Tarmac.
“
I made
a ten-year plan to achieve success and get to a point where in 2022, I go back to my thing and I am pissed off more.
I put my family away and I'm going back to make some quiet music, I don't need to go out, no need to tour.
I'm just going back to make some sound,

Macarena
performer
