I've always had the inclination to make jokes and entertain. I remember doing a stand up routine for my school's talent show in 8th grade, then in my sophomore year of high school my friends and I began filming skits for YouTube. Those early videos, while rudimentary and at times nonsensical were the springboard for my creative journey.

Videos and Comedy never ended up receiving the dedication they deserved from me, as I was swept up into the local music scene at 18 and started molding my other passion with a ravenous dedication.

The next decade was spent in and out of bars, venues, garages, basements and two significant musical projects for me. The second of which would culminate in what I believe is the pinnacle of my artistry. My talented friends in Leveler trusted me enough with the story and concept I had in my head, and on their instrumental canvas I wrote one sombitch of a record. https://open.spotify.com/album/6Y7fyEbiHj67LQkFDER702?si=LSqEq_HwTAKepFn2y0Cofw

The idea of making video and comedic content, as well as exploring the other uses of my voice never left my mind though. This is the first chapter I've had decent enough time and equipment to give it a shot. I plan to keep producing my own content and using it to hone my skills, but this video here is one that I am very proud of. I know that I have a long way to go still, but what I really want to showcase with this is my personality, THAT'S what I'm trying to bottle.
