Formed out of the ashes of post modern suburbia I was forced to turn inward to seek solace. The general aura of an existential crisis bores right through the heart, so I escaped to my own sanctuary and created a space within myself that would be timeless. In the event of death my new existence would simply be born into the limitless expanse of true reality.
This remains true to this day, and as the earth turns I await the escape to such a beautiful existence, however for the time being I am growing and honing that space to be something viable. I am accessing the realm of the spirit and through my interpretations of my travels I bring to you the collective conglomeration of sound which is the most common medium of communication in those realms of existence.
Light and sound. Thats the essence of our existence. I try not to get to technical with my admiration of quantum mechanics, physics and metaphysics but I will say that overall, our senses as humans operate in a certain wavelength or frequency. Beyond this wavelength is infinity.
My purpose as an artist is to reach into the vast expanse beyond material existence, into the realms of imagination and produce something beyond a collage of sounds. Instead it is a soulful force That moves and heals as well as guides and provides meditation for the mind that is stuck in its own perpetual box.
Edgar Cayce predicted that music would be the medicine of the future. Well the future is certainly here and there is no shortage of new ideas or technology to prove otherwise. Music is available everywhere. It evolves us, we identify with it. It is the essence of life in motion. The flow. There will come a point when you can resist no more the forward progression that music will provide to humanity as a species.
It dissolves boundaries and clears the ego. This takes us to the crux of existence. Who we are. its simple to perpetuate our very existence through our bleak interpretations of what surrounds us but at our very core we are all unique individuals, however The Most Enlightened - identify with sound, because it illuminates the entirety of the senses.

Got me up right now
I can't really tell
If I'm stuck right now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I don't really know
What I want right now
I don't really know
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Know the sun comes up
In the morning
But I don't really know why
Yeah I don't really know why
Yeah
Yeah you left me cold
Left me frozen
And I don't even feel alive
I don't even feel alive
Yeah
Sometimes life can feel
So painful to me
Like hold on
I just can't hold on
Yeah
I can't escape
From the things
That I've seen
In my dreams
Like hold on
I just can't hold on
Yeah , yeah
I gotta tell you straight right now
If you really on the floor right now
If you really in love right now
I could use a little sign right now
Vibe right now
Speaking my mind out loud
Meet me outside downtown
Make the speaker go loud
Keeping your stereo loud
Feel the bass in your brain
Go wild
Feel the bass in your brain
Make you go wild baby
I don't really know
Where I'm goin lately
Long as I'm out here
Stuck with you
I feel sane can't change
All that I been through
Moon too bright
Got me up right now
I can't really tell
If I'm stuck right now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I don't really know
What I want right now
I don't really know
What I need right now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Know the sun comes up
In the morning
But I don't really know why
Yeah I don't really know why
Yeah
Yeah you left me cold
Left me frozen
And I don't even feel alive
I don't even feel alive
Yeah

The way she movin' got me talkin' slow
Her movements are so captivating that I am speaking in a slow pace
I'm talkin' bout my baby- my pretty little baby

She do it to me, take my heart and then my body goes
She has a mesmerizing effect on me, making my heart race and my body submit to her influence
It's so intoxicating. I've been incarcerated
It's a euphoric feeling that has trapped me in its spell
It's been so long since we've been where we are
It's been a while since we have been in this particular moment
Since these faces have shared these same stars
It's been a while since we gazed up at the same stars together
In the morning time
During the early hours of the day
Brown eyes turn my way
Her eyes are focused on me
It's like waking up to sunlight, the sunlight
It feels like being greeted by warmth and light of the sun
Rollin' over to her bright eyes, her bright eyes
I am turning towards her shining eyes as I wake up

Repeated for emphasis or to indicate a heightened emotional state
And I swear to God I just kissed a sunrise

When I am filled with love
Sunshine
