A week ago, I released my single “Too Old (For This Sh*t)!
In just seven days, the song has passed 1,600 streams, been added to over 100 playlists, landed lots of press, a couple of radio spins and sparked messages from people who felt seen by it.
As an independent artist, those moments never stop feeling surreal. Each listen, each add, each note of encouragement is a reminder that these songs don’t just live on my hard drive anymore; they’re out there, doing their own thing.
This track is the second release from my upcoming album and it feels especially meaningful to be sharing it right now. “Too Old (For This Sh*t)” came from a place of reflecting on age, expectations and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) pressure to follow a prescribed version of adulthood. Somewhere along the way, we’re taught there’s a right timeline, a correct sequence and a narrow definition of what it means to be “grown up.”
I don’t really buy that.
For me, this song is about choosing joy and humour as we age. It’s about releasing the idea that we’ve missed the boat, or that there’s something wrong with taking a different route. Adulthood doesn’t have to look the same for everyone and it certainly doesn’t have to be joyless. We get to decide what matters, what we’re done tolerating and what we want more of.
If you’ve been listening and enjoying the song, thank you. Truly. And if you’re ever looking for a way to support my music beyond listening, following me on Spotify, adding the song to your library or including it on a playlist makes a real difference. Those small actions help tell the internet that this music is worth sharing more widely.
I’m incredibly grateful for the response so far and very excited for what’s still to come.
Here’s to aging with humour, agency and a little bit of defiance!
