His music embraces and fuses traditional blues and classic rock, with elements of world, Latin, and African grooves. His Lyrics and message embody environmental awareness, indigenous and human rights, and LOVE. His music cannot be categorized, for he himself cannot be categorized. His own ethnic mix of African , Native American, and Central American ancestry cannot help but come out through his music, which he calls RED EARTH BLUES.
Too many artists today are doing music without meaning, without purpose. They do it more for the distortion of fame and money, hey, look at me I'm a rock star, or I’m a pop icon. Black Child Red does music for one simple reason. OUR EARTH IS DYING, for centuries, music has been used for healing, for prayer, for festivals, for joy, for unity, and ceremony. Red Earth Blues is a celebration of awareness through song and word, vibration, its an attempt to take MUSIC BACK TO ITS ROOTS. Black Child Red is against WAR, against Poverty, against Corporatization, against the government not honoring its promises to the Native American and indigenous people, against pollution, against Hate and Racism, against Capitalism, against Modern Day Slavery, against the loss of our natural ecosystems, forests, coral reefs, endangered animals. So with that introduction we welcome you and ask that you help to support the RED EARTH BLUES MOVEMENT, and we leave you with this statement by the artist himself:
I Black Child Red , descendant of the Choctaw, Maya, and Mother Africa will use my weapons(music ,poetry ,art)to make war upon the corrupt government who threatens our natural lands and environments. I will call my Revolution the Red Earth Revolution, and my music, Red Earth Blues. So to all my brothers and sisters, elders, mothers, children of the earth..I shall stand with you and offer my music to you, and with The Creators blessing, may my music reach the four corners of the earth, to help bring change and healing, peace and understanding. Yakoke (Thankyou) and let us Itanowat iah(Walk Together), for this walk will be a long one, but a Great one.
