Amazing!

What an unforgettable ride this month has been! 🎸✨

The global finals for the TikTok LIVE Music On Stage 2026 just wrapped up, and I’m so excited to share that we finished #7 across the entire EMEA + Americas super-region!

Even more meaningful: I was awarded the "Judge’s Pick" across both the USA and Global Finals rounds. Having the official judging panel directly recognize and validate the live craft, bass, and looping performance at every single stage of this tournament means the world to me.

To my incredible Freek Squad: this belongs to you. Over the course of this journey, you showed up with over 3,000 contributors and nearly 840,000 votes from all around the world. Whether you sent a gift, voted, shared the stream, or just brought your love and energy to the chat day in and day out—thank you. You keep the funk alive! 🧡

Huge thanks to the teams at TikTok, TikTok LIVE, and ByteDance for creating spaces where live, independent musicians can connect globally without boundaries, and to the judges for the incredible nod.

The stage is just getting started. Let’s keep pushing the groove forward! 🚀🎶 (photo by Aaron Farrier)
