Hey, I'm Eight Two (they/them)—a nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent genre fluid singer-songwriter and self-taught visual artist carving out my own space in the world of art rock. My journey began in the vibrant streets of Brooklyn in 2008, where I found solace and inspiration in the power of music.

As a multi-instrumentalist, my primary tools are the guitar and my voice, weaving together melodies that speak to the soul. From thought-provoking philosophical musings to uplifting motivational anthems, my songs are a reflection of my quest for creativity, connection, and meaning.

Despite navigating the world without social media or a phone, I'm here to share my sonic journey with you. Whether you're a fellow oddball, a seeker of truth, or simply someone looking for a bit of inspiration, there's a place for you in my musical universe.
