About Me



Music About Lyrics was a the first album between Bakari and I. He did the music and I did the lyrics and design. We're really excited about our EP will soon be available for free online. The EP features vocals from Kelley Madden and also features Emergency Entrance and Ross Swinson.

Be sure to message us about Booking and what not!

COMING SOON! We're currently working on a follow-up to Music about Lyrics. Expect greatness :)
