Welkom to 2019...

Welkom to 2019! It's a new year full of potential opportunities. I would like to thank all of my supporters for sticking by me during the turbulence of 2018. I also want to thank all my haters for fueling my motivation to go harder and make the business bigger this year. Without the love and the hate...I could never evolve into a better man. 

Last year was hard in business and my personal life. Some of the problems bled into my music while the others remained in the shadows. There's an old saying called Murphy's Law, which states..."Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." For me all the things went wrong around the same time. The crypto market crashed. For those of you who don't know, I'm a serious cryptocurrency investor. I started with mining bitcoin and namecoin back in 2014, and later got into trading. When the market crashed last year it caused a ripple effect damaging my other business endeavors like music and merchandising. I lost a lot of money and had to rearrange my assets to start making it back. 

Last year wasn't all bad though. I got to do a lot of traveling to places on my bucket list and released the first single off the new album "All I Want". During my travels I also got some new ink. For a long time I wanted to have my TV logo tattooed on me. In Colombia I finally got it done. 

I visited Prague - Czech Republic, Budapest - Hungary, Koh Samui -Thailand, Nesebar - Bulgaria, Alicante - Spain, Nice - France, and Cartagena - Colombia. Out of the places I visited, Cartagena had the most unique art. Their mix of Pre-Columbian imagery, bright colors, and detailed designs, created exquisite pieces of street art. At the bottom of this post are some photos from my trip to "The Walled City" last September.   

The music is moving at steady pace. Half of the new album is already recorded. This album will feature collaborations with artists from Europe and the U.S.. The first single for 2019 G.U.N. Muzik, was released January 7th and is available on all digital platforms. The song is a grimey boom bap track that sounds like a cross between DMX "Get At Me Dog" and M.O.P. "Ante Up". 

It's strange that the longer I make music the more people I meet from my past. I feel blessed to be able to work with guys I went to junior high and high school with. Seeing how all these brotha's have grown into men and musicians still passionate about their craft, keeps the fire burning within me. There is new music and videos coming so here's how you stay informed. Sign-up for the newsletter and join my social media (facebook, instagram, youtube, soundcloud) so you get the news first. Then listen to the new single G.U.N. Muzik  and buy a copy for all your friends. Last, go to my website tygervinum.com for more music and check out our stores (eBay, Amazon, Marktplaats, and Bol.com). We have awesome shirts and baseball caps for men and women of all sizes. (The last two were just personal requests...thanxx in advance.)

The Motto for 2019 is...see more, do more, go further, live better, love passionately, and enjoy life! I wish all of you a prosperous and successful year. This is just the beginning...let's get it!
