I know that I'm living my dream.

I don't know that I'm living the American dream.

I don't even know that I don't even know what the American dream really is.

You know like to me I'm just trying to do right by my ancestors.

I'm trying to do right by the people who made the sacrifices throughout my lineage so that I could thrive.

As an Arab American a lot of my ancestors were in survival mode.

You know thriving was not an option.

Thriving is a luxury.

I am at this point in the lineage of my family

where thanks to the sacrifices made by my great grandparents grandparents

and parents i get to thrive

and i think um it is an american dream i guess

because you know a lot of other places in the world

you know let's be real like we have a privilege to to be i'm privileged

to be um i'm privileged that this is possible for me

but that's part of the reason why i work

so heart my songs will pay off the mortgage on this

house my songs will pay off the mortgage on my parents house

and my songs are the greatest investment i could possibly ever make

because they're they're uh passive uh their passive income in perpetuity

you know i i put them out into the world

i've given them to the world uh hopefully they're a blessing to people

and i know they're going to be a blessing to create generational wealth for my family.

I own my music.

I own my masters.

I own my publishing.

And that's possible because of a couple things.

One, because I had the patience to sit it out.

In the beginning, when you start gaining traction on TikTok and Instagram and whatnot,

you'd be amazed the amount of labels that'll just slide in your email inbox.

Just like crazy.

It's like an onsla - if you have a moment, when you have your moment, and moments come, and I've had moments,

the world will come to you.

And if you're eager, if you're too eager, you can give away everything that you should own.

If you have the patience and believe, I truly believe the universe will always give you what you manifest.

And I just constantly told myself there's got to be a better way than these labels.

There's got to be a better way than giving them 70%, 80%, even 50%.

There's got to be a better way.

And like, man, I can't tell you the amount of calls I was on where they're like,

look, man, like you can continue to chase something that's not out there, or you can help us help you scale your business.

And I just, something in me was like, no, this is possible.

And then there was like 15 emails back to back to back from Jordan Weller.

And those emails changed my life because eventually I'm like, man, this kid is nonstop.

I was like, shit, maybe I'll give him a phone call.

And then we hopped on that call and he explained to me the entire model of Indify, the story of Indify.

And I dead ass got off the phone thinking like, that's way too good to be true.

Like there's gotta be a catch.

But it was, it's true.

Like Indify X and East, like that is the model.

That is what we've proven.

I've been able to partner up with strategic partners that have taken my songs to the moon, literally.

Number one in countries, top in charts, without giving up any of my masters, which is insane.

But it's really not insane.

It's real.

It's real life.

That's what we're proving.

That's what you and me, you, Connor, Jordan, me, my team, that's what we're proving, that this is real.

And I hope that any artist, any upcoming artist, any aspiring artist that watches this understands

Like, you don't have to go the traditional route.

You don't, like, in fact, the traditional route is understanding right now that it has to shift towards where we're at if it wants to survive.

Four years ago, I was just recently, like, I'd recently become a BART attorney in Virginia, and everybody was so proud of me.

And the family was proud of me.

The community was proud of me.

The friends were proud of me.

I wasn't very proud of me at the time at all.

and I remember I was sitting in the driveway.

My best friend Yusuf was leaving my house and then I dap him up.

I'm like, all right, I'm gonna head out.

You know, I shut the door, dap him up again.

He rolls down the window and this was like the fourth goodbye and I was like,

I think I want to tell him that I want to do music.

And I'm thinking about it now like it was a scary moment it was definitely a scary moment but I felt

very safe to tell him that this is what I wanted to do probably

because I knew he would he would respect it and he would believe in me

And that conversation went on for like four hours.

I literally stood on the side of his truck for literally four hours in my driveway.

And I get emotional thinking about it because before that moment,

I don't think I realized that my friends were going to believe in me as an artist.

And it only takes really one friend.

So I ended up back here.

I was back at Domino's delivering pizzas, like with the bar certification and everything.

But I felt more purposeful here.

I felt more purpose delivering pizzas.

Because in a weird way, delivering pizzas is like being an artist, right?

Like you are catering something to people that brings them together.

You are bringing something to communities, to families that they've been waiting on, that they've been craving, that sustains them, that subsists them.

It's service work.

Delivering pizza is service work.

Being an artist should be service work.

I see myself in service to my fans, to my listeners, to people who find my music.

Sometimes it's a repeat customer, someone who's ordered the pizza before, someone who has me on their playlist.

Sometimes it's someone who's brand new, someone who's never heard of me.

