Hey everyone, for those of you that don't know...
My brother-in-law, Lino, is currently battling brain cancer, and is currently recovering from his 4th brain surgery in 11 weeks. Watching my little sister Jessica go through this has been incredibly tough and heartbreaking. As an older brother, it's been hard feeling like there's only so much I can do. I wanted to find a way to help, so I created the Fight Like Lino merchandise fundraiser campaign. I told her I would share it everywhere.
Every purchase helps raise money to support Lino and my sister as they navigate treatments, medical expenses, and everything that comes with this journey.

*If you're not able to purchase anything, sharing the link with your friends and family would mean just as much. Thank you for the support*

I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to @RenMakesMusic , @chriswebby, and JPOnDaTrack for creating something truly special with Inpatient and their album Asylum.
I discovered Ren because of DeskPopDave Reacts. A viewer recommended I react to "Hi Ren," and I had no idea that one video would introduce me to one of the most talented and authentic artists I've ever heard.
As someone from Connecticut, I've been supporting Chris Webby for years. Watching his career grow has been incredible, and I'm grateful he's shown love to my reaction videos over the years. Getting the chance to meet him twice in person only reinforced what I already knew, he's as genuine as he is talented.
And then there's JPOnDaTrack. The production throughout this project is absolutely unreal. Every beat elevated the music and gave these songs the atmosphere they deserved.
Individually, all three are incredibly talented. Together? Their chemistry is on another level. They pushed each other creatively and delivered an album that feels cohesive, emotional, cinematic, and unforgettable.
One of the coolest parts of running DeskPopDave Reacts has been experiencing music like this alongside an incredible community. Watching these songs unfold, diving into the lyrics, and sharing those first reactions with all of you has been something I'll never forget.
Thank you Ren for sharing a short of one of my reactions to Inpatient on your Instagram!
Thank you, Ren, Chris Webby, and JPOnDaTrack, for reminding us what happens when incredible artists come together with a vision. Asylum isn’t just another album, it is an experience. 🕸️💊

Hey everyone!
I wanted to check in and let you know why reaction videos have been a little inconsistent lately.
The last few months have been incredibly difficult for my family and I. My Dad suffered a major stroke and is currently working hard through rehab, and four days later, my brother-in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer. Naturally, my focus has been on being there for my family during everything that's been going on.
For those who have asked how they can help, my sister Jessica has created a GoFundMe to help Lino and my sister navigate the road ahead. If you're able to contribute or even just share the fundraiser, it would mean the world to us.

I really appreciate everyone who's stuck around, continued watching, and checked in on me. Your support has meant more than you know.
The good news is... I'm planning to get back to consistent reaction uploads starting this week! I've missed discovering incredible music with all of you, and I'm excited to get back into the swing of things.
BUT I want to hear from YOU!
Drop an artist, band, or song you'd like to see me react to when I return! Whether it's rock, metal, hip-hop, K-pop, country, pop, beatbox or something I've never heard before, send your best recommendations.
I can't wait to be back. Thank you all again for your patience and support. See you in the next reaction! ❤️🤘
I'll be LIVE on Twitch tomorrow around 1PM ET doing reactions! Come Say Hi: www.twitch.tv/deskpopdave

Wow… 20,000 subscribers! I can’t even put into words how much that means to me. When I started DeskPopDave Reacts, it was all about sharing my love for music and discovering new music together. Over the years, you’ve flooded the comments with incredible song suggestions, artist recommendations, and genuine conversations that have kept this channel growing and evolving.
Every reaction, every laugh, every “you gotta check this out” moment has been fueled by all of you. This community has turned into something special, and I’m beyond grateful to be part of it.
Here’s to the next 20,000! More music, more memories, and more moments to be grateful for. Thank you for being on this journey with me.
