He found his passion for music when he was 12 years old when his cousin let him borrow their acoustic guitar, with which n,n. covered popular emo songs.
He went through school going to and from bands, most of them never getting anywhere. While attending college, he started focusing on his own music, and then the name “nothing,nowhere.” was born. The inspiration for his music comes from blending more of the “heavier hip-hop elements” with “organic instruments,” while the inspiration for his stage name came from philosopher Alan Watts.
Since the inception of nothing,nowhere., he has released four full-lengths—Trauma Factory from 2021, ruiner from 2018, Reaper from 2017, and the nothing,nowhere. lp from 2015—as well as three EPs; BLOODLUST from 2019, bummer from 2015 and Who Are You? from 2016. He has also released many singles, including the popular “Deadbeat Valentine” and “Twenty Something."
He has also released material such as the demo. EP in 2013 and never,forever. EP under the never,forever. name in 2016.
Though some people falsely think that nothing,nowhere. is more than one person, he has on several occasions announced that he is a solo act with touring musicians.

I'll be hanging on your nightstand by myself
As I sit in the dust while you lay with someone else
And I wish that you could feel how it felt
Knowing I am just an ornament on your shelf
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you got more that you're dealing with
I just wish that I could go back
Funny how everything changes
Old feelings, new faces
They say home is where you make it
Resided in you, now it's vacant
'Cause every single day, I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you sleep but you're with someone else
And every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the drawer but it won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
Now you gotta keep it all in like it's all good
But everything changed when you let me know it could
And you could take it back, I know you would
Won't throw me away when you know you should
Tell me what's real, is it all in my head?
Every night, every word that I said
They say move on but I'm better off dead
How can I sleep when I'm next to your bed?
How can you keep me confined in a frame?
Memories fading, the faces will change
But I still live in your head so I stay
Next to your bed, watch me wither away
'Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you sleep but you're with someone else
And every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the drawer but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
(Woah)
(Woah, woah)
In time
I'll be hanging on your nightstand by myself
And I gather dust alone on your shelf
'Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you're sleeping, you're with someone else
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the drawer but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that (I'm just that picture)
I just wish that I could go back (that you haven't thrown away)
Funny how everything changes
Old feelings new faces
They say home is where you make it (I'm just that picture)
Resided in you, now it's vacant (that you haven't thrown away)
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that (I'm just that picture)
I just wish that I could go back (that you haven't thrown away)
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
Honestly, you never needed this
Honestly, you never needed this
The song "Ornament" by nothingnowhere. is a heart-wrenching tale of unrequited love and the feeling of being just an object on someone's shelf. The song is filled with vivid imagery of being left behind after a relationship has ended, where the singer is hanging on the nightstand while the other person is with someone else. The repeating chorus about the colors fading and being just a picture that hasn't been thrown away emphasizes the feeling of being forgotten and unimportant to the other person. The lyrics express the desire to turn back time and make things right, but ultimately, the singer knows that they were never really needed in the first place.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses the difficulty of holding onto the memory of their relationship while the other person has moved on. The line "how can I sleep when I'm next to your bed?" is especially poignant, emphasizing the singer's struggle to let go and move on. The song ends with the singer accepting their place as an ornament on the nightstand, resigned to gather dust while the other person carries on with their life.
Overall, "Ornament" is a powerful and raw expression of the pain and confusion that comes with unrequited love and the struggle to let go.

Thank me later :p
[Intro]
In time, I'll be hanging on your nightstand by myself
As I sit in the dust while you lay with someone else
And I wish that you could feel how it felt
Knowing I am just an ornament on your shelf
[Verse 1]
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that
I just wish that I could go back
Funny how everything changes
Old feelings, new faces
They say home is where you make it
Resided in you, now it's vacant
[Chorus]
Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you sleep but you're with someone else
And every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the drawer but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
[Verse 2]
Now you gotta keep it all in like it's all good
But everything changed when you let me know it could
And if you could take it back I know you would
Won't throw me away when you know you should
Tell me what's real, is it all in my head?
Every night, every word that I said
They say move on but I'm better off dead
How can I sleep when I'm next to your bed?
How can you keep me confined in a frame?
Memories fading, the faces will change
But I still live in your head so I stay
Next to your bed, watch me wither away
[Chorus]
Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you sleep but you're with someone else
And every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the drawer but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
[Bridge]
All alone
In time, I'll be hanging on your nightstand by myself
And I gather dust alone on your shelf
[Chorus]
Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you're sleeping, you're with someone else
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the drawer but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
[Outro]
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that
I just wish that I could go back
Funny how everything changes
Old feelings new faces
They say home is where you make it
Resided in you, now it's vacant
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that
I just wish that I could go back
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
Honestly, you never needed this
