You know Dirtybird for dropping basslines and creating smiles on the dance floor since January 2005.

The fun family vibe of the Dirtybird label can be traced back to a free event started in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This new kind of house music went against the smooth vocal house that was popular at the time and derived its influences mostly from hip-hop, drum n bass, and American funk. The free outdoor BBQ party was very rough around the edges but eventually became legendary amongst the people of San Francisco. This event was also a very influential factor in the decision by Claude VonStroke to start the record label in 2005.

Today, Dirtybird has offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles and has expanded into events and tour production. As it grows, the brand continues to expand beyond music into merchandise, licensing and artist management. In 2015, Dirtybird launched the inaugural Dirtybird Campout festival, which has been dubbed “Summer Camp For Adults”, and Dirtybird has been recognized from their achievements by being awarded "Underground Label of the Year" at the International Dance Music Awards, “Label of the Decade” by Mixmag, “Best North American Label” by DJ Mag, and Billboard’s "Top 5 Independent Dance Labels".

I started making music when I was a kid, it was the only outlet I had to escape what I had to go through mentally and physically. I would get so high off of music, and it spawned a passion in me that was unrivaled by any substance. I've gone from the deepest depths of drug and alcohol addiction, to trying to quit the game of life on my own terms 3 times, to being homeless and hopeless. Music is the only thing I've always had. I've been clean from the hard shit for 12 years, but I occasionally face it in my music. I'm a 31 year old hippy, who wants nothing more than to spread love and remind people that you aren't alone. That pain you're feeling isn't forever and you don't have to face it alone. Positivity is the key to life, psychedelics and herb just keep the negativity away. Smile. I love you. Never hesitate to contact me if you're feeling down. I love meeting people! 

Alternative Music Artist:
I have been writing and creating music since I was 14 years old. From 2008 to 2018 I released 3 self-produced mixtapes to SoundCloud, but I took my career down the professional path in July of 2019, when I released my first professional EP, "The Rabbit Hole EP', to all major streaming sites worldwide! My music is based on real-world situations and emotions I deal with everyday, and I find comfort in releasing my emotions thru a microphone. I released my second studio album, titled "V82", worldwide on May 20th, 2021!

“MYTH CREATED” drops Summer, 2025!
