Tools of the Trade

About

"To answer that honestly: the soul, the vision, the stories, and the pain are 100% human. I’m a line cook by day, living out here in the Idaho mountains, pulling from decades of real life—from the rain in Seattle to the heat in Florida, late nights, dark humor, and growing up on horror movies and 90s hip-hop. Every lyric, every concept, every word that gets laid down comes straight out of my own head and my own experiences. When it comes to putting the pieces together, I use modern tools to help bring the sound to life, just like artists have always embraced new technology to push boundaries. But a tool is only as good as the mind driving it. No algorithm can replicate waking up with a specific vibe in your chest, writing raw bars about your dog plotting on squirrels, surviving the grind, or building a life with your bunker queen. At the end of the day, a computer doesn't bleed, it doesn't struggle, and it doesn't have a story to tell. I do. The tech is just the brush; the canvas and the blood are all mine."
