This Album has been five years in the making. I had no intention on making this, it just came together early fall 2021. The major conceptual tie is the recording of a phone interview I did with my Grandad Albert Baldwin in the summer of 2016. I was looking for a concept to tie these songs together and it fit nicely. The second half of the album called "The Freedom Suite" came together from start to finish fall 2021. I handled the production of all but two songs on the entire project. I Hope You enjoy!!

Hello.....

This was my first major endeavor into art and music production. As a visual artist, the album's cover is my visual interpretation of the music. It started as an idea I had for a short musical experiment. I planned on having four to five tracks that would flow into each other, back-to-back. However, my grandmother passed away in the process of making the album, which inspired me to examine life from a philosophical view, as well as a mechanical view. Genesis 1 tells the story of life from a philosophical view, Slight Epiphany (Interlude) chronicles the moment when the album's concept really solidified in my mind, as well as spells out the exact mechanics of the life process from a life and death perspective. Psalms 15 neatly combines those two ideas while bringing the album to conclusion. 
    The album was exclusively written, recored, and produced by myself (DeLMnT,) with the exception of "There for You" and "Keep the Faith," which I received some production help from my friends Jon Hayes of "Serita's Black Rose," and Pluto Monday. Along with drawing and painting the album cover, I also played most of the bass, lead, and acoustic guitar parts– as well as many of the various synths heard around the album. It took nearly two years to finish, with the majority of the work being done summer 2015. 
    I consider it a growing process, like most things in life. I'm excited about the quality I was able to achieve, but even more about the knowledge I accrued while making this piece. My song writing ability, rapping skills, and vocal range and control were constantly challenged throughout the process. It was as much a journey of persistence as creativity. I'm eager to take these lesson's I've learned and apply them to my next project. For now though, I hope for people to listen to it, and see the world through my eyes.

You know the guy at the circus riding the unicycle, juggling chainsaws, and breathing fire? Thats basically me. 

My strongest mode of expression is actually visual. I've been drawing and painting since I was a wee lad. Right now, I'm an Art Education major at Kendall College of Art & Design, specializing in figure drawing and illustration.

I started making music as a means of expression during a time of depression. Though doing well in school, financial difficulties prevented me from attending. Frustrated from the higher educational system, I lost passion for art temporarily. 
Around the same time I took a profound interest in the Notorious B.I.G. His lyrics provided me some escape from my situation. I admired rhythmic rhyme schemes and storytelling nature. These elements combined with countless others inspire my style of rap. 

Along with rap, I sing and play several instruments including guitar and harmonica. I like writing narratives and filming them.

 I am the guy on the Unicycle. I have tremendous vision; with the direction of God and the support of my fans, we will see the best parts come to pass
