About Me

My name is nokes. I play and record all the instruments heard. I am 24 years old. I believe my songs possess reason. I write about what I know. I know almost nothing. I know pain. I know love. I know what it is like, growing older. All in all, everything we do should have meaning. Maybe my music has some. Maybe it just is what it is.
peace and love
God bless

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get the most joy in life out of music." - Albert Einstein
