In a day and age where we spend up to 23 days a year (~552 hours) of our time on our phones (including myself) we need to understand that we HAVE to take time to pay more attention to the things that matter: helping others [especially those that are in unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstances that can't help themselves whether it be to mental illness, addiction, or poverty], focusing on more family oriented lifestyles, and shying away from the bullshit that is social medial influence and overall media 'spin'. At the end of the day "Do you Boo-Boo". We're given one life and it wasn't created to serve as a bullied easel for someone else's infidelities and insecurities. Get out, get shit done, and get you figured out before letting someone else beat you to that punch. Much love!

Multitasker [Prod. Mr. Cook]

This track is dedicated to being and becoming a friend to and with strangers; especially ones who need a friend. By following that logic, we aren't strangers at all. Then pair that with coming together as a group for a common purpose and for a common end goal and you've figured out the equation for community.

A lot of good can come out of sharing a cup of coffee with someone.

Damper On My Day

Music is essentially just decorations for the inside of your brain - with that thinking genres do not exist, musical-based connections don't exist; and what we are left with is reduced, bare-boned auditory cranium art. 

Birdcops, All Who Wander, and The Dipping Skinnies are former projects where I was playing drums/percussion and sang background vocals on. Following projects are part of my hip-hop repertoire (Mostly with my main man Chandler Cook [Mr. Cook] check him out ASAP - he's a genius) I will be releasing an EP later this year so be on the lookout for that as well! When I'm not doing any of that I'm also a singer/songwriter of the rock n' roll variety and you should start seeing some of those pop up as well. 

While I can (before the world convinces me to stop; which it most certainly will not have the ability to do) I want to transcend genres, transcend racial stereotypes, transcend people's views on mental illness and addiction, and transcend my own mind and abilities in the process. I love what I do and hopefully I can help you guys through my stories in the form of music. 

Life is short, jam the fuck out
