Hi HoneyGees, hope you’re all doing well! I wish I had tons of good news to share with you all right now but unfortunately, I can’t. See, around Jan 4th, I came down with an illness and we weren’t sure what it was at the time. However, as time progressed and symptoms began to increase in quantity as well as severity, it became clear that it was covid and a test later proved our suspicions. It’s been rough to put it lightly but being glued to my bed with nothing to do but think, watch kdramas and wish I were feeling better, has given me a lot of time to think and reflect on things. I feel very grateful first off that my symptoms were not/are not as bad as they could have been. Some people were not as lucky as I have been through this ordeal and some have even lost their lives. I am lucky to say that my immune system has been doing everything in its power to fight through this and I’m blessed to say I feel that I’m slowly coming out of the other side thanks to the help of family and friends. It’s been a nightmare but I think it could have been a lot worse. I’ve been home in bed just trying to feel normal again. I have missed just getting up and walking around. Basic tasks such as just making myself a bowl of cereal or going upstairs to find a jacket has been damn near impossible for me between the nausea and shortness of breath. Today, however, I realized I can do these things again. I am starting to get back my usual level of energy, my mood is improving along with my health and I’m starting to eat actual meals again. Please take care of your family and loved ones who are suffering from any kind of illness. This has really opened my eyes to not only covid related illnesses but illnesses that cannot be easily seen. There are people out there fighting invisible battles every day. We can do a lot just by paying a bit more attention to them, doing what we can to help and even just listening. One thing i really missed while I’ve been sick is you, HoneyGees. I’ve missed talking to you all, replying to fan letters, hearing feedback about the new songs with a light heart and hearing about your days, knowing what you’ve been up to. A lot of you shared my music with your friends and family while I’ve been lying here feeling so unproductive and I can’t thank you enough. I missed not being able to work on music and sing, write out my thoughts and allow myself to be inspired by every day life. I was jealous of other artists who were sharing content and behind the scenes pics of recording sessions. I couldn’t go anywhere (still cant) for fear of spreading the virus or becoming even more ill. To be honest, I’m still afraid to go out even when I fully recover and complete my quarantine. It’s so scary to think I might go out into the world just to repeat what I’ve just been through. However, I know I can’t stay afraid forever and life must go on so I’ve been thinking about what I can do when I am better. Now that I am coming somewhat back to life it seems, I can’t wait to share these new plans I have in store for BabyGee and BabyGee Music. As some of you are aware, Youtube Red and Distrokid keeps confusing my music with a rapper of the same name and it’s very frustrating not just for myself but for the fans as well. I don’t feel confident in actively promoting my artist channel and I don’t like sharing the page in general if I can help it. I have contacted both companies and it seems they are dragging their feet on the issue so now I’m taking matters into my own hands and trying to find a way around this issue. That’s why I want to ask you, HoneyGees what you would think of me opening my own youtube channel that is separate from Youtube Red? At first, I unfortunately cannot bring you high quality video content or mvs but I can create my own channel that would be strictly for BabyGee content and whatever I decide to upload in the future. I am thinking to start small with lyrics videos. HoneyGees would be able to create playlists with original songs and learn the lyrics at the same time. Next, I would be uploading videos of cover songs and lastly (for now) I would be uploading random BabyGee videos of my choice. This may be anything from baking a cake to behind the scenes cuts to an acoustic session, maybe even special lives! Do you think you’d be interested in subscribing to my channel? Let me know what you think! I also want to let you all know my birthday is coming! Feb 7th is right around the corner and I’ve been thinking about what I can do to celebrate. If you have any ideas, please let me know but one thing I like to do is release a new song. Last year, I released Opposites Attract and it became a fan favorite. I was so happy to see the positive feedback from that song that I wanted to do something similar this year. I actually have a song written in mind that is a bit different in style from your typical BabyGee sound so I hope you all will enjoy this as I continue to show you new sides of myself as a person and an artist. Lastly but never least, I want to thank you all who have subscribed to the official BabyGee Newsletter. I love getting your messages and fan letters. Now that I’m starting to feel better, I am so excited to be able to go through each and every one of them and respond. Please give me some time as there are quite a few and I don’t want to half heartedly respond to you all. Thank you so much for the overwhelming love and support on the new singles and there will be more to come soon! This time, I will send you a picture of my best friend and partner in crime, Misu! She has been taking good care of your BabyGee and I couldn’t possibly have come this far without her love and support. ^^
