for a performance piece that would ultimately provoke thought and emotion. There was never really a right time to pull the trigger however as me being a smaller artist I was conditioned to think that I should be “thankful” for any of the opportunities I was given, no matter how demeaning they felt in the moment. With a sense of urgency to prove to myself my concept-to-reality ability as an artist, and with my recent success with Petty Fest, I felt there was no better time. 

Truthfully I couldn’t tell you the name of the person I opened up for; It didn’t matter. They were the perfect person, with an audience most oblivious to my intentions. The day of, I ate nothing, I asked my partner to write the messages on my skin that I thought would convey the aesthetic further. In my journal I had drawn a sketch to keep track of my thought process. Even they were left oblivious to the course of actions. 

￼When I arrived, I informed Wables that the only thing he would need to bring is dj equipment, and a mask, my goal wasn’t to burn bridges, but to do whatever I had to do to get the emotion across. 

The hardest parts truly had to be the setlist and everything leading up to the set. I spent most of the week trying to curate the demos I had to assist with the task at hand- Too aggressive and it would be seen as such, too ridiculous and people would just laugh, too sad and somebody would take me outside and ask me if was ok. With such a limited selection available, it meant I had less to work with and that I would have to rely on filling in the blanks.

The game plan was simple (it wasn’t simple at all, it was stressful as fuck):
￼
-  Make people uncomfortable as quick as possible, acknowledge the space no matter how many people were there, and remind them that they were never entitled to it or that there was never a sense of comfortability to begin with 
-  Break down expectations, never let them know your next move. If they laugh, scare them, if they’re scared, make them laugh, if they’re quiet make them loud, and when they’re too loud, tell them to be quiet. This would push them to have a sensory fight or flight response and overthink everything happening, this causes the time to slow down, each moment drawn out and taken in.
￼
- Push the envelope, (and this was something I needed to do), ultimately I had invited friends, and that meant they had a level of expectation of me and my capabilities, their presence was to assure me that I was in fact achieving my goal, it did however require me to take things to an 11..
- Make people think and make them feel, it didn’t matter what, it just needed to check this box in order for the experiment, the piece, to land.
- Last but not least, somehow accomplishing all of this, not getting arrested, not trashing the venue, not getting my sound cut or lights cut, all while trying to convey the piece.  
￼
After the performance, I had the intention of cleaning myself up, apologizing where I needed to, and explaining that it was in fact “Art” and not a Domestic Terrorist Attack, however I was dragged out the venue as arguments and problems flew across the room. This unfortunately was how I knew my piece was a success, I had provoked emotions so raw that I was to be immediately ejected from the room. I had little to no time to pat myself on the back as I knew the repercussions were around the corner. Thankfully with the help of natural wine and Xanax, I was able to turn the thoughts off and bask in the emotional satisfaction I had felt, I had finally convinced myself, I was finally the artist I had seen in mind. 

The song I am releasing as my Genesis project is called “Dark Web”, it is in its purest form as preformed in the room, in the middle of the set, at the peak of when the time had slowed down. Purchasing this, is purchasing a piece of that moment.
