About Me


I am tha pumpsta. What that means precisely is debatable. I tend to believe that I am tha pumpsta because I, like most people from the durty durty live life a little “crunk”.
Currently I am working on a third album and a 12” release titled “tha Charm” with the song L-0-V-E (no crying at the disco). I just released “Bass Black Treble White” with the amazing people at milkthebeef records! In addition to an enhanced audio CD, there is also a limited edition 2 piece vinyl. One black vinyl representing the 7 virtues and one white vinyl representing the 7 sins. It is available in select stores and on pumpsta.com. (Buy from me it’s cheaper!) The audio CD comes enhanced with the music videos FREEKY by Grant Worth as well as Temple, a reedit of some nostalgic marines footage I made myself. Watch it online or better yet, buy the album!
Also under my belt is the first pumpsta album titled “alphabitize the nation!” I understand alphabitize is misspelled, but it was too late and Photoshop doesn’t have spell check so alphabitize stuck. I have done all the design and layout for my work including the new peace and pumpsta oversized UNI-T. This is also available on pumpsta.com or in select fancy boutiques, once again buy from me it’s cheaper!
I have worked with a whole slew of Kats including Avenue D, Black Cracker and Bunny Rabbit, Gio Black Peter, Will Lemon, Gustavo Andrade and Stephonik and of course the amazing Shannon funchess aka Derrière of !!!, TV on the Radio and every other amazing band you’ve ever heard in your life. As well as lots and lots of others I am sure I am forgetting to mention.
I love life, people, and music… Besides the recorder, my first “real” instrument was the trumpet in middle school. I was your typical overweight nerd who knew every word to “whoop there it is” by Tag Team (there is a cover of it on “Bass Black Treble White.”)
For three years I played in a band called Durty Nanas. In a safety deposit box rests recordings that under the guidance of god will be released one day. But only when humanity is ready…
