Missio: (miss-ee-o) - Latin for "mission." Inspired by the words "All are from the dust, and to the dust all return," Missio seeks purity in broken things through minimalistic songwriting.
The art of creating has become something that continues to show him that beauty and purity are found in all aspects of life. In times of emotional distress, he write songs. In times of invigorating happiness, he write songs. There has become an incredible comfort found in molding a blank canvas into a piece of art that he find to be extraordinarily beautiful.
Prior to Missio, he found himself writing songs in the name of fame, lured by the sweet distaste of vanity. He found very little enjoyment in this endeavor. Festivals and showcases were played and he would often dislike singing certain songs....but for the sake of success who cares, right? he had lost my desire to create and nothing meant anything to me any longer. He lost purpose and became blinded by the opinions of people he would never meet.
In August of 2013 he made the conscious decision to move into a 1974 airstream trailer, quieting my mind and focusing on my craft. He became inspired to create songs again, giving little thought to strangers opinions. Fifty two songs later he is ready to release a few of them. His desire in this endeavor is not an attempt to "grow my brand," He simply want to unite his family and friends into a lasting journey of sharing their gifts and love for the arts and its culture.
May you hear these songs and be inspired to find purity in the things that are broken.

MISSIO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Carve my name into the sea
Missio Dei, Missio Dei
Eyes are painted gold
Salty smiles and rusting soul
Missio Dei, Missio Dei
Missio Dei, Missio Dei
The lyrics of MISSIO's song Missio Dei are both mysterious and thought-provoking. The first line, "Fall into the deep" could refer to feeling overwhelmed or sinking into oneself, either emotionally or spiritually. The following line, "Carve my name into the sea" suggests a desire for some form of permanence, a way to leave a lasting impression on the world or an individual. The repetition of "Missio Dei" throughout the song is also intriguing, as it is a Latin phrase meaning "mission of God."
The second stanza, "Eyes are painted gold, Salty smiles and rusting soul" paints a complex picture of someone who may have external beauty but a decaying or corroded internal self. This line and the repetition of "Missio Dei" suggests a spiritual or religious context to the lyrics, possibly exploring the tension between physical beauty and inner turmoil. The enigmatic nature of the song leaves room for a wide range of interpretation, but it ultimately urges the listener to confront their own sense of purpose and the role they play in the world and a higher power's plans.

Where did you even find this? I’ve heard it on pandora before, but other than that, it just stopped existing.
@SpicyBitch
I wish I could tell you, but I honestly don't remember. I just knew that once you put something on the internet it's on there forever so I just kept digging. Eventually, it turned up.
