Can't Go Back

MUSIC THAT BLEEDS. SCARS THAT SPEAK.

Cryptic Wisdom is the hybrid alt-rap project of Arizona-bred artist David Gonzalez, blending raw intensity with rock melodies and hard-hitting hip-hop lyricism. No genre is off limits. This is music born from pain—battles with sobriety, childhood trauma, heartbreak, and hopelessness—transformed into something powerful.

Vulnerability and grit run through every verse, creating a sound that nods to multiple genres but exists entirely on its own. This isn’t just music. It’s survival with a soundtrack.

I’m more of a DJ who loves to be creative with music and loves to perform, and wants to share this creativity with others.  Lately, I’ve been experimenting with Groovepad. It’s an app that I use on my iPhone and the loops are made by other amazing artists and producers. All I’m doing is having a blast arranging and rearranging these amazing loops during a live recording and sharing these experiences with everyone. Good or bad, it’s a great time to celebrate life! 😁 I have an understanding of music fundamentals from being in band, jazz band, etc. and I have a real passion for the universal language of music.  It’s been a great app to use, I highly recommend.  I hope what I share, people will enjoy. One Love 😎
