Like A Butterfly

transfem producer of instrumental madness

I have been creating songs since I was 4 years old. Nothing speaks to me more than music. I was adopted as a baby, born in San Bernadino and raised in Maryland. My childhood was happy, my adolescent years were not. I attended Edgewood Middle/High school which is located in violent and gang infested neighborhood. Being the shortest white boy in school, of course the bullying was almost unbearable. I was always in trouble for either fighting or just ditching school. In fact, I got expelled from two high schools. After I graduated from my third school, I became homeless with a 40 y/o woman. We lived in cars, tents, hotels. I experimented with hard drugs. Mostly perks and crack. Then I began my journey with heroin. After overdosing a few times, I was forced to go to treatment. It helped a little. I was off the heroine and coke. But I was still drinking and partying a lot which resulted in my parents kicking me out again. I then walked all the way to the worst part of Edgewood...The Ville. I had some money saved from working and my plan was to buy as many drugs as possible and overdose. Surprisingly, after hearing me rap, they took me in. But about 4 months later, they jumped me, threatened me and told me to get the fuck out of the neighborhood. People were calling saying “don’t come back, you have a target on your head.”

A little while later, I found contact with my biological mother. I moved in with her in California for 4 months and then traveled to Odessa, TX to live with my biological brother. 
We got along great. I made some friends. 
But one day one of them stole from me behind my back. By this time, I was a full blown alcoholic. In drunken rage, I walked to his house and knocked on the door. When he answered, he pointed a gun to my head. Lucky for me, he didn’t pull the trigger. I charged him and put him on the ground. Then I pulled my knife out. I cut him and stabbed him and ran. I served 3 years for that and other crimes in MD. Durin FM incarceration, I became a different person. I stopped feeling nervous and frightened, to being locked in max security for violent fights I would start. But then I calmed. I started realizing things like how I took friends and family and so many little free world things for granted. I realized nothing is worth coming to this place. I also came to the conclusion that once I’m free again, I’m going to work full time and focus on nothing but making music. I wrote 50 songs in prison. Once released, I worked full time and saved for a laptop(that came with FL), an interface and a mic. That’s where I began my engineering career. It’s only gotten better from there and now I am in a great place with a gorgeous girl who I love so much, and I hope my music will touch people, relate to people and most importantly be heard.
I love you all.
