Raised on the hopi reservation. Always had an ear for music but no way of making my own. Now that i can do it all with just my phone im using what i have to make something that sounds good to me.
Music is my therapy. Only recently have i found a means at creating my own. As someone who isnt good at expressing themself. This is how I put my own voice (through instrumentals) into the ether.
The bigger dream is live off my music. The realistic goal is be connected to people sonically and without words.
Basic needs for living for everyone so that, despite the decline in a livable environment for the population, we can be happy and healthy with the time we have left with our families.
My family has had a deep connection to the band deftones since i was young. Theyve seen them multiple times. Had partied with them. My mom has interviewed them. And we all still listen to their music all the time.
As a teen i discovered Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, and BFMV through the game Burnout. Then Guitar Hero and Rock Band released and my scope was widened from everything in those games. As of now in my awareness for my own mental health i discovered Mac Miller. From that I've slowly branched out to Earl Sweatshirt, Earthgang, Vince Staples and Thundercat.
Its not conscious to me how im inspired. I just start with something and see where it leads. I just hope its interesting.
That music can be more than just instruments and theory.
I did a guitar ensemble in high school. I hated it. I hope i never have to again.
Musicians reality is what art has always been. Theres so many voices that its hard to be heard or seen and if you are they won't always have your vision. Nor is there a guarantee that its profitable to sustain yourself.
I hope it helps me show people what i have to offer in this universe.
Finding the right ears to showcase what makes me feel good.
Im unaware of the scene in my area.
Transparency and humility to find every which way to share.
There's a lot of absolutely unheard of artistes on Bandlab that i wish i could showcase somehow. Kronicles is the one who comes to mind most.
