october, restore my rhythm and magnify melodies that soothe my spirit, realign me with the assignment to myself i abandoned, while i forgive all the pieces of me that pushed for pause. drive my discernment to destinations that don't demand that i dilute my depth.
I spoke with Courtyana about the years between releases, growing up in Crenshaw, her classical/opera background, losing her grandmother, finding creative freedom and what brought her back to music.
Her new single “PTSD” is out now / @courtfondaism

We spoke family lineage, creative patience, independent artist ownership and what comes next.
insightful conversation on the journey behind the voice.

september, relocate my attention and house it in love, redistribute my energy and pull it out of every room where i’m the only one paying rent. allow me to see myself without borrowing anyone else’s eyes, to hold myself without waiting for hands that feel familiar. be tender.

august, ignite my intentions and defuse any doubts, edify my endeavors and clear any confusion. pour patience into my cup until it overflows and drowns out any noise coming from old wounds with new voices. guide me away from what glistens and closer to the gold within me.

july, cleanse my intentions in light. remove anything that blocks me from seeing myself, the layers i’ve outgrown, the noise i’ve mistaken for direction and the versions of me that were only meant to be temporary. make room for the parts of me that don’t need permission to exist.

What happens when the culture’s primary vehicle shifts from music to sport?
@Arsenal , PSG and the Knicks aren’t just teams. They’re cultural institutions carrying the hopes, identities and aspirations of communities across London, Paris and New York.

june, deepen the devotion i have to myself and dull any distractions that stop me from seeing myself clearly. dissolve the disguises that hid my worth behind everyone else’s comfort so i can take up space without rehearsing an apology for it. may i never abandon my magic.

If you’re Black British. This is the most fertile time to be a creative. Please. Believe in yourself. Birth your imaginations. Collaborate to bring things to life. You’re in one of the richest countries in the world and the infrastructure is there. Don’t sleep on yourself

may, serenade my senses and sharpen my softness. feed me the discernment to spot energy traps and enough love for myself not to fall into them. let me move at the pace of my own peace without stopping my dance for those who can’t handle the rhythm of my progression. be bountiful.

End of an era. Feels like the Jinx, Scottie, Speedy moment in culture has moved on, what they did in hip-hop media digitally won’t be forgotten. All are still successful and in operation, but the landscape has shifted
end of an incredible era. after 10+ years, ive decided to step away from Complex and my show "360 with Speedy" to go independent and enter into some new partnerships. getting to work alongside some of my best friends and travel the world doing what i love has been the honor of a lifetime. Complex has been the best partner i could have ever imagined, and my life has changed forever because of them.
interviewing, hosting, and connecting with people on a deeper level has always been at the heart of who I am. im excited to continue to do that with new partners and audiences, and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has in store
