These last nine days have been so fun educating fans and artists alike on how Tidal and @npub1casha... are changing the music industry for the better, and I’m so grateful for all of the direct support I’ve received from fans following these posts that are so eager to see and be a part of the change in the music industry ⭐️

2026 is going to be an amazing year, and I’m so glad to have you all be a part of it with me. Until then, make sure to listen to and support the title track “EXLESS” and my entire debut album right now on Tidal. But don’t just stop with me! There are so many incredible artists that will never be discovered or paid if the music industry continues on its current path. Maybe instead of sending hundreds of dollars a year to Spotify, pick five small artists and send them five dollars a month. It might not seem like much, but it could change our lives if you’re consistent with it. 1,000 true fans doing that is really all it takes to create a sustainable career, so I hope you’ll be one of those fans for me, and any other small artist you want to see succeed 🪄

I truly believe we are ushering in an era where artists don’t have to contend with middlemen, labels, and predatory platforms solely to get their music heard and supported, and with tools like Tidal and Cash App, that era is getting closer every day 🩷🧡✨

Over the years I’ve been asked so many times, “how can I support you directly?” Now, because of Tidal and @nprofile1q... I finally have a good answer. Instead of hoping that a fraction of the twenty dollars a month you spend on streaming platform subscriptions will make its way to me, listen to “People Pleaser” and the rest of my debut album on Tidal and send direct payments through the Cash App integration feature. Artists should be able to make a living off the art they create, so stop pleasing platforms, and start pleasing artists now on Tidal. 💛✨

Discovery is nearly impossible on the major streaming platforms today, but through the new #TidalUpload feature with direct support from @nprofile1q... enabled, YOU get to dictate what songs you discover, not an algorithm. Plus, when you listen to “Can’t Say I’m Not Trying” and the rest of my debut album “EXLESS” on Tidal, the full amount of whatever amount you send goes instantly and directly to artists like me.  💙✨

Change the way you support music by listening to “Change Your Mind” and the rest of my debut album “EXLESS” on Tidal Through the new @npub1casha... Integration feature on #TidalUpload, the full amount of what you send goes directly into the pockets of your favorite independent artists. The true artist-to-fan relationship we were promised with all the other platforms? Tidal is actually delivering on that 🩷✨

Tools like #TidalUpload and the new @nprofile1q... integration feature are truly game changers, not only for independent artists, but fans too. At this point, everyone is aware of the issues artists face when putting up their music on the main streaming platforms, but at some point, it’s up to the fans just as much as the artists to make any real change. It sounds overwhelming, but it starts by supporting just one song or artist differently. Make sure to go listen to “Up For It” and every other song on my debut record EXLESS now on Tidal, and consider supporting me directly through the new Cash App integration  ❤️✨

@npub1mwsk3... thanks for the @npub1casha... test! And for all of the support🙏

I’ve tried it a couple different ways and have never had any real success with it. I get the idea but I just don’t know if there is enough traffic to specifically blockchain apps to support it widely enough. I say whatever works for you!

If you like music, which I’m willing to bet is all of you, I’d challenge you to rethink the way you support the music that plays such a big part of your daily life. Instead of directly supporting platforms, think about directly supporting your favorite artists and songs on Tidal with the new @nprofile1q... integration feature. A perfect way to get started is by listening to Anywhere But Here, a B-Side on my album “EXLESS”, now on Tidal 💚✨

As an independent artist, I’m so encouraged to know that Tidal and @nprofile1q... are actively listening to artist’s needs and creating new tools to help us truly connect with our fans. You can listen to “You Problem” and every other track of my debut album “EXLESS” on Tidal through #TidalUpload now, support me directly through the Cash App Integration feature, and be part of the change of how artists are paid and appreciated. Link in bio to listen now and support directly 💜✨
