Dubian (Eric Labelle)


I make music to make things hard on myself. Why else would anyone create? Everyone's got to get up, stay clean, earn a living and keep their friends happy so to try and manage a creative life on top of that is masochism.

And yet to "an artist", what would be masochistic IS to not to do just that. Real life starts when you punch out and your friends go home. That's when you are ON.

Anyone who tell's you otherwise just hasn't got the balls 'cause to give up and not put out is castration.

Listen to Dubian’s podcast for free on dubearth.com on the fourth Thursday of every month starting in October!
