Listen to my music

So with people's recent discoveries about me, I would just like to apologize and say I'm sorry to my friends, family, business partners, fans, and everyone in between for keeping this locked away for so long. I've taken accountability of what I did and have carried it with me since 2017. It started in 2014 when I was a teenager and started talking to a girl who said she was 17 when i was 18. I had no idea of her actual age until it was too late in 2017. There was never actually anything physical nor in person, all just pictures. The longest time I spent in a cell was around 5 hours for processing, I never went to prison or had actual jail time. In 2019 I was sentenced to 3 years of probation and went through years of therapy which I willingly did and grew from. All while this was happening I built a friend group, created beautiful art through the pains that I couldn't share with my friends. Again I am sorry to the friends who have created with me and feel disgusted to even look at me now. I knew eventually that this was going to come out but I just did not know when, it sucks I'll be honest. What I've learned from this whole thing is that being honest and open with people is the best thing I could have done, mental health is important and it's easy to lose yourself when the world is against you, and learn who your real family and friends are. I'm going to turn off the comments and if people have questions you can reach out to me directly. I would be lying if I said this was easy to do but it's not, I've been disgusted and disappointed with myself for years and I have not had many I can trust with this. Now you can do what you will with this, but I will always promote self love and self respect, take it easy on yourself and spread love. I am heartbroken but I will move on and grow from the forcing of opening old wounds. I would like to say thank you to the people who have listened and heard my story, thank you to the people who have helped in my music career. I know it's not easy to support someone who comes with a giant warning label on their back, but thank you to the people who are willing to continue supporting me.

With Love And Peace,
Real As Ever
