CREATING TUNES THAT MEAN SOMETHING.....IT'S ABOUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES!

IN MY OPINION, ONE I HOPE IS ONE DAY SHARED BY THE VAST MAJORITY (BUT I THINK THAT DAY WILL BE A LONG TIME COMING), IS THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF SO-CALLED CELEBRITIES SUCK!

IT'S A SAD SITUATION WHERE SO MANY LIVE THEIR LIVES THROUGH THE EYES OF CELEBRITIES, HANGING ON THEIR EVERY WORD, EVEN THOUGH MUCH OF WHAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS IS SUPERFICIAL CRAP!

IN THE MUSIC WORLD, THE SIGNED MUSICIAN  TENDS TO BE OF THE SHALLOW, SUPERFICIAL, VARIETY, CHURNING OUT PREDICTABLE GARBAGE, SUSTAINED BY MEDIA HYPE,  AND AN ABUNDANCE OF VILE ROCK STAR-STYLE POSTURING!

IT IS TO THE DETRIMENT OF ALL UNSIGNED MUSICIANS THAT DON'T FALL INTO THE WANNABE CATEGORY, THAT THE VAST MAJORITY ARE DUPED BY THE AURA OF FAME, SO INTOXICATED BY IMAGE AND HYPE, 

THAT THEY DON'T SEE THESE CELEBRITIES FOR THE CRETINS THEY REALLY ARE; THAT THE TUNES THEY CHURN OUT ARE DEVOID OF PERSONALITY AND CREATIVITY!

WORTHLESS, DISPOSABLE AND PREDICTABLE, SUCH TUNES SHOULD BE CONSIGNED TO THE DUSTBIN; INSTEAD, THEY BECOME AN EMBARRASSING PART OF MANKIND'S HISTORY!

FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL LOOK BACK ON THESE TIMES AS THE CREATIVE ERA THAT REACHED AN ALL TIME LOW, WHEN THE PUBLIC WAS SPOON FED ALL THINGS SUPERFICIAL, TACKY AND CRASS, AND LAPPED IT UP WILLINGLY!

BECAUSE CRASS IS KING, EXCEPTIONALLY GIFTED UNSIGNED ARTISTS WILL NEVER ESCAPE OBSCURITY! IN A JUST WORLD, IT WOULD BE SO-CALLED CELEBRITIES WHO ARE CONSIGNED TO OBLIVION, BUT THIS IS NOT A JUST WORLD!

SO-CALLED CELEBRITIES ARE THE MORTAL ENEMY OF UNSIGNED ARTISTS; IF YOU ARE A PARTY TO FEATHERING THEIR NESTS, FEEDING THE MYTH THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE KIND OF TALENT WORTHY OF SUCH PRAISE AND ADULATION, YOU ARE HAMMERING NAILS INTO YOUR OWN COFFIN!

Independently driven.

MN Moder (Zachary Moder) is far from your average 30 year old.  Having opened for legends in the hip-hop industry (Bone Thugs N Harmony, Tech N9ne, Twista to name a few), serving 4 years in the United States Army as a 19D Cavalry Scout (Combat Reconnaissance), working many odd jobs & formerly living a lifestyle of criminal activity, one thing’s for sure -  he’s no stranger to adversity, life’s challenges & the harsh blows that it can deal us from time to time.  Since going through his own series of trials and hard circumstances, he’s dedicated his life to his musical and personal aspirations, as well as helping others to do the same. Through overcoming those trials, tribulations, and challenging life obstacles, he’s learned an array of valuable life lessons and frames of mind to help survive and prevail every time.  He’s made it part of his purpose to share those messages with his listeners, which are cleverly laced throughout his rhyme schemes. His lyrics cover a wide array of knowledge and life experiences - a majority of it offering empowerment or insight, sourced from some of the darkest parts of his life.  This, paired with the ability to compose and deliver catchy hooks, makes him a versatile artist with an ability to capture the minds of listeners in a way that is easy on the ears and adds substance to the art itself.
Outside of music, Moder has been getting more involved with acting, modeling, and helping others through offering advice/insight that he’s labeled as “Modervation”.  His main message is that you can overcome any obstacle and be the person you were meant to be instead of who other people or society might want or try to make you to be.

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!
