Infinite Choice is a video from my debut album, IMAGINE + REALITY. Each week, I plan on posting an old video of mine as a little change up of posts, a charge of energy/motivation and a flash to the past – I’m calling it The Universe Hug Series! My mom always taught me that the little signs/synchronicities the Universe gives are like little hugs, thank you Mom!! So, my hope with this series is to give you many Universe Hugs! I hope this helps you on your journey and reminds you that life is just a sequence of choices we choose creating our reality! Be fearless and free -Ace -

Fear’s Invitation
My hesitation
To your invitation
Turns into my elevation
Of spirit, soul, and love
Locking your door
You’ll never get in anymore
I will always decline
And there’s nothing you can do to change my mind
AceI’ve been writing so many poems lately, this one came to me one night before I fell asleep. Micro poems are new to me, I like the long ones normally, but today this felt right. Expect more poems! If the title is lowercase then you’ll knows it’s a poem. I hope this helps you on your journey and reminds you to live your life fearlessly! And now for the releases 😁
In case you missed it, album #2 is on the way! The link above is my announcement video, it’s really short and I encourage you to check it out.
FREEDOM 💛 – 1.11.21 More to come, but I’m excited to finally share this album’s name and soul (the cover I’m apparently calling its soul 😂). Be fearless and free -Ace

Destiny said, “I am what you create me to be.”
I replied, “Actually, I AM you.”
Who knew two lines could hold such power?

There are a lot of heavy energies in the world right now, I feel them and I see them. Energy, vibration and frequency are all one. Together, they are extremely powerful and we all have the ability to feel them, some more than others and this can be very overwhelming. But that is our choice, it is ok to have some low moments and to feel the downs, but we always have a choice to to emerge and to reconnect with love and the peace within it.
2020, I truly believe has helped us become more in touch with ourselves, our thoughts, our emotions and our beliefs and that is a beautiful thing. No matter what those thoughts, beliefs or emotions are, I think we can all agree that we know ourselves better. When you know your true self you know your feelings, your heart, your higher self, your intuition and your mind which brings you more in touch with the Universe. I think patience is becoming harder and harder for all of us and that is completely understandable, but impatience causes so much anxiety and fear. I caught myself a few times in the past couple days worrying about the future or certain things outside of my control and I brought myself back to the moment, blocked out my little mind trying to keep me in a tunnel of thinking and reconnected with what and who I love. Impatience is natural, but what needs to be more natural is trusting the Universe. When you trust the Universe, you trust yourself and you trust that your journey is exactly meant to be for you. (Little hint, your journey is perfect and everything in your life has a reason. The Universe is always loving and supporting you because you are it and it is you 💜).
So, with the heavy energy and maybe you’re feeling a little low, I encourage you to reconnect with what you love, who you love, and the love you have for and within yourself. Do the things that bring you joy and that make you feel great, surround yourself with the people that lift you up and that inspire you to be better versions of yourself and tap into your higher self and let it be the only voice in your head. When you are doing what you love, your mind, your little mind, turns off and even the real voice in there quiets down, because your passion is your purpose and thinking isn’t necessary. Your heart, your soul and your intuition take over because you are living your purpose and that purpose makes you full, complete, free and alive. That frequency of doing what you love and fulfilling your purpose is the highest frequency alive, it’s the frequency of love and your mind will never get in the way of that energy. It is too powerful.
So, with all that being said, below are some things that I love to do, that bring me joy and that turn off my head. My purpose for right now is to help raise the vibrational frequency of the planet and to give you the gift the Universe gave me, to truly be the fearless and free soul that you most definitely are.
Poetry is just a part of who I am, I fell in love with poetry the moment I started writing my first poem. Dreams are adventures I look forward to every night, I’ve written so much about them and through dreams I’ve learned so so much. This poem came pretty easily because when I combine two things I love, the words just write themselves. If you know me, you know making videos is one of my favorite things to do! I discovered video-making just a few short months ago and I’ve dived into it. The process of making a video and the zone you get into is unlike anything else. This is my favorite video from my debut album IMAGINE + REALITY. It is called Leap and it’s about relationships and connection, which for some reason, is one of my favorite things to create and write about. It was very tempting to put a new video in this article, because, psst, a little secret, I’ve been working on something big that includes new videos! Soon, you’ll know what that something I’m working on is. 😁 
I love to create and to encourage you to strengthen your relationship with the Universe, you. So, making quotes and images like this comes so naturally to me. Cooking (always vegan of course 😁) is one of my favorite things to do. It is almost therapeutic and in a world where immediate results aren’t a common thing, cooking is so fulfilling in that way. It feels good to feed your body and soul really good, tasty and healthy food that will help you thrive! I made this video a little while back, this meal was so fun and exhausting to make. 🤪 I had this idea to do around the world tapas and I made that idea reality within hours! 
