Roots: From Rock Bottom to The Mountain Top

Donation protected
I live rent-free on a small off-grid farmhouse in exchange for work.
The owner doesn't allow me to register at this address, so I couldn't register my car or arrange my paperwork.
The police took my car on 14-05-2026 and hit me with a €1500 fine.

I had garden work on the side, which stopped immediately, and I have no savings.

Four weeks ago, a pack of dogs attacked me and my dog. We both ended up in the hospital with over €300 in medical bills.

My tablet and phone both crashed over the past two months.

I have nothing left but making music and finishing my album.


I don't ask for a handout, but I could use some support to get my life back together.
To work myself out of this mess.

Thanks to your previous support, I was able to buy a piece of recording equipment that made my vocal quality ten times better.

I've already recorded 20 songs since then, with about 10 more left to do before I decide which ones make it to the final album.

I need money to survive, to overcome this, and to put my last cent into this music release.


I have 3 cats and 1 dog.
I have no running water, but I finally got electricity two months ago, which is why I can make music on my computer.
I need to buy a bike and a new car, but I need an address for that first.

I am asking for your support:

  • To survive, to get ahead
  • For beats, licenses, distribution and promo
  • music equipment like active studio monitors
  • Best case scenario: Fine, medical bills, car, house deposit/rent

Despite my situation, my music is world-class.

A mix between dancehall, reggaeton, rap, pop, rock, 80s disco, and house.


When I make music, I forget my problems.
I have to get my life in order, I know that, and I am working on it.

Lost it all but my mic.

Will you be part of this music?

My gratitude is forever.

P.S. I have buried more than 10 friends, moved over 20 times across 4 countries, and speak English, Dutch, and Spanish. I wrote and recorded my first rap song with a headset when I was 14.
I am just a dreamer with a good heart, striving to act right, but life keeps hitting me on the nose.
I do want a stable life, but the lessons I've learned I will keep forever. I've already spent more than €800 on this music project. Music videos (see my updates) and singles are online.
