After a lot of frustration and some careful thinking, I’ve decided to move all of my video hosting over to Rumble permanently. This means no more uploading to YouTube or Vimeo for the foreseeable future.
Here’s why.
I recently ran into a hard upload limit on YouTube. I’m a Premium subscriber, but that didn’t matter. They locked me out of uploading more videos until I submitted a copy of my driver’s license — a step I’m just not willing to take. Between the throttling, censorship, and algorithmic suppression, it’s become clear YouTube is no longer interested in supporting independent creators like me unless we’re driving ad revenue for them.
Vimeo was my backup for a while, but even they impose upload limits unless you pay for a more expensive plan — and their reach is almost nonexistent unless you embed somewhere else.
Rumble doesn’t play these games. No throttling. No ID check. No hidden limits. They let me upload what I want, when I want, without interference. The platform doesn’t look as slick, but honestly, I’d rather have reliability and control than polish.
Moving forward, all of my video content — music performances, behind-the-scenes clips, teaching videos, and even full-length albums — will be hosted on Rumble. If you’re looking for a place to watch and share my videos, that’s where I’ll be.
To keep everything streamlined, I’ve also updated my main link hub. You can always find the latest content at

That link includes access to my Bandcamp, Substack, Rumble channel, social profiles, and more.
This shift isn’t just about convenience. It’s about independence. I’m done letting big platforms decide when and how my music gets seen. Thanks for sticking with me — and if you want to support the work, share the Rumble links, follow me there, and spread the word.
More soon.
