About Me


It's inevitable to feel disappointment in our lives. Especially in each other.
GROWING UP: Getting used to constant disappointment in people.
BEING A GROWN UP: Loving people and being kind to them despite the fact that they constantly disappoint you.
I am not a grown up.
But I'm trying?

NEW CD DARKRAZOR
Wax Electric Recordings
"I love this album. It seems like Chancellorpink has put his life on trial and his heart in a blender, and the end result is a snapshot of his soul that serves as a beautiful reminder that nothing inspires like beauty and tragedy. His lyrics tell stories with catchy hooks that pull the listener closer with each song. In my opinion, Darkrazor encompasses what music should be about. "
~Jad3d
“'Leaving' made me cry and 'Ballad of the Fat Old Perv' made me laugh. 'Falling Off this Train' and 'Lock Me Up' are also great tracks that stood out. There are so many creative aspects of the disc from the sound he's claimed as his own to little random things. In short, I love it.”
~Matthew Shimer, Modes of Resuscitation
“The “Chancie” is a profound writer with the ability to draw inspiration from the best that music has had to offer. The man is high on ideas with songs that are well thought out, cleverly layered and in addition lyrically excellent...The Cd is pleasantly sensitive and cathartic; I look forward to the release of the Chancellors next effort.”
~ mickchelski
“I like this album. It's got poppy melodies that make me feel like I'm a ray of sunshine hugging a pony on top of a chocolate rainbow, and other times it's got deep, reverberating lyrics mixed with dark and spooky instrumentation that makes me question my perception on life”
~ Paul Sholly, Immortal Irony of the Broken Man
