About Me

i am a storyteller who is trapped in the capitalistic economic system that wants me to give up my passion. i of course refuse so they try to scare me into joining by making it hard for me to eat consistently without capitalism. from the moment i heard "blackbird" by the beatles i knew that something was inside of me dying to get out. luckily no one ever told me how to sing or play guitar correctly so i don't try to play overly complicated stuff or sing properly to try to impress anyone. sometimes pain is simplistic and other times beauty is complicated so all of my songs are different. i just want to convey the fact that i think the world is beautiful but at the same time it can be so goddamn sad. for me singing and writing is an attempt to answer the question that haunts me, "What price would i pay for a free soul?"
