One month ago, I had 32 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Today, that number is 971.

Let that sink in for a second.

A year ago, I was fighting a battle that almost took everything from me. I was depressed, broken, exhausted, and trying to convince the world I was okay when I was falling apart inside.

Yesterday, I celebrated 13 months clean.

Today, 971 people are listening to music that was born from recovery, redemption, faith, and second chances.

This isn’t just about streams.

It’s about proof that God can take the darkest chapters of your story and turn them into something that helps other people keep going.

In just 28 days:

🔥 32 → 971 monthly listeners
🔥 +939 new listeners
🔥 Nearly 3,000% growth

I don’t say that to brag.

I say it because there was a time I didn’t care if I woke up tomorrow.

Now I’m watching God do things I never thought possible.

To everyone who has streamed a song, shared a post, added a playlist, sent a message, or simply believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself…

Thank you.

We’re only 29 listeners away from 1,000.

Let’s see what happens next.

Not my plan.

Still His purpose. ❤️

13 months ago, I wasn’t fighting to live.

I was just existing.

I had become a master at faking a smile. I could laugh in a room full of people while completely falling apart inside. I could tell everyone I was “fine” while depression was slowly convincing me that nothing would ever get better.

The truth?

I didn’t care if I lived or died.

I wasn’t making plans for a future because I honestly didn’t think I had one.

Every morning felt heavy. Every night felt longer. I was exhausted from pretending to be okay.

Then one day, something changed.

Not overnight. Not all at once.

I just decided to take one step.

Then another.

Then another.

When I hear Andra Day sing, “And I’ll rise up, I’ll rise like the day,” it hits differently now because that’s exactly what recovery has felt like.

Not flying.

Not soaring.

Rising.

Slowly. Painfully. Imperfectly.

Rising after every mistake.
Rising after every setback.
Rising after every day I wanted to quit.

13 months later, I’m still rising.

Today I have hope.
Today I have purpose.
Today I have dreams again.

The depression didn’t win.
The addiction didn’t win.
The lies in my head didn’t win.

God did.

If you’re reading this and you’re in a dark place, hear me when I say this: the person you are today is not the person you have to be a year from now.

Keep going.

Take the next step.

Then the next one.

One day you’ll look back and realize you didn’t just survive the storm…

You became stronger because of it.

And when that day comes, you’ll see that the version of you who wanted to give up was never the end of your story—it was the beginning of your rise.

Andra Day

🔥 ONLY 122 TO GO! 🔥

When I started this journey, I never imagined I’d be saying this…

888 Monthly Listeners on Spotify! 🎉

That means we’re now just 122 listeners away from hitting 1,000 monthly listeners for the first time ever.

Every stream, save, share, playlist add, and follow has helped get us here. This isn’t the result of a major label or a huge marketing budget—it’s the result of real people connecting with real music.

If you’ve been listening to Amazing Grace, One More Mile, Don’t You Go, or are excited for Small Town Boy, thank you for being part of this ride.

🚜 122 to go.
🎵 1,000 is in sight.
💚 Let’s make it happen together.