I love music, so much. It brings me peace of mind, it helps me get in touch with my feelings and it comforts me in the tough moments. I especially love lyrics, and this image I created has a few of my favorites right now. When music is on, I am creating and my mind is off. I very much love writing, so writing this article and creating everything in it was incredibly fun, peaceful and soothing to me! It is truly amazing when you do what you love how much your vibration raises. I hope this article helps you on your journey!! I really encourage you to do what you love, connect with who you love, and to give yourself a little extra love. Love is all that really exists, let’s all tap into it today and always!! Comment with what you love to do and your thoughts/favorites about this article!! Be fearless and free -Ace 🖤

Happy one month IMAGINE + REALITY!! I can’t believe it’s only been a month, I feel like I’ve known you forever! I’m re-posting you because I feel you have even more light to shine and the timing feels right, we all need a little escape from reality and a little re-charge to our vibration. Thank you for being the light, for spreading the love, and being a part of my heart and soul forever. 🖤 -Ace This album is totally me. I always marvel about how powerful our minds are and that we create our entire reality. When I look back in my past, I can see things that I thought were so real but really, I created it all. Life is much more freeing when you realize you are in utter control of the reality you live in. I hope this album brings people that freedom and inspires them to imagine and dream big for it will become reality; I promise you. I was inspired by Ava Max’s new album Heaven & Hell where she did 7 heaven songs, 7 hell songs and 1 in between. I, of course, made it completely my own. 17 is such a powerful number, this year especially, so I knew 17 was the number of videos I was going to make. And to have 8 imagine and 8 reality seemed right because 8 flipped is infinity and I want this album to bring you infinite inspiration, freedom, imagination and fearlessness. So, the first 8 videos are IMAGINE, the 9th video is IN BETWEEN and the last 8 videos are REALITY. In the coming days I’ll take you behind the scenes and do a Q&A so I can explain the full journey of IMAGINE + REALITY. But right now, enjoy these amazing videos! I encourage you to go in order because these all flow so nicely into each other. Or watch what stands out for you personally because the Universe will show you what you need to see. I love this album so much; it will always have a special place in my heart.
1. Beginning To See – 1:13
This was the first video I made for the album. At the time I didn’t know I was making an album but it really fit in. I titled it beginning to see because that moment when you begin to see you have so much power, your intuition is so strong, your heart is so pure and that you are the Universe is magical. It is the beginning to seeing yourself for who your soul really is and to seeing the world for what it is. I knew it had to be the intro video because without this feeling the rest of the videos won’t touch you as deeply. 2. Harness My Power – 1:27
This video ties right in to Beginning To See. I jumped with the idea of realizing your inner power and strength. I think the world would be in a much different place if we could all realize our power, potential and strength because then we’d form our own opinions and choose what we wanted to believe, not what the media wants us to believe. I love the analogy here of being like a crystal. Crystals right now are so important for us and bring us such high vibrations so I wanted to tie that in. And just like we harness their power we can harness ours. Also, I love the music here; thought it’d be fun to change up the tune into something that fits more with the confidence vibe. 3. Creating Magic – 1:21
This video flows perfectly from Harness My Power. Because once you harness your power then you can create magic. I love the chill vibe of the music even though the messages in the video are so important and utter truth. I had some fun with backgrounds here because magic is completely what we imagine in our minds. Everyone’s interpretation of magic is different; obviously mine has a lot of colors. But going deeper, when I say magic I interpret it as when your life is in utter harmony and balance. When everything flows so easily and you live life like a fearless surfer; the waves keep coming but you keep riding the waves effortlessly. 4. Infinite Choice – 1:52
Infinite Choice was originally going to be a video about change but as I was editing it, it became more and more about choice so I ran with the choice theme. This video is one of my favorites for the music is on point. I watched this video like a hundred times so I could get the melody to be right on track with the words and it just fits so nicely. Another reason I love this video is because it talks about making mistakes and messing up and that it is ok. It really is ok, you have to trust everything is meant to be and those mistakes will help you grow. Our freedom of choice is slowly being taken away from us and I want this video to remind people that choice is yours to make. Harness your power and make your choice that feels true to your soul. That’s the key to life; I know I say that a lot but really that is all it is. 5. Living Lyrics – 2:24
I had most of these lyrics just sitting in a file; it wasn’t a video yet. If you know me, you know lyrics and music are some of the things I love the most. Music is such a comfort to me and watching the Universe show me signs through lyrics is one of my favorite feelings. Something about music just connects with my soul. And I’m not talking about mainstream music, I am talking about specific, thoughtful, real as can be, raw, honest, empowering and comforting music that touches one’s soul. So, I knew this album had to include my favorite lyrics. I can’t pick a favorite here, they all have a special place in my heart. 6. Becoming Energy – 1:26
Becoming Energy has such a valuable message. I realized one night that I was forgetting to include the power of energy and how much it creates our reality so I started writing some quotes down in my journal and that night in 20 minutes I wrote the whole video. In the morning I had fun with designs and backgrounds because vibrations and frequencies have a wide range of imagination. I feel this came together so well. My book analogy in here is one of my favorite analogies of the whole album. Being a writer, it is very real to me and super relatable; I actually use that analogy in my everyday life reminding myself to stay high vibrationally. Always remember everything around you is energy, energy is how the Universe communicates so use your voice with purpose and always raise. 7. Movie Making – 1:35
I’ve always loved the analogy of your life is the movie and you are the director. When I sat down to make this video, I had no idea what I was going to do. And then I saw a background of a movie theatre and I knew that would be the theme for the video. I think sometimes we all forget that we are in charge of our destiny and we can create it to be whatever we want. I want this video to be a reminder of that. I put it in the IMAGINE section because it is more about creating the movie than watching it. Also, since we are almost at the end of the IMAGINE section the videos are starting to become a little more REALITy – like naturally, which I think is super cool because it shows the Universe is taking care of this album. 8. Fearless + Free – 1:37
