Basically, all of this started off as a high school project, and evolved into a full-fledged music project. The first EP and first two albums were put together during my freshman year, and are a really weird mish-mash of confused metal, trap, dubstep, and jazz. Much like freshman me. With my second EP, I learned how to focus on a singular concept, and made a few reggae-influenced songs. With my third album, I learned how to focus on a single style of music, and create longer, more drawn-out songs. With the 4th full-length, I managed to cut out almost all outside influences and make what I was inspired to make, which ended up somewhere between dubstep and industrial. Since I don't like two of my albums sounding a whole lot alike, my 5th album is largely trap and hip-hop influenced, with a little trance and house thrown in. Don't know what I'm gonna do next, but I will say this- don't take me too seriously. Yes, my newer stuff has a little more heart and meaning to it, but the first three albums were entirely campy, tongue-in-cheek stuff. I'm not gonna get successful doing this, and hardly anyone listens to it anyways, so fuck it. I'm-a do what I think sounds good, and if other people start to like it, awesome. Let me know what you think if you listen to it, whether you like it or hate it. What do you like or hate about it, do you have a favorite or least favorite album or song? Any advice? I can take criticism pretty well, and I have a sense of humor about trolls.

UPDATE: My next project will be a full-length, my 6th so far. Musically, it's meant to be a tad progressive- basically a Stuff/Village Idiot type sound, but more focused, and more ambient and vibey. Basically, each song will have something to meditate to. I would know: for this album, I'm not releasing any song or adding any song to it until I've meditated at least once to it.

  • Can you assess my last two tracks please?

  • Just sayin', all of the songs on the new album are about Trump.

  • I wasted time,

    I was so shy,

    You found me down.

    -

    You lift me up,

    Now I'm so high 

    I Bend the Sky

    When in love, the only way is upwards.

    If you have the time, please, give a try to my new song. :) Thank you!

    • Always man. I love supporting artists on here.

  • Anyone still follow this account? Been away for a while, might demo up some new shit. Giving a few other platforms a try too. I'm on Soundation now as "Deviate" and I'm also taking part in a metalcore band called On This Day.

  • Also, not that most of you care, but there's an EP of a couple remixes and an original coming out Friday. Maybe give THAT one a little listen?

  • Gee, thanks for checking out the new album. Thanks for telling me what you thought of it. Thanks for actually listening to it.... Yeah, sarcasm is my specialty. If you don't want to listen to it, fine. I've said it before- I make music for myself, if you just so happen so like it, then you like it. If you don't like it, listen to it. Because I'm willing to bet a lot of you haven't yet.

  • The next album is the first album I'm actually proud of. I'm actually listening to it and enjoying it, instead of publishing tracks for kicks and laughs. I mean, every album has its good songs, but many also have their bad songs. I don't think there's a single bad song on the new album, set to the the light of day this Friday. I don't know if it's my best, but it's definitely my favorite one yet. It's also my most aggressive, heaviest, most fucked-up album yet.

  • It Gets Dark is more than just the title of the song I just put out. It's also a warning about my next album- I plan on it being a dark, gritty version of what I've been doing. Also, expect less metal influences, more rhythm-based stuff.

  • I know every asshole says shit like this, but my honest opinion is that my next album is my best one yet. It's by far my favorite, and IMHO its the most flowing, the songs are catchier, but still weirder than ever before. Its more upbeat, fewer short, banger 3 minutes songs. Better sounding, more focused, more concise. I love it, and I hope you do too.

  • Remember: I make music for myself. If you happen to like it or enjoy it, I thank you for appreciating it. But the music I make is what I feel represents myself at a given time. It is not music for the masses, nor will I ever see a Top 10 single or album out of it.

  • Just realized than the upcoming album will result in my 50th published track. 50 songs, 3 albums, 2 EPs, and a compilation, all in under 1 year. Pretty happy with myself on this.

  • Might get started on Stuff next month. Might release Stuff in May...

  • Been thinking about Stuff...
