Seeing/hearing all my NY cast mates say farewell to their friends before we head on our year long tour makes me think back on how my friends, no, my family did the ultimate surprise on the infamous surprise party master... aka myself lol by throwing me a freaking flash mob at the top of Griffith Observatory with complete choreography to my OWN DAMN SONG!!! 😂🙌🏼❤️💛❤️💛❤️ I don’t know what I did to deserve such amazing friends... but boy do I miss you guys so much and am so grateful for this special moment. I love you SO SO SO SO SO much!! #teamyellow #pbnfam #flashmob #readysetgo #taekomccarrollmusic #ihavethebestfriends (at Griffith Observatory)

My #tbt today is kinda on a serious note. There was a period in my life where depression consumed me and controlled me... Most people who know me today would probably never guess, but it was serious... This man and his band were my lifeline during those days. I can honestly say @chesterbe & @linkinpark saved my life. 5 or 6 years after my darkest days I had the opportunity to tell Chester that he saved my life and ask for a photo with him... wished he had someone or something like what he was for me. I know it's hard when your in that place... but know that even if it doesn't feel like it, there are people who love you and life always has the opportunity to get better. DON'T GIVE UP. #rip #chesterbennington #legend #inspire #change #depression #beatit #defeatingdepression #music #savinglives (at Burbank Airport)

Gonna share a little bit on my experience from last weeks performance. So I got asked by this promoter to play at this big opening mall event in Buena Park, he made it out to be this big deal where tons of people were going to be at... I was super excited cuz it would be full of people who had never heard of me so I couldn't wait to share and meet new "friends"... I paid my band to drive out a lil over an hour to play this gig for me, s/o to them 🙏🏼🙌🏼💕 @tripleddrums @naterich12 & Kyle, only to arrive and literally no guests are there... only folks who were working the event and then some parents with their 5 and under children... def not the crowd I'm marketing towards haha 😅 but the show must go on right? So we're being rushed on and told we might have to cut our set short because there was a scheduling mistake, start performing (No Tech of course) and I realize, wow I CAN NOT hear myself. I look over and realize there is not 1 single monitor facing me... but I push through since we're short on time and I want to get my whole set done since we drove out an hour and some change to play here and I'm spending my own money to pay my band. Moral of the story is, as an independent artists these are the kinds of experiences we have to go through. I'm glad it happened, even with my pitchy singing since I couldn't hear myself, and no audience, and being rushed on and off stage because I realize every chance to play is a growing and learning experience for myself and now I know, always look into what it is your playing for and make sure it's worth your time, money, and energy. Thanks for listening haha. THE END. #independentartist #struggles #livemusic #originalmusic #taekomccarrollmusic #femalefronted #femalebassist #fender #alternative #rock (at The Source OC)