The last video of IMAGINE!! I knew this one had to be about freedom because it is the last thing you need before you go on creating your dream reality. Freedom is the key to everything. You can unlock so much of your power, you can make huge strides and you’ll feel so good. And the title of this video worked out perfectly because my website is fearlessfreesoul. My website is something I imagined for a while and now it being reality is honestly a dream come true. So, the tie in here for the last IMAGINE video seems perfectly meant to be. You can’t be free without being fearless and once you’re fearless you’ll be free. And the song took me forever to find, as I was getting to the end of making videos for this album, I became way too picky on the music! I’m a perfectionist I can’t help it, but the song title is This Story and I feel it completes this story of IMAGINE very well. It just seemed meant to be. 9. The Bridge In Between – 2:05
My lead single and such a valuable part of this album. I’ll be honest, I was putting this one off for a bit because it seemed a little daunting. When I make videos, I like to just let it flow and see what I come up with but for this one I knew I needed to make this in between IMAGINE and REALITY so figuring how to do that was challenging. In the end it was oh so worth it, I love this video. I see it as a journey of you and the Universe getting to know each other and working with each other. I feel it ties everything together. We all know that moment when you feel you’re doing everything right and you’re trying to manifest but something isn’t working. That is when the Universe comes in and reminds you to be fearless. This video captures that. I love the song too; I’d been wanting to use that song for a while and it just wasn’t fitting but when I played it with this video it was a perfect match. 10. Depth – 1:11
The first video of REALITY!! Similar to Living Lyrics these images were just sitting in a file waiting for music. I love these images and the black and white theme, so I thought why not make it a video. I titled it Depth because I feel it encapsulates the depth of your soul. Our depth makes us unique and sometimes we need a reminder to dive into our depth. I thought it was the perfect introduction to REALITY for it’s a little dark, very honest and it celebrates our uniqueness for without that we’d all be living the same reality. Each of our imagination’s are unique which makes all our realities different. And I love this song; it fits in so well with the vibe of this video and the message I’m trying to get across; be unique. 11. Illusions – 1:13
This was the second video I made for the album and like Beginning To See I didn’t know I was making an album yet. I was in the shower and all the sudden I had this idea to make a video about time. I don’t know why but when you’re in the creative zone things just come to you and ideas flow through you so easily. I made this video in literally 45 minutes, I just knew what I wanted it to say. One of my favorite slides of the whole album is the reality cage. I think of time as very 3 dimensional living and honestly I don’t pay nearly as much attention to it as I used to. I feel like there are a lot of preset beliefs when it comes to time so I wanted this video to break those beliefs and help you form new ones. And the song ties all of this together. Sometimes I pick the song purely for the title and in this video that was the case. The song is called Mysteries and boy what a mystery time is. 12. Dreaming Harmony – 1:16
You know, a year ago I wouldn’t have known what harmony felt like, what balance felt like. But now I know it is one of the best feelings in the world; as if nothing can stop you because your life is so complete. Another one of my favorite slides of this whole album is the one in here that says, “Reality has the word Real in it because it is real to you but a dream to your mind.” I remember so vividly when I realized real was in the word reality and it just came to me all the sudden why. Real is what you make real, nothing has to be real, you choose it. I feel like when people hear the word reality, they think very limiting like it is just the way it is and can’t do anything about it. When in actual reality, the possibilities are endless and harmony is very achievable. My intention with this video is to change people’s perception of what reality is and can be, after all reality is what you imagine it to be. 13. Life I’m Living – 1:35
This video is pretty different from the rest. I wrote this video in my journal late at night when I couldn’t fall asleep. This thought came into my head, “What life am I living? Is the one during the day a dream? Or is the one at night my life?” So, I ran away with that thought and this video was born. This video is more like a long poem. Poetry is just a part of who I am so it had to be in this album and this video is where you can see the poet inside me shine. I kept the font the same for the whole video because I wanted it to seem almost handwritten because it is a poem. This video is very thought provoking and it came together so fast for me when I was creating it. I had a vision or a dream and it became reality in an hour. Things flow when you go with your gut. 14. This Journey – 1:31
This video’s theme is that everything happens for a reason and to love yourself through all the ups and downs. I have a lot of analogies in this album but this one about painting your picture is very vivid and easy to imagine. I think if you think of it like, each situation in your life is a brushstroke and a color on a palette it makes things clear. Sometimes that painting will be beautiful and other times you might lose the vision but that is ok for you are painting your whole life. I titled it This Journey because I think it captures what this life is about and how everything connects. And the song, I saw the title of it literally 2 minutes after I finished the video and I knew that was the one. It is called Multidimensional and that is who we are; electromagnetic and multidimensional beings on this amazing journey we call life. 15. Leap – 1:50
This is my favorite video in the album. For some reason I love to write and create stuff about connection, I mean I could literally make a whole album just about connection. You’ll notice this video has more words and less focus on the backgrounds; it’s just because I have a lot of thoughts about connection! And I want to make clear, I use the word relationship because it is vague and can include any type of connection. I do not use it to mean romance, but if that is how it applies to you that’s cool. A relationship can be any type of bond; I don’t know why when you say relationship people immediately go to romance. Anyways, what is funny about this video is I really wasn’t in the mood to make a video. I’d already made one and I thought I needed a break but my fingers pressed some keys and all the sudden I had a near 2 minute video made. I knew I wanted a video about connection in the REALITY section and this surpassed my expectation for the video, and I have very high expectations! And the song, oh my gosh what a perfect fit. I’d been wanting to use that song for a while and I knew as I was making this video that I’d use it. The title, “Need A Friend” is so applicable for this video and I really wanted the music to get faster/louder at the Jump slide and it fit perfectly. I titled this Leap because in a relationship you have to make lots of leaps and you have to trust in the Universe. You’ll leap when you’re ready. This video captures the moments before you leap and the exact moment you decide to go for it. 16. Galaxy, Quest, Dream, Vision – 1:50
