My song "System Failure" recently passed 4 MILLION streams on spotify! Thanks for gettin' reeled in! ♥️
I love video games. So much to look forward to, and so many new songs to hear >:)
Life has been pretty rough lately, mentally and physically. But this community and my love for my work and commissions has kept me together, now and so many times before. I love and appreciate you all so much. Thanks for being such a kind community that uplifts me and others ❤️
The finishing touches I just barely ran out of time for on stream. Happy Birthday @shadycicada.bsky.social #art #b3d
Today's my birthday! So many of my dreams have come true through this career path, and it's thanks to all of you giving some guy in his bedroom some support. You guys always motivated me to become better in so many ways, and I'm proud of where I am (and sleepy 😂) there will be more music, always (:
Just realized that music takes...effort? Did anyone else know about this?? I'm think I'm gonna be sick... >:)

Appreciate you all (: I don't post often, mainly because of music work and life (+ social media can be a little exhausting). But I'll always be here to put out the best work I possibly can. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you some fun things this year 😄 Thanks for the support!

ARTISTS, I appreciate you all very much. Don't ever let the words and actions of others deter you from your passion. I love seeing your work and the entire creative process behind it. Keep sharing your worlds with us and rock on (: I shall c o n s u m e
In about a week, I'll have a new demo reel out (first one in 5 years), including a ton of songs I made for actual video games and stuff! It all still feels surreal, and I couldn't do any of this without all of you (: Very excited!
Artists (of all kinds), what are your personal tips for burnout? Here's some of mine (: - Take walks - Try playing another instrument - Listen to music that you love. (Especially if it's a new soundtrack) - (Important) Take a break and go do a hobby that you enjoy! - Friends!
A little bit of Piano and Strings for you today! Making some melody ideas.
Spooky times ahead! Streaming Modded Lethal company with friends now! Feel free to come hang (: www.twitch.tv/shadycicada
Ah man, I missed the Undertale submissions, but I'm sure this community knows how much that game means to me. + Having a video of mine retweeted by the man himself has done more for myself and my video game music career than he'll know. And for that, I'm grateful (:
I had the awesome opportunity to write a song for this game! Super excited to see a release date 😄 Feel free to check it out if you like Rhythm games and Roguelites!

Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4 were absolutely amazing. Some of the best music yet as well (: definitely gave me some motivation and inspiration. (If you haven't played it, go do it!). And thanks to those who joined me on stream for it! We laughed and cried. Good times 😄
Mario Kart World is already a contender for one of the best Mario OSTs, but the final area of the final track might have one of the best melodies ever produced in the series. I may have had tears in my eyes for the whole course. We've come so far! Glad to have you all here (:
