Thank you 2025 for the best year yet 😈

I took on and faced many challenges and have gotten a plethora of opportunities, lessons and rewards for my efforts from the universe which I am grateful for 👏🏽

A lot happened this year which would take more than 20 slides to sum up but after spending 3 whole days of reflecting, here are my top highlights of 2025 (in chronological order of events). Swipe left to read 👈🏽

The biggest thing for me was learning to DJ and take on as many types of gigs as possible to find what I really wanted to do and I found the answer in dubstep 😤

This also let me enter the EDM scene and helped me grow as an artist more than ever, bringing my original song's vocals 🎤 to new crowds during my DJ sets 🎧

I also moved back to my hometown Toronto with my fiancée Charlotte and launched my merch brand Demoncore Kvlt. We did a whole bunch of combined events and traveled to many places together ❤️

Also, my 1st official voice acting gig in a video game came out this year being Marvel’s Deadpool VR 🎮

Near the end of the year, I got a vision that got me to start reacting to bass music which has opened the floodgates for new inspirations such as live streaming again 🔥

Put out a total of 10 songs this year, the last one being the 1st song I ever mixed the vocals for myself. This opened up a desire to finally learn music production 🎛

I had the biggest shows, events and festivals of my career this year and I want you to know that I couldn't have done all this without the continuous support from my fiancée, friends, family and fans. I love you all 🫶🏽

2026 is gonna be a huge year of growth and change as I take on new challenges I have never faced before. I'll reveal each new thing when the time comes ⏳️

Demons. We going full send all year 💪🏽😈

A little token of appreciation post ✨️

Really grateful for getting to know the community this year. Thanks to them, my transition into becoming a Dubstep DJ in the EDM scene felt really natural. I felt welcomed, accepted & appreciated 🫶🏽

While I'm proud of mastering all different types of vocals (screaming, rapping and singing) and live performance over the last 13 years from being in the metal, goth, fe**sh, q***r, theatrical, reviews, & voice acting scenes, until this year, the only main high level "skill" I really had in the entertainment industry was my vocals 🎤

That totally changed this year when I started DJing. I got to experience playing all different genres I didn't get to make music in before and really felt at home in the EDM scene, specially within Dubstep & all it's sub-genres 🔥

Thanks to the Jstdrmn community, I got to meet new friends like who I got to make my 1st Dubstep song with. Then meet who I got to really learn a lot about DJing Dubstep style from our two b2b sets we did this year. Also got to meet .xvi & whom I'm working on another Villainous Dubdtep track with for next year 😈

This cutesy little Nubey Nimbus Award I won at their Dreamies event was for my Vocal performances during my DJ sets which really means a lot and solidifies the direction I've been feeling that is right for me moving forward next year as a hybrid Vocalist + Dubstep DJ 🔥