This is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made because it’s little more personal. I make videos mainly to inspire others, to encourage growth and to help you on your journey because that is my passion and my mission. This video’s purpose is of course to do just that, but it is also a little more for me and my future. Since this album is my imagination becoming reality, I thought I’d call into existence some things I want and show you how to do that in this video, after all that is what this album is all about. You’ll notice there is a pattern in this video and I’ve never done that before. The theme for the slides goes vision, dream, quest, galaxy repeated 4 times for a specific reason. Life is really about these 4 things. You are a special part of this Galaxy, life is a Quest so enjoy it, always Dream for dreams become reality and connect you to the Universe and Vision shapes the reality you live in and the world you create. The title of this song, Grow, fits in so well. I found this song fairly quickly and I knew once I read the title that it would be the one. When titles of songs match so effortlessly to the video it is like the Universe is telling me I am on the right track and I’m fulfilling my mission; it’s like a hug from the Universe. And I run with it. 17. Amaze – 1:27
The last video of REALITY and the last video of my first album, making this was bittersweet. I decided I was going to make an album September 24th. I had 2 videos done. And I finished this album and made this very last video on October 1st. So, it took me one week, 7 days, to make 15 videos, describe each one in writing and to bring this whole vision together. It just goes to show you that when you imagine something so vividly it can easily be reality as soon as you put your mind to it. And that when you’re in the creative zone things flow so freely that it almost pours out of you effortlessly. I knew the theme of this video would be happy endings because I feel the world needs to see more of those. And I don’t mean by the way you die but you can imagine that too, I mean in the hardest of times, in the longest moments and when tough gets tougher imagine the happy ending. Don’t let your mind tell you how bad it could be, imagine all the good things. There is so much love in this world and all you have to do is change your perception to see it. I titled it Amaze because this album, I think, encourages you to amaze yourself and to amaze the world. So, I wanted to tie in IMAGINE + REALITY at the end here by titling this video with the purpose of this album. I titled this album IMAGINE + REALITY because it always amazes me how much our thoughts create our reality -hence another reason Amaze is the title. And you’ll notice the images here are very much about paradise and nature scenes because I really think it is important to visualize beauty because we’re not really shown it. I think this was a very happy ending to this album. And that is IMAGINE + REALITY. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I poured my heart, soul, mind, and intuition into this album. It was hard work but it was so fun to make. I love making videos; I’ve always wanted to make an album and to make that dream a reality and do it my own way is so cool to me. Thank you to the Universe for letting this come together so beautifully and effortlessly. Thank you to my higher self for making these videos so magical and for creating my vision. Thank you to my family and friends for helping me grow into the person I am today to make this album a reality. Thank you to you for watching this! Thank you IMAGINE + REALITY for being my debut album, my first love and my reality. I certainly imagined you for a while. 🙂 Be fearless and free – Ace
Above is the link to the Q&A I did about this album, it takes you behind the scenes of the album making process and it shares some of my inside thoughts. Thank you for watching the videos and reading this article, I hope they raise the vibration of your spirit and help you on your journey! And comment with your thoughts on the album, I’d LOVE to hear!!

My new single, Charge is out now!!! Check it out!!
Today, in the US and even around the world, it’s a really big day. It’s election day and anything really can happen. There are a lot of energies in the world right now and a lot of division. I made this video as something to watch to charge your energy, an energy charge. It’s short, to the point and super upbeat. It’s really important today and in these next couple of days to raise your frequency, to protect your energy and to be kind to yourself. Self love is always important but it is especially important now. Thank you for watching! I hope this helps you on your journey! Be fearless and free -Ace -
As promised, the Q&A is here. I love when artists do this so you can get a taste behind the scenes of the albums you love, so I knew I needed to do one too! This album has so much meaning to it and each video has its own story to it so I am excited to share with you. And if you haven’t watched my video album IMAGINE + REALITY go watch it now!
How did you get the idea to do an album?
Well, I was making lots of videos and for some reason I wasn’t posting them. I’d made several food videos (you can now find them on my website in the Videos page) and 2 inspirational ones and they were just sitting in a file on my computer. And then Heaven & Hell (Ava Max’s debut album) came out; I’d been so excited for it. It’s one of my favorite albums. But I think that gave me the idea to do an album. I’ve always loved music and had a dream of making an album, not music but something, I just didn’t know what. I had an ah-ha moment and it just all came together so quickly.
How did the album title come to you?
Titles are so important to me. I know I won’t listen to a song unless it has a good title, same thing goes for reading an article or something. You have to engage the viewer and that one line, the title, can either bring someone to watch the videos or not. So it was a big decision but I’ve always been amazed at how much our thoughts and imagination creates our reality. Literally everything you think and believe will come to be in your reality. It just kind of came to me. I was inspired by Heaven & Hell and the way the album is split up (7 heaven songs, 1 in between, 7 hell songs) so I knew I was going to put my own completely new spin on it. I told myself to pick 2 things you can make a video about in between them. And IMAGINE + REALITY was born. I was going back and forth between IMAGINATION and IMAGINE. But imagination was too long and I wanted it to be in present tense. I also love those words in general, they have such meaning to them and everyone interprets it differently. I think it gives the viewer a lot to think about which hopefully makes them want to watch the album!
How long did it take you to make this album?
