PATRON’S TOKEN: This is my first experiment in productizing patronage for my music by offering limited edition Patron’s Tokens that align with a specific + tangible expense associated with the song’s release.
With the purchase of this NFT, you will be directly supporting the Spotify playlist marketing campaign for this song, helping it to reach more listeners and connect with more fans. I’ll be working with Lynn Banks of Icon Island, a digital marketing firm based out of Toronto, Canada.
I’ve chosen to build on Base to align with their vision of bridging web3 technology with real-world impact, so shout outs everyone who’s building Base itself - and also to Cxy, my OG patron, for workshopping this idea with me!

SONG CONTEXT: This song, Overtime, was written and recorded on January 8th, 2019. It was a one-take demo from our first time meeting actually - us being me x my producers Waine (Doja Cat, Banks) and Wes Singerman (Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak), who were already good friends by then. It comes out on DSPs this Friday, March 8, 2024.
At the time of writing, I was just exiting my first relationship since my divorce. The boyfriend this song is about had provided a healing balm for my heart at a crucial turning point in my life, but things shifted when I came out as non-binary. I remember asking if he’d feel comfortable walking down the street holding hands with a boyyy… and when he said no, that was when I knew I had to dip. This song is literally me processing that letting go, and now here it is, 5 years later, a unique and precious time capsule. I hope you enjoy.
