Madison, WI, USA

I’m from Madison, Wisconsin. I like wandering around & throwing rocks in the lakes. I’ve been playing music & experimenting with sounds since I was old enough for my dad to let me play around on his Casio SK-1. When I was 15, he taught me how to play guitar & music theory. I spent about 3 hours a day doing covers of my favorite songs, improvising my own, funny lyrics A lot of melodies come to me in my dreams. As soon as I wake up, I sing them into my phone. I expand them into songs on my guitar, & then arrange them with synths & drum loops & whatever *sounds* right. Some songs are very forgiving; others make me their slave. I like integrating unexpected forms & sounds in my songs because it keeps things interesting, & mirrors the chaos of my own consciousness. My performances are hyperactive, glammed-out adventures for me & my audience, with DIY-pop drag show energy! I’m especially inspired by Grimes, Princess Chelsea, George Clanton, Gorillaz & the fashion designer Raf Simon
