Hey!

It’s David, and we’re back with some updates on what we’ve been up to!

🎵 Music:
Hunter and I had some killer sessions recently. I’m so grateful we still get to work on music together even though we’re an ocean away. We’re putting the finishing touches on one of our new songs. Here’s a little sneak peek from our Muse sessions.

✈️ Travel:
I took a solo trip to Dubai recently, my first ever, and it was honestly amazing.

I went out to dinner with strangers using an app called Timeleft (super cool experience), visited the aquarium, Dubai Museum, the fountains, went zip lining, and caught up with old friends. One of them is performing in Once Upon A Time in Dubai this December, so I’m planning to go back to see her on stage! Super excited for her.

I also met some local producers while I was there, and wow, the creative energy in Dubai is next level.

Oh, and after three years of wanting one, I finally got myself an iPad. I used to think it would be a waste of money, but it’s been a game changer for note taking and productivity.

Next up, Nashville in November to visit Hunter and reunite with my cats. I’m bringing two of them back to Riyadh with me cause I miss them a lot.

🎬 Artist Projects:
I recently worked on another video for John Gatta. He has so many bangers lined up that I’m super hyped for. You can check it out below.

🏊 Personal:
I finally learned how to swim after a lifetime of being really good at sinking 😂. After about two and a half weeks, I’m starting to get comfortable in the water and even learned to tread.

I also signed up for a meal plan service here in Riyadh. It’s made staying on track way easier, and it’s only about four dollars a meal.

🧠 Mental Health:
Therapy has been helping a ton. My therapist even said I’m a completely different person from three months ago, and I feel it too.

Sleep is still a work in progress, but I got a weighted blanket, and that’s helping. I also started listening to music again, something I stopped doing for a while because of burnout. It feels so good to fall in love with songs again. Lately I’ve been vibing to Keshi, INJI, IVOXYGEN, Jon Bellion, Meovv, Linkin Park, Zara Larsson, Young the Giant, and Flawed Mangoes.

Overall, things are looking up. We’re gearing up to start making content for our new releases and working on even more new music. I also made a new friend who’ll be helping us out with content soon.

Last but most importantly, thanks for being here, It means the world to Hunt & I. Seriously. 💙
