ECSTASY was made in the daylight. In the moments where the sun blinds and after-images flutter across. It was created out of the ripped pages of my notebook. In the moments before saying goodbye. 

ECSTASY is a culmination of my personal growth, pain, and joy. This project began shortly after Moonlight was released, and was always intended to complete a trilogy. This project moves away from instrumental led music and focuses on lyrics. In essence, I'm shifting attention to my voice. The cover features a very hungover version of myself a day after my 25th birthday celebration. On one hand, the process for this EP was mindless fun. On the other, it's my most mature effort to date. 

I went through a lot to get to where I am today. The plan was always to drop a trilogy of EPs. What I didn't know was that I'd be finishing my arch in better place than where I started. If ROJO felt like mania and moonlight felt like depression, ECSTASY feels like finally getting to enjoy life. 

ECSTASY was created in my bedroom studio, but finished in an incomplete setup due to leech-ass landlords kicking me out of my space. Songs like QUEMEAMA burned my computer alive. I also got robbed at gunpoint before release date. Had that situation turned out differently, this would have been my last release. Maybe that's a sign to keep going. I know I won't always live in ECSTASY. I won't always be in the happiest moment in my life. But I've been to the bottom, and I found my way back up. I can always do it again.

ROJO

DIOS MIO

Moonlight is an alignment of tracks that detail my journey into finding my voice. An evolution of ROJO, this project refines the sounds I heard in my head and translates them into music. There was no genre focused approach to this project. Instead, I wanted to tell a story, and I wanted to do it with whatever type of music felt best. This project leans on my love for hip-hop, the emotions of rock, the sentiments of R&B, and the grooves of Chicago House music. Endless thanks to musicians who created these genres I expressed myself with; this project would not exist without the genius of Black people. This project is blue, like the winters in the 606. I'm comfortable in red, even when I'm not. For this one, I wanted to let myself see a different color. There's still a hint of red, a part of me that stays with me at all times, but this project represents my multiplicity. This project contains my fears, my loneliness, my happiness, my bitterness, my hope, my truth, doubts and confusions and muses that all make up the person I am today. Some of these feelings are locked into this era and won't follow me into my next. For now, this is moonlight. My sun turned into a moon and I imaged it singing along with me when I was feeling blue.

This project was made at night.
