Sounds Like:
Migrating Island sounds like the people I love, the places I've been and want to be, the symphony of my soul, my internal melodies harmonizing with my relationships, harmonizing with my surrounding environments - real and imagined.

Most importantly, it is my love, Melissa Parris, that is my entire inspiration for how my music culminates into existence.

All instrumentation is acoustically/electrically self-orchestrated. The beats are either constructed one sound at a time and sequenced accordingly, or I beat-box them. Straight up Tonguetablism...seen?

Record Label: nope...just me.
Type of Label: None
