2023. a snapshot.

2023 has been a big year of change and reflection for me.
Things still keep being thrown at us in this crazy world we live in, but I know that I am starting 2024 a stronger person for it. 2023 has been a year to recognise all of those amazing close friends and colleagues around me that just lift me and keep me sane. I have been bowled over with the generosity and jaw-dropping talent of those I have collaborated with in 2023, and can’t believe the opportunities this boy has been getting and continue to do. My music has reached further than ever before and that's all thanks to you, performed by friends old and new.
Thank You
Thank you to all my friends, family and followers who have supported, loved and inspired me. As a quick whistle-stop tour through the year, here I share some of the highlights and celebrate the supporters and collaborators who have shown their love in 2023...
Here’s to a successful 2024, filled with love, laughter and music-making!
Much love, Nx

Mae’r tair golygfa operatig hyn yn archwilio profiad un o ymgyrchwyr Cymdeithas yr Iaith o’r 1980au, wedi’i rhwygo oddi wrth ei theulu a’i charcharu am ei phrotest dros hybu ei mamiaith – y Gymraeg.
