downshift

i had this kinda funny realization that i never decided to be an artist..

i started doing art as a kid (like everyone else) and then just never really stopped, and in the end a lot of it overlapped with my business ventures and other projects over the years

that music was the thing to kinda take off still seems a bit surprising, but i'm super grateful and excited for this next chapter 

i'll be announcing a lot more music-related things soon 🥳 

if you're in Austin, i should be making a lot more consistent and prominent public appearances behind the decks this summer/fall. we are cooking 🧑‍🍳

Just here for the laughs, the loot, and the chaos. Don’t take me too seriously I’m just a walking meme with a side of chaos. 😆🔥

Day and night in $DEGEN 🎩🎩

That’s such a sick come-up story
What’s been the biggest surprise since going pro?

i got a small sound system and just started spinning publicly, without permission, in March (SXSW here in Austin)

i got discovered by a prominent talent booker/manager while playing an underground rave in Austin shortly thereafter (at like 4:30 in the morning lol)

he loved my demos outright, and now we are business partners; i'm helping him produce and promote events and am potentially producing music for some of the labels he works with (all house and techno)

background to all of this is 7 years of producing dance music and 3 years of DJing, so i'm definitely not new to it, just never done it professionally before

Love that it all flowed naturally feels real 
What sparked the shift toward music taking off?
