"Main Squeeze is a family no matter how far apart you are. At the Zoom listening party for our last EP, Set Sail, I burst into tears of JOY for 30 minutes straight because I was so proud of the hard work and dedication the group had put in the past year. I reflected on how every past and current Main Squeeze member has shaped me into the leader I am today. In that moment, through all the excitement, I remembered how lucky I am to have Squeeze forever <3"