1 week, 7 days. I had two videos done before I decided to make the album but I made 15 videos in 7 days. That is crazy to me! I did not think I could do that but the creative zone is addicting and when you’re in it ideas flow so freely and you just feel in the mood to create ALL the time. Every morning I’d sit and make a video, maybe two. If I was too busy I’d come back and make another one after dinner. Video making is so fun to me, I’d always wanted to do it. And now that I can whip them out in an hour and have such joy in doing so is so full circle to me. I think also when I’m making them it isn’t like I am making them. My soul, higher self and the Universe are making these which is me; we’re all the Universe. But I mean I don’t feel like I’m making them, something is coming through me. It is like channeling. It’s hard to explain; it’s like my mind shuts off and I’m not thinking at all. Writing does that for me too which is why I love it so much. It’s fun when I feel like I’m done making the video and I go to watch it because I don’t remember the past slides. It’s like I’m watching it for the first time even though I’ve wrote and designed every single slide. There’s a certain feeling I get when I make these videos, I don’t know how to describe it but whatever it is, I love that feeling so so much. I’m addicted.
Why 17 videos?
17 is such a big number this year. It is such a powerful number. Numbers have more meaning to me this year than ever. I also knew I needed an odd number so there’d be an equal amount of songs in IMAGINE and REALITY and 1 left over for in-between. Since my release date was already on a date with number 15, 17 just seemed right. And it gave me 8 songs for each section which 8 flipped is infinity so it seemed perfect. It seemed meant to be.
IMAGINE or REALITY?
That’s unfair! 😝 I love all these videos so much but if I have to choose I’ll pick REALITY.
What was the hardest video to make?
Probably The Bridge In Between. I’d been putting it off because when I make videos I like to not have a plan and just see what comes through. But this one I knew needed to be in-between IMAGINE and REALITY which was tricky and I knew it needed to be longer since it is my lead single for the album. One day I sat down and just banged it out, it came together a lot better than I thought it would. It’s the journey of becoming fearless to imagine your dream reality. I know that journey very well.
What was the easiest video to make?
I don’t really like the word easy but the one that came together the quickest was either Illusions or Leap. Illusions I had a thought in the shower to make a video about time. It took me 40 minutes to make, probably less. And Leap I knew was going to be about relationships and for some reason I love writing about connection. I think it came together so fast because I love the people in my life and just thinking of them and how they came into my life, how we’ve grown together and how the Universe has made those relationships come to life is just like putting my feelings in words. It doesn’t take time, it takes heart. I just knew what to say. Connection is one of the most important things to me so I think that’s why creating stuff about it is so effortless.
What were the first and last videos you made for the album?
The first and last one on the track! I made Beginning To See before I knew I was going to make an album and it just fit perfectly for the #1 spot. When I was finishing making this album IMAGINE was done and I had two left in REALITY. So Amaze was the last one. It was bittersweet making that one but I was ready to have the complete and finished product.
Talk about Life I’m Living, it’s different from the rest. What inspired this video?
It was just a thought I had when I couldn’t fall asleep. I was like, “What life am I living, the one during the day or is that just a dream because I’m living the one at night?” I was having super vivid and consistent dreams at the time too, almost to where I felt like I actually lived it. That’s what sparked the thought I think. Since it was late, I just wrote this long poem in my journal and that poem is the words in the video. It’s a little darker and very different. I knew I wanted poetry in the album because poetry is just a part of who I am. I kept the font the same because I wanted it to look almost handwritten since I did handwrite it first. I normally don’t do that, this video and Becoming Energy were the only videos I wrote down first and then added the backgrounds and music. Usually I do it all at once but I needed to break up the creative process. I also feel like this video is super relatable and very honest.
Fearless + Free is that a tribute to your website?
I guess a little bit. The video itself is not about my website but purely about being fearless enough to be free. My journey to being fearless was long and taught me so much. And freedom came to me soon after I became fearless. I named my website fearlessfreesoul because that is who I am now, who I strived to be for a long time, who I will be forever and who I hope I can inspire people to be. The title of this video is a tribute to the website because I imagined having my own website for so long and for it to be reality now is a dream come true. So I knew I wanted to share that experience of imagining and then it being reality. That is what this album represents.
Harness My Power was your first video with a hip hop song, why?
I feel like when you think of harnessing your power you don’t think of a bright and cheery song. You think about confidence and the hip hop beat brings that vibe. Mainstream rap and hip hop is horrible now, it just sounds so bad. But the natural beat of hip hop is a part of music and something we all know. Just take away the trashy lyrics and inappropriate singing and the beat is good; it just gets covered up. And this video is all about confidence and finding your inner strength so it seemed right. I love the way it came out, at the time it was definitely something different for me but I’m glad I stuck with it.
You have a lot of analogies in this album, what is your favorite?
That’s tough. I’d have to say Movie Making. I think of that one a lot in my everyday life which I think is why I was able to make a whole video about it. The other analogies are a few slides in a video but this analogy is the theme of the whole video. I think we forget that we are the director of our movie and to follow our dreams and our hearts. Life is pretty simple if you think of it as making a movie. And don’t forget your co-producer, the Universe. The Universe is always there to help you and is always supporting you.
How do you title each video?
Well like I said earlier the titles are very important to me. It depends. I make the video first, put the music, download it and then title it once I’ve watched it a few times. Sometimes there is a certain slide that stands out and that’ll have the title in it; like in Harness My Power. Other times I title it with the message I hope people will get from it; like in Dreaming Harmony. Most of the time it just comes to me as I’m watching the video. I also like to title them sometimes with vague words, like in Depth. You can interpret depth in so many ways, so I wanted people to watch it because of that and also to show what depth specifically means to me.
How do you pick the music for each video?