And when they open that door, when you have the pizza, You have about five to ten seconds.

You got about five to ten seconds to make an impression.

It's the same thing with music.

It's the same exact thing with music.

You've got to make sure when someone discovers your music that you're giving them something to sink their teeth into.

You're giving them something to feel.

I genuinely feel like I am in many ways still delivering pizzas as an artist.

100

Everything I need for my music can be done in this car.

101

I write in this car.

102

This is the whole album in this car.

103

I record in this car.

104

SM7B, you know, like a Focusrite.

105

It's low -key.

106

I record in this car.

107

I distribute music in this car.

108

I share music with my fans in this car.

109

I go live and do concerts in this car.

110

You can do everything you need for your entire career in this car.

111

In this roll -up window, you know, no

112

Bluetooth, 2010 Ford Focus, my whole career took off.

113

I was sitting in the parking lot right over there, and I recorded a video of Slip, and it went crazy.

114

And I went home, and I was like so jazzed, because I knew that song was special.

115

And this was right at the beginning of TikTok.

116

We're talking like three years ago, right?

117

Before any of my friends had accounts, back when people were mocking me for posting on this app, right?

118

And this TikTok for Slip went crazy.

119

And then next thing you know, you know, obviously you know, we had the moment with Justin Bieber in this car where

120

I'm sitting in this car having chicken tenders with my best friend, with Yusuf.

121

We're just in a parking lot a couple miles away.

122

I'm sitting here having chicken tenders these Evan Chicken Tenders, we're having an argument about what's the best honey mustard.

123

And I'm like, fuck it, let me go live.

124

My fans will find this funny.

125

And we go live, and then Justin tunes in, and next thing you know, I'm holding a concert for 70 ,000 people in this car.

126

So these are moments of traction that for me, we're like, okay, life will never be the same.

127

I think the key is to not worry about doing what everybody else is doing.

128

The car works for me.

129

It might not work for somebody else some people might hate

130

being in their car some people might prefer to be in

131

their studio some people might prefer to be you know in their bedroom some people might prefer to be anything

132

you know at a park I think it's very important for artists

133

and creatives to let themselves feel safe to create right

134

I feel safe to create in this car I'm not ashamed of

135

that I don't care what people think it's not to me it's not there's nothing shameful in

136

that I feel safe and comfortable here.

137

My creative self feels fully unchained in this car, right?

138

So why would I go anywhere else?

139

If I'm rocking here, if the videos are booming here anyways, why would I care?

140

I think people just give too much of a fuck.

141

Go where you feel comfortable, where you feel safe to create.

142

And if people rock with it, wonderful.

143

If they don't, wonderful.

144

It really doesn't matter.

145

It's a beauty for me that the car works in that way, but at At the end of the day, it's not about the car.

146

It's just about letting yourself feel safe to create.

147

Do I want to have the life of the superstars we see on social media?

148

No. No, I always want to live here in Virginia.

149

I always want to be true and present for my family and the people I love.

150

But I want to be a superstar in the sense that I shine as bright as can be.

151

I want to be a superstar in the sense

152

that my music touches the world in the most brilliant way that it can.

153

I may not have to leave this car to do that.

154

I won't move to L .A to do that.

155

I won't move to somewhere else.

156

I'll do that right here.

157

I see a farm 10 years from now.

158

I see solitude 10 years from now.

159

I see children.

160

I see fields to play in.

161

I see peace, right?

162

Thank God for all my successes so far, all the moments, all the followers and listeners.

163

These are all fulfillments of the things we manifested.

164

But at the end of the day, there could always be more.

165

There could always be more.

166

There's an infinite scale.

167

So when we talk about scale and how far is this thing going to scale,

168

I have to be conscious of the fact that if I'm not content now, I'll never be content.

169

If I'm not content now, if I'm not happy with my success now, if I don't feel like I've already made it now,

170

if I don't take this moment to celebrate now, when will I?

171

5 million, 10 million, 15 million?

172

Because it's always going to feel the same.

173

It's always gonna feel like we're one step away from the next step.

174

There's a million steps.

175

So I think this is a note to artists with no followers

176

or 100 billion followers or someone in between like me, right?

177

Be happy now.

178

Be proud of yourself now.

179

Be content now.

180

Look around now and realize that you should be proud of yourself just for trying it.

181

Just for, you became, I became a success the moment I just tried.

182

The numbers are not why I'm a success.

183

The numbers are great.

184

They're an affirmation that people connect with my music, but the success came when I chose this.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
