About The Artist

Music

My love of music started very early. Getting a CD player at a very young age, music was always there for me to escape into. Around the age of 10, I began finding my own music, starting with Linkin Park and Slipknot. Specifically Papercut by Linkin Park and Duality by Slipknot. This immediately sparked an interest in Alternative and Metal genres.  

Slipknot’s aggressive, heavy sound led me to heavier bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Abominable Putridity, Malodorus, and more. My love of metal then began to spread to other areas such as Atmospheric / Depressive Black Metal and Funeral Doom, adding atmosphere, mystery, and emotional elements to my tastes.

Meanwhile, Linkin Park’s instrumentals and rap influence dragged me more toward electronic genres, such as Witch House, Dubstep, and Drum ‘N Bass. The melodies and beats of these genres were key factors in making the connection to Dark Trap.

When I met my girlfriend, at the time she was listening to a lot of Travis Scott and Post Malone. While I was still mostly in my metal phase, I was also opening up to new music. I enjoyed the beats and sounds of these artists, but they didn't quite have the vibe I wanted.  

The artists I found that had the sounds and vibes I was looking for  were:

-Ghostemane

-Witchhouse 40k

-Warlord Colossus

-Bleed The Wicked Menace

-Bones. 

In my music, I attempt to combine these styles of music with a heavy dose of horror, storytelling, and atmosphere. But I plan to always expand, grow, and incorporate new things.

Horror

My love of horror, much like my love of music, began at a very early age as well. Around the age of 7, I was introduced to the movie Tremors, which marked the beginning of my love for monsters. Add in video games such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and F.E.A.R., and I was hooked on spooks. I began writing short stories (and even attempted a couple of novels) when I was 16, writing short horror stories for apps like Reddit.

I believe horror is a very misunderstood genre. It can be dark, depressing, repulsive even. But it can also be fun, silly, cathartic, and even relaxing. Horror can be a safe space, where the monsters aren't real and you can root for, or even be one yourself. We all have a little dark side in us. Some more than others.
