Off The Rails

You have no freakin' clue
What I've been through
How can you judge
How can you determine

What's best for me
What's best to do
What's best to have
What's best for you

Ignorance
You wear it best
Ignorance
You wear it best

Don't pretend you know me
Don't pretend you care for me
Don't pretend
You think you know me
But you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't

Ignorance
You wear it best
Ignorance
You wear it best

I am a stranger to you
How can you think that
I am a stranger to you
You're not a friend

Don't pretend you know me
Don't pretend you care for me

Ignorance
You wear it best
Ignorance
You wear it best

Ignorance Wears You Best

Misunderstood Identity

If your uncle looked like an old 1980s country singer, Santa Claus, and an almond farmer all rolled into one, singing 1980s synthpop vibes, that would be me. Every now and then I mix in a little reggae, country, or rock too. Stay tuned for updates.

Just call me Mike, aka MDRJR.

PS: Do not forget to give yourself a chance.

Hey, I’m Louis Katz, a musician inspired by the timeless sounds of 60s rock, the poetic depth of Bob Dylan, the raw authenticity of Tom Petty, and the vibrant energy of surf guitar. I’ve always been drawn to the kind of music that tells a story, sparks emotion, and invites the listener to experience something bigger than just a catchy tune.

Though I haven’t performed at any venues or had the chance to work in a studio yet, my passion for music runs deep. Every day, I strive to push my creativity further, and I’m excited to take the next steps in my musical journey. My goal is to collaborate with like-minded artists and musicians—kindred spirits who share a love for authentic, soul-driven music. Together, I believe we can elevate our sound to the highest level imaginable, creating tracks that not only resonate with audiences but leave a lasting impact.

I’m just getting started, and I’m looking for fellow creatives who want to be part of that journey. Whether it’s jamming on new ideas, writing songs, or eventually recording and performing, I’m ready to take things to the next level. Thanks for stopping by my SoundCloud, and I hope we can create something incredible together!
