A little about me

Ever since I was young...

I would always find ways to make noise. My mom could tell you, everything about me had a metronome to it. I WAS LOUD.

I started taking piano lessons as a toddler in southern Georgia and slowly grew to love them, well, parts of them... I hated the music theory but loved playing the piano. After 6 years of scheduled lessons, I began to explore the possibilities of making my own music. I opened Garage Band on my brother's iMac for the first time and started what I would eventually come to learn as "producing". After some time passed, I concluded my piano lessons and picked up writing my own music.

These days...

I would always spend my free time listening to Monstercat© albums as I cut the grass for neighbors. It was one specific day that I finally came across a producer named Aero Chord that would inspire me to really begin my journey.

The road was very bumpy at first; finding the sounds I liked took longer than I had the patience for. But as time progressed, and a after short break in 2013, I picked it up again in the following year. I started writing lyrics and developing ideas. These years were spent learning. It wasn't until late 2016 that I released my first song "Timely Adventures." It was an exciting track that I thought would be a hit... But little did I know, I had a long way to go. I ended up pulling the release because I just wasn't satisfied with it. I also kind of found myself giving up... I stopped writing lyrics and I didn't open GarageBand for a while.

So, fast forward a few years...

I eventually upgraded my digital audio workspace (DAW) to Logic Pro X; this is when I really began to develop quality sound. By 2018, I had moved to Europe, fine-tuned my skills as a producer, and gained a collective following through Facebook, Instagram, and SoundCloud. I also released my first song to official music platforms titled "Intro." From here on out, it would only get better.

A few months after releasing that song, I took some time to reflect on my music. I kept making more, but I stopped releasing it to official platforms. It was primarily on SoundCloud that I would release my music and that's how it remained for a year and a half. As time progressed, I tried releasing more music, but I found myself unsatisfied with the released material, so I took everything down. Everything.

It was roughly around this same time...

I started running into other producers and started making connections. Through this, I learned that I had been doing it wrong the whole time, I had been trying to do it alone. After some self reflection, I decided to start a group in my local area that would focus on producers like me and building these relationships. Having people that you can talk to means EVERYTHING in this business.

Eventually, I met several producers on Instagram and started developing friendships. We would send each other tracks and give feedback. After a few weeks of this, my music started to improve and my confidence level jumped. I found joy in every aspect of producing and I even started writing lyrics again.

Then it happened.

Along the way, something inside me "woke up"... The state of the world became overly apparent to me and the result of this was that I wrote and produced my first debut single "Something Better".

After the song was released, the results shocked me. Now, it didn't hit a thousand plays, but the response was huge in comparison to what I'd ever seen with my music. That gave me a reason to keep going... That gave me hope to keep trying to change the world in my own lateral way.