As I’m making the video, the vision for the final product starts to come to me. When I’m done creating the slides, I know the energy or vibe the song needs to be. I decide either hip hop, chill or an up and down song meaning, starts slow gets fast or reverse. Sometimes as I’m listening to music for the video I’ll change my mind. It’s like a feeling thing, something inside of me just knows what is it. I can listen to 2 seconds of a song and know it’s not the right vibe for the video. On Fearless + Free I spent probably 45 minutes picking out a song. The video itself was quick to make but the song took a while to find. But on a video like Leap I knew that would be the song because I’d waited a while to use it; it’s a great song but it didn’t match other videos. Other videos if the title matches with the theme of the video then I pick it just for that reason, like in This Journey the title of the song is Multidimensional and it completes the theme of the video; everything happens for a reason because we’re more than just humans. For me, I think the music makes the words stand out so I’m very picky. I know the vibe I want and nothing will stop me from getting it. 😁
Galaxy, Quest, Dream, Vision, like Life I’m Living is different as well but for different reasons. Talk about that.
This video is very personal to me. It’s somethings I want in my future so I’m calling it into existence now. I’m basically sharing how you imagine what you want in reality, since that is what this album is all about, but in a very personal way. This video is close to my heart. It is different because there is a pattern which I’ve never ever done before. Slide by slide I start with Vision as the theme, then Dream, then Quest, then Galaxy and it repeats itself 4 times. These four things are really all there is to life. We are a special part of this Galaxy, on a Quest called life, we must Dream for they become reality and Vision, the way you look at things shapes your entire world. I love the song in this video too, it is called Grow so it fits in nicely. There is also 17 slides in this video and since it is at the end of the album it seems meant to be. There are a lot more words in this video because I have a lot of thoughts on each of these topics and because I’m calling things into my future.
What is your favorite video in the whole album?
Leap. The music is so perfect and connection means so much to me. That video is so complete.
How did you feel when you finished the album?
Full. Or complete. I felt so at peace and very proud of the work I’d done. It was a little sad to be done with it but it came together so well and after I made Amaze it just felt complete. Like I’d put the last piece in the puzzle and I was now looking at a masterpiece. It was hard though because I finished a lot earlier than I thought I would and I had to wait to post it for 2 weeks. I like to get things out when they’re fresh but I wanted the artist experience of holding on to your work for a long time until it is time to release.
Any future albums?
I think so. This was super fun to create and I love love how it all came together. It was also a lot of work and I think I’m going to let it sink in fully and enjoy this album for a little bit before I focus on doing something new. Although I am thinking about doing an EP in December; maybe. And maybe collaborating on some videos too, I think that’d be fun. If the people want videos, I’ll make videos. 😁

Comment with any questions you have about IMAGINE + REALITY
-
It’s finally here!!! This album is totally me. I always marvel about how powerful our minds are and that we create our entire reality. When I look back in my past, I can see things that I thought were so real but really, I created it all. Life is much more freeing when you realize you are in utter control of the reality you live in. I hope this album brings people that freedom and inspires them to imagine and dream big for it will become reality; I promise you. I was inspired by Ava Max’s new album Heaven & Hell where she did 7 heaven songs, 7 hell songs and 1 in between. I, of course, made it completely my own. 17 is such a powerful number, this year especially, so I knew 17 was the number of videos I was going to make. And to have 8 imagine and 8 reality seemed right because 8 flipped is infinity and I want this album to bring you infinite inspiration, freedom, imagination and fearlessness. So, the first 8 videos are IMAGINE, the 9th video is IN BETWEEN and the last 8 videos are REALITY. In the coming days I’ll take you behind the scenes and do a Q&A so I can explain the full journey of IMAGINE + REALITY. But right now, enjoy these amazing videos! I encourage you to go in order because these all flow so nicely into each other. Or watch what stands out for you personally because the Universe will show you what you need to see. I love this album so much; it will always have a special place in my heart.
1. Beginning To See – 1:13
This was the first video I made for the album. At the time I didn’t know I was making an album but it really fit in. I titled it beginning to see because that moment when you begin to see you have so much power, your intuition is so strong, your heart is so pure and that you are the Universe is magical. It is the beginning to seeing yourself for who your soul really is and to seeing the world for what it is. I knew it had to be the intro video because without this feeling the rest of the videos won’t touch you as deeply. 2. Harness My Power – 1:27
This video ties right in to Beginning To See. I jumped with the idea of realizing your inner power and strength. I think the world would be in a much different place if we could all realize our power, potential and strength because then we’d form our own opinions and choose what we wanted to believe, not what the media wants us to believe. I love the analogy here of being like a crystal. Crystals right now are so important for us and bring us such high vibrations so I wanted to tie that in. And just like we harness their power we can harness ours. Also, I love the music here; thought it’d be fun to change up the tune into something that fits more with the confidence vibe. 3. Creating Magic – 1:21
This video flows perfectly from Harness My Power. Because once you harness your power then you can create magic. I love the chill vibe of the music even though the messages in the video are so important and utter truth. I had some fun with backgrounds here because magic is completely what we imagine in our minds. Everyone’s interpretation of magic is different; obviously mine has a lot of colors. But going deeper, when I say magic I interpret it as when your life is in utter harmony and balance. When everything flows so easily and you live life like a fearless surfer; the waves keep coming but you keep riding the waves effortlessly. 4. Infinite Choice – 1:52
