About the artist

I am from the Silver State, the city of Las Vegas. Vegas is not a great place and I got out of there as soon as I could. But the desert is in me. I've only just realized this and been inspired by this fact. I used to catch scorpions in a coffee can, kick barrel cactus with my boots with red, beige and tan sand in my hair. I miss that. So I left the desert and the desolation but I still dream of them. And sing of them. The isolation and the wasteland shaped me. And I grew up an hour away from nuclear bomb testing, or in other words; The End of the World. I sing about that too.
