In this episode, I sit down with Riverside artist and producer Neato1997 to talk about the moments when music becomes more than sound — when it becomes the escape.

We dive into how music helped us process pain, anxiety, and feeling unheard, long before we had the words to explain it. From mental health and self-expression to producing independently and understanding the music business, this conversation is raw, reflective, and real.

If you’ve ever turned to music when life felt heavy, this episode is for you.

📖 Verbis defectis, musica incipit — When words fail, music begins.

After a long break, I’m back — and starting fresh.

In this episode, I talk about the pause since last June, streaming delays and tech glitches, and why I’m treating every year as a new season going forward. I touch on growth, shedding negativity, choosing positivity, and staying excited about what’s next without diving into unnecessary drama.

There’s some 90s nostalgia, WWE mindset, real-life reflection, and honest “still learning” energy throughout.

This season is about consistency, growth, and showing up — even when life gets messy.

Still Learning Dad is back. Let’s build.

its Men's Mental Health Month I dive deep into a personal experience of mental health as a girl dad and touch on our conversations daily
