I'll Never Forget You 2024!

Christmas has come and gone, and just like that, another year passes by with Ball in the House! I can’t believe it…when 2025 hits, it’ll mark 5.5 years of traveling, performing all types of shows, and making music with the greatest: Jon Ryan, David Guisti, Montario Hill, Wallace Thomas, Tyler Nordin, JourneyDay Rhorer, and Oscar Hall - my brothers in every sense 💙

From my first tour in 2019 with 74 shows across the Midwest, to navigating the challenges of a pandemic with virtual performances, to releasing new original music in 2021 after a 12-year hiatus, this journey has been nothing short of incredible. The release of “Ordinary Day” sparked the itch to keep creating, and paved the path to begin an all new original album for the band!
​
This past year brought new milestones, like being on the first round GRAMMY® ballot for “Knock, Knock!” in multiple categories and diving into songwriting for the first time -- a breakthrough that’s completely changed how I approach music. I connected with some incredible artists and producers during this time and received tremendous support. What a community, a huge thank you to The Recording Academy/GRAMMYs® for all that you do for music creators!

By far the biggest challenge this year was traversing and balancing parenthood with my music life! There's no more "I'll just get to it when I can", being a parent is a 24/7 job in itself, period! Yes, there were times of struggle with navigating the big change in my work and creative flow; I definitely felt a rut in my music making. I had to make a complete pivot on what I was doing, and hit the refresh button...so, I began to record more voice memos when ideas came, so I wouldn't forget. I started to block off specific periods of time where I could just be creative and free. I soon found a better groove with finishing work when on the road with BitH! Of course, this all could change again (🤣), with my 2nd son, Luca Miguel, making his debut in late March 2025 🎉 🙌🏼 ❤️

Let me tell you, especially to my creative friends, for those who are new to parenthood or going through big shifts in their entire process: it gets better!

✨ ✨ Hold yourself accountable, be patient, take it one day at a time, and never give up! ✨ ✨

With all that said, none of this would be possible without the love and support of our families, fans, and especially my wonderful wife, Alex Cincotta-Guest, whose encouragement keeps me going. I’m forever grateful for you ❤️
​
Here’s to 2025 -- our best is yet to come! Let’s get it going! 🔥