Infinite Choice was originally going to be a video about change but as I was editing it, it became more and more about choice so I ran with the choice theme. This video is one of my favorites for the music is on point. I watched this video like a hundred times so I could get the melody to be right on track with the words and it just fits so nicely. Another reason I love this video is because it talks about making mistakes and messing up and that it is ok. It really is ok, you have to trust everything is meant to be and those mistakes will help you grow. Our freedom of choice is slowly being taken away from us and I want this video to remind people that choice is yours to make. Harness your power and make your choice that feels true to your soul. That’s the key to life; I know I say that a lot but really that is all it is. 5. Living Lyrics – 2:24
I had most of these lyrics just sitting in a file; it wasn’t a video yet. If you know me, you know lyrics and music are some of the things I love the most. Music is such a comfort to me and watching the Universe show me signs through lyrics is one of my favorite feelings. Something about music just connects with my soul. And I’m not talking about mainstream music, I am talking about specific, thoughtful, real as can be, raw, honest, empowering and comforting music that touches one’s soul. So, I knew this album had to include my favorite lyrics. I can’t pick a favorite here, they all have a special place in my heart. 6. Becoming Energy – 1:26
Becoming Energy has such a valuable message. I realized one night that I was forgetting to include the power of energy and how much it creates our reality so I started writing some quotes down in my journal and that night in 20 minutes I wrote the whole video. In the morning I had fun with designs and backgrounds because vibrations and frequencies have a wide range of imagination. I feel this came together so well. My book analogy in here is one of my favorite analogies of the whole album. Being a writer, it is very real to me and super relatable; I actually use that analogy in my everyday life reminding myself to stay high vibrationally. Always remember everything around you is energy, energy is how the Universe communicates so use your voice with purpose and always raise. 7. Movie Making – 1:35
I’ve always loved the analogy of your life is the movie and you are the director. When I sat down to make this video, I had no idea what I was going to do. And then I saw a background of a movie theatre and I knew that would be the theme for the video. I think sometimes we all forget that we are in charge of our destiny and we can create it to be whatever we want. I want this video to be a reminder of that. I put it in the IMAGINE section because it is more about creating the movie than watching it. Also, since we are almost at the end of the IMAGINE section the videos are starting to become a little more REALITy – like naturally, which I think is super cool because it shows the Universe is taking care of this album. 8. Fearless + Free – 1:37
The last video of IMAGINE!! I knew this one had to be about freedom because it is the last thing you need before you go on creating your dream reality. Freedom is the key to everything. You can unlock so much of your power, you can make huge strides and you’ll feel so good. And the title of this video worked out perfectly because my website is fearlessfreesoul. My website is something I imagined for a while and now it being reality is honestly a dream come true. So, the tie in here for the last IMAGINE video seems perfectly meant to be. You can’t be free without being fearless and once you’re fearless you’ll be free. And the song took me forever to find, as I was getting to the end of making videos for this album, I became way too picky on the music! I’m a perfectionist I can’t help it, but the song title is This Story and I feel it completes this story of IMAGINE very well. It just seemed meant to be. 9. The Bridge In Between – 2:05
My lead single and such a valuable part of this album. I’ll be honest, I was putting this one off for a bit because it seemed a little daunting. When I make videos, I like to just let it flow and see what I come up with but for this one I knew I needed to make this in between IMAGINE and REALITY so figuring how to do that was challenging. In the end it was oh so worth it, I love this video. I see it as a journey of you and the Universe getting to know each other and working with each other. I feel it ties everything together. We all know that moment when you feel you’re doing everything right and you’re trying to manifest but something isn’t working. That is when the Universe comes in and reminds you to be fearless. This video captures that. I love the song too; I’d been wanting to use that song for a while and it just wasn’t fitting but when I played it with this video it was a perfect match. 10. Depth – 1:11
The first video of REALITY!! Similar to Living Lyrics these images were just sitting in a file waiting for music. I love these images and the black and white theme, so I thought why not make it a video. I titled it Depth because I feel it encapsulates the depth of your soul. Our depth makes us unique and sometimes we need a reminder to dive into our depth. I thought it was the perfect introduction to REALITY for it’s a little dark, very honest and it celebrates our uniqueness for without that we’d all be living the same reality. Each of our imagination’s are unique which makes all our realities different. And I love this song; it fits in so well with the vibe of this video and the message I’m trying to get across; be unique. 11. Illusions – 1:13
This was the second video I made for the album and like Beginning To See I didn’t know I was making an album yet. I was in the shower and all the sudden I had this idea to make a video about time. I don’t know why but when you’re in the creative zone things just come to you and ideas flow through you so easily. I made this video in literally 45 minutes, I just knew what I wanted it to say. One of my favorite slides of the whole album is the reality cage. I think of time as very 3 dimensional living and honestly I don’t pay nearly as much attention to it as I used to. I feel like there are a lot of preset beliefs when it comes to time so I wanted this video to break those beliefs and help you form new ones. And the song ties all of this together. Sometimes I pick the song purely for the title and in this video that was the case. The song is called Mysteries and boy what a mystery time is. 12. Dreaming Harmony – 1:16
You know, a year ago I wouldn’t have known what harmony felt like, what balance felt like. But now I know it is one of the best feelings in the world; as if nothing can stop you because your life is so complete. Another one of my favorite slides of this whole album is the one in here that says, “Reality has the word Real in it because it is real to you but a dream to your mind.” I remember so vividly when I realized real was in the word reality and it just came to me all the sudden why. Real is what you make real, nothing has to be real, you choose it. I feel like when people hear the word reality, they think very limiting like it is just the way it is and can’t do anything about it. When in actual reality, the possibilities are endless and harmony is very achievable. My intention with this video is to change people’s perception of what reality is and can be, after all reality is what you imagine it to be. 13. Life I’m Living – 1:35
