Welcome to Gingergoodies

Hello, let's start from the beginning, shall we?

Hey, I'm Gingerbag

Introduction & Context

You might know me as @davopi.bsky.social on Bluesky or on most of my socials, maybe even @cups9.bsky.social if you follow my gaming content/streams. Well, I also go by another name, Gingerbag.

You might ask, "why Gingerbag?" and to that I say, I don't really know. A year ago, I was thinking of what my independent label would be if I wrote songs or if I was an artist. A few months later, I picked it as my pen name for all of my songs in the future, in order to not fully expose my full name.

I believe when I first came up with the idea for the name, my mum and I were discussing about the topic and what my name should be. I can't really remember much, but I remember that one of us picked the name "Gingerbag". Even if I don't know who came up with it at that time, I still chose this name to honour my mum who helped me get through life's largest obstacles.

I remember I was originally going to write an album/EP named "Mama's Karinderya" (Mum's Eatery/Carinderia) but I scrapped that later on. I wonder if I could still make that next year.

What can you expect from here?

In this publication, you can expect the following:

Small bits of analysis for the different songs I've written and released

Previews of unreleased songs

Statements regarding the background of specific songs

(Psst, if you're looking for something more fictional or personal, you might want to check my other publications.)

Why Leaflet?

I wanted to try to make a publication here on Leaflet for a few reasons.

I've already tested their features and moved multiple publications such as Plutoscape and Hotcuppa from a different platform.

Despite not knowing all the nuances of ATProto, I am an advocate for the open social movement, which helps power many apps such as Bluesky and obviously, Leaflet.

Leaflet is cool :)

How often will you post?

I may just post out of the blue when I feel like writing or giving some background as to some of the songs I've written so far. There's definitely a few favourites of mine, so I'll write about some of them on this publication. :)

Where can I listen to your music?

You can listen to my music on the following platforms.

YouTube + YouTube Music - music videos, visualisers, community posts

Spotify, Apple Music, and most mainstream music platforms

Soundcloud - demos, snippets, and other things that don't really fit on YT or YTM

I'm open to releasing music here on ATProto solutions for music distribution, but I haven't decided on which platform I will release the music on. If the opportunity comes by, I'll be sure to consider it!

I haven't fully taken the dip to distribute anything to something like Bandcamp, but when I have the time and energy to, I'll try to get something on there too.

That's it for me on this post. I'll see you guys again soon :P

Sincerely,

Davo (me)
