I’ve been playing guitar on an off since high school. I’ve recently felt compelled to start writing and recording music with my MacBook. I am still finding my sound. I want to blend Post-Punk type rhythms with Hip Hop beats. My lyrical subject matter revolves around impermanence/death, meditation and society. Most of the art for my music is done by my late sister. She was a very gifted artist and the inspiration for much of my music.
Music is the best form of entertainment. It brings people together and gives them an identity. Making my own music give me to satisfaction of completing something I like to listed to and hope others will also listed.
I just want to reach as many ears as a can. I don't feel the need to make money doing it. I have an arbitrary goal of 50k plays.
Erase poverty. The US is one of the richest countries in the world yet we don't care to do that for our citizens. It is sad.
The Cars greatest hits. I had this tape cassette that belonged to my dad and wore that thing out.
Too many to count. Elliott Smith, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Radiohead, HTRK, Arcade Fire, Gary Clark Jr., Nas, Joy Division ect ect
Being completely engaged with making a song from start to finish and then the satisfaction of completing it.
Impermanence. Every things comes to an end, so live in the present moment.
Nervous, but exhilarated
Musicians should make more money from streaming services like Spotify and YouTube.
I'm excited to have a place with like minded musicians sharing and commenting on each others work.
Trying to get people to listen to my music
