A lifetime of sound before the first release.

Long before these releases, music was already braided through my family, childhood, friendships, and experiments with technology.

Music began before I could walk.

Before I could walk, I remember listening and dancing to the Cars with my mom. By the time I was two or three, I was playing piano and organ with my grandmother. She also played accordion, and those early hours made music feel like part of family life rather than something distant or formal.

Then came reeds, strings, and the blues.

With my parents' support, I learned saxophone at an early age and guitar in high school.

I spent years learning harmonica while sitting next to a giant box speaker, listening closely to blues classics and the songs the Blues Brothers covered.

I first performed as Elwood.

My first performance was as a teenager at Musikfest. Our Blues Brothers reenactment band played the Pringles Stage after Tool, and I was Elwood.

That memory still carries the mix of theater, nerve, humor, and live energy that I want music to hold.

Fruity Loops opened another door.

I started making electronic music in the early Fruity Loops days. Some of those first songs led to an invitation to perform at a trance festival in Paris.

Code, tools, and new technology have been part of my musical vocabulary ever since—not separate from the human story, but ways to carry it farther.

The catalog holds people and time.

The music carries pieces of my friends and family, childhood instruments, early stages, places I have lived, and memories of friends who are no longer here.

That is why I treat AI as a partner rather than a disguise. The tools help me finish the work, but the reasons for making it are deeply personal.
