New tune- 'Alas! New Yorick'

About Me



FIRSTLY, PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF YOU LIKE MY STUFF AND WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION - I WILL REPLY. SECONDLY, PLEASE REPLY TO MY MESSAGES IF I TELL YOU THAT I HAVE SERIOUS LOVE FOR YOU. OTHERWISE, I'LL JUST GET DESPONDENT AND SULKY

I'm 19. I've been disappointed by the industry twice already, and now I'm feeling pretty badass. So sign me, or I'll shoot you.

My imagination is pretty far reaching, and so are my influences, so I'm not really sure how I would describe my style, other than as a total misch-masch of sounds and genres (you name it, I wanna get it in my tunes).