This video is pretty different from the rest. I wrote this video in my journal late at night when I couldn’t fall asleep. This thought came into my head, “What life am I living? Is the one during the day a dream? Or is the one at night my life?” So, I ran away with that thought and this video was born. This video is more like a long poem. Poetry is just a part of who I am so it had to be in this album and this video is where you can see the poet inside me shine. I kept the font the same for the whole video because I wanted it to seem almost handwritten because it is a poem. This video is very thought provoking and it came together so fast for me when I was creating it. I had a vision or a dream and it became reality in an hour. Things flow when you go with your gut. 14. This Journey – 1:31
This video’s theme is that everything happens for a reason and to love yourself through all the ups and downs. I have a lot of analogies in this album but this one about painting your picture is very vivid and easy to imagine. I think if you think of it like, each situation in your life is a brushstroke and a color on a palette it makes things clear. Sometimes that painting will be beautiful and other times you might lose the vision but that is ok for you are painting your whole life. I titled it This Journey because I think it captures what this life is about and how everything connects. And the song, I saw the title of it literally 2 minutes after I finished the video and I knew that was the one. It is called Multidimensional and that is who we are; electromagnetic and multidimensional beings on this amazing journey we call life. 15. Leap – 1:50
This is my favorite video in the album. For some reason I love to write and create stuff about connection, I mean I could literally make a whole album just about connection. You’ll notice this video has more words and less focus on the backgrounds; it’s just because I have a lot of thoughts about connection! And I want to make clear, I use the word relationship because it is vague and can include any type of connection. I do not use it to mean romance, but if that is how it applies to you that’s cool. A relationship can be any type of bond; I don’t know why when you say relationship people immediately go to romance. Anyways, what is funny about this video is I really wasn’t in the mood to make a video. I’d already made one and I thought I needed a break but my fingers pressed some keys and all the sudden I had a near 2 minute video made. I knew I wanted a video about connection in the REALITY section and this surpassed my expectation for the video, and I have very high expectations! And the song, oh my gosh what a perfect fit. I’d been wanting to use that song for a while and I knew as I was making this video that I’d use it. The title, “Need A Friend” is so applicable for this video and I really wanted the music to get faster/louder at the Jump slide and it fit perfectly. I titled this Leap because in a relationship you have to make lots of leaps and you have to trust in the Universe. You’ll leap when you’re ready. This video captures the moments before you leap and the exact moment you decide to go for it. 16. Galaxy, Quest, Dream, Vision – 1:50
This is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made because it’s little more personal. I make videos mainly to inspire others, to encourage growth and to help you on your journey because that is my passion and my mission. This video’s purpose is of course to do just that, but it is also a little more for me and my future. Since this album is my imagination becoming reality, I thought I’d call into existence some things I want and show you how to do that in this video, after all that is what this album is all about. You’ll notice there is a pattern in this video and I’ve never done that before. The theme for the slides goes vision, dream, quest, galaxy repeated 4 times for a specific reason. Life is really about these 4 things. You are a special part of this Galaxy, life is a Quest so enjoy it, always Dream for dreams become reality and connect you to the Universe and Vision shapes the reality you live in and the world you create. The title of this song, Grow, fits in so well. I found this song fairly quickly and I knew once I read the title that it would be the one. When titles of songs match so effortlessly to the video it is like the Universe is telling me I am on the right track and I’m fulfilling my mission; it’s like a hug from the Universe. And I run with it. 17. Amaze – 1:27
The last video of REALITY and the last video of my first album, making this was bittersweet. I decided I was going to make an album September 24th. I had 2 videos done. And I finished this album and made this very last video on October 1st. So, it took me one week, 7 days, to make 15 videos, describe each one in writing and to bring this whole vision together. It just goes to show you that when you imagine something so vividly it can easily be reality as soon as you put your mind to it. And that when you’re in the creative zone things flow so freely that it almost pours out of you effortlessly. I knew the theme of this video would be happy endings because I feel the world needs to see more of those. And I don’t mean by the way you die but you can imagine that too, I mean in the hardest of times, in the longest moments and when tough gets tougher imagine the happy ending. Don’t let your mind tell you how bad it could be, imagine all the good things. There is so much love in this world and all you have to do is change your perception to see it. I titled it Amaze because this album, I think, encourages you to amaze yourself and to amaze the world. So, I wanted to tie in IMAGINE + REALITY at the end here by titling this video with the purpose of this album. I titled this album IMAGINE + REALITY because it always amazes me how much our thoughts create our reality -hence another reason Amaze is the title. And you’ll notice the images here are very much about paradise and nature scenes because I really think it is important to visualize beauty because we’re not really shown it. I think this was a very happy ending to this album. And that is IMAGINE + REALITY. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I poured my heart, soul, mind, and intuition into this album. It was hard work but it was so fun to make. I love making videos; I’ve always wanted to make an album and to make that dream a reality and do it my own way is so cool to me. On October 17th I’ll be posting an in depth Q&A about this album that will take you behind the scenes of the video making process. Thank you to the Universe for letting this come together so beautifully and effortlessly. Thank you to my higher self for making these videos so magical and for creating my vision. Thank you to my family and friends for helping me grow into the person I am today to make this album a reality. Thank you to you for watching this! Please comment with your thoughts, I’d love to hear them and it would mean so much to me. And comment with any questions you have about this album that you’d like answered in my Q&A. Thank you IMAGINE + REALITY for being my debut album, my first love and my reality. I certainly imagined you for a while. 🙂 Be fearless and free – Ace
