2023 was a year alright! Highs and lows and producing fun fun fun art. Here's a music video we made that I didn't post here. Please have a watch (and like and share)!
Song written by Natalie Wiarda (featured in the video) and produced by myself Dustin Quasar.
This video shoot day was so much fun! Hoping for more musical collaboration shenanigans in 2024. I'm also curious how this old blog works these days. If you see this, please mail me some blueberry pancakes ;)
Riding e-bikes with a fellow dad, our kids on the back wanted us to go FASTER! It was a friendly race. They started chanting "Go Daddy Go, Go Daddy Go, ..." to egg us on, with the endless repetition spirit of youth. The bike adventure days continued to happen (to the north shore, to kits beach, to downtown! e-bikes are amazing), and the song chant continued to return to delight us all.
So we shaped it into a proper kids song, with some vocal support from enchantress Nat Wiarda, and it's finally available on all the music platforms today. Please share with your dad, family and friends if you like it 🙏
Last year I took a great workshop on self-love. With all the influences and distractions of modern life, it can be difficult to focus on ourselves. That said, we always have the power to return to our centers, take a breath, and give ourselves the love we need.
I was very touched by the workshop, and have made good use of the practice. Last year I made "I ❤️ Me" stickers and gave them out at a few festivals.
This year I wrote a kids song with the same message, and it's now out on Spotify (and the other music platforms very shortly). I hope you like it. If so, please heart it, and share with a kid you love :)
