What a week! Back with the MLH gang AND Vanguard to write and produce the strings and harp for this incredible tribute to D’Angelo and Robert Flack. Surrounded by sooooooo many legendary musicians 🤯 and artists was insanity. 🫠 It was like a chaotic family reunion filled with love and respect and hugs and admiration. The way we all got it done simultaneously was nothing short of a miracle. I got a chance to not only write for the @grammys but play as well and with friends. @mslaurynhill you are one heck of a lady. Thank you and @waynemooreworld for always trusting me and I mean, always. Congratulations to everyone involved! To my squad: Stephanie Matthews @imsherie @kidinter @madisoncalley It was a good time. 😎❤️🔥

Play the 2023 Oscars for Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” in @blackpanther ✅ 💪🏾I had an awesome time performing under the musical direction of @adamblackstone &@bassicblack 🙏🏾 Huge shouts out to @stephonstrings & @stringcandymusic for this incredible experience and oh the sisterhood! This mighty team of beautiful, gifted, all black string female string section…IYKYK! And to be introduced by @danaigurira was the icing on the cake and after such beautiful words describing @chadwickboseman 🙌🏾 It’s only March. Let’s see what’s next! #legendary #thisismylifenow

While playing at the @rocnation Brunch, @djkhaled gently tapped me on my shoulder and well…here we are! 💁🏾‍♀️ You scared me, by the way. Y’all! It’s only February. 🤷🏾‍♀️🏆 #GodDid #rocnation #rocnationbrunch #whatsnext #likeandshare

I was asked to demo this for Bridgerton (clears throat). 🙃 Per their usual, the friends smashed my little arrangement of Beyoncé’s “DeJaVu.” Oh Nashville! @alicia_enstrom @violincitygirl @giderplayer #omniasessionstrings #bridgerton #stringschickmusic#beyoncé #déjàvu

Everybody’s been muting the music to hear the background vocals…

We wanted to take it a step further.

This time, listen to the strings and BGVs. 🎻
There is a whole sound happening underneath the surface that you might have never noticed.

Huge shoutout to @stringschick for the incredible string work that helped bring this song to life.

This is “Evidence”, in partnership with @worshiptogether
You can find it now on the Nothing Else album.

Turn it up.
Listen closely.
Hear what’s really happening.
