i have been releasing music publicly as a career for 5 years as of today. frankly, its weird to think 5 years has already passed and im only just starting to get my footing with this whole thing, lol. i remember being just a dumb litte almost-14 year old fiddling with fl studio not knowing what the FUCK i was doing and just randomly deciding to put out an album of instrumental songs of... varying quality. i wonder what that kid would think seeing me nowadays, still doing it 5 years later. i dont think i'd have liked the fact i wrote emo music, i was a little close-minded 5 years ago. you live and you learn and all that jazz. thanks yall for all the support. ive made good progress on lp2, i promise!
hai :3
lot of stuff has happened since my last post here! im (hopefully) going back to seattle again for friendsfest26, very very exciting stuff. i finally dealt with a problem i was having where, to put it bluntly, i couldnt access my money for like 3 months. that was scary. but now its fixed! so yeah, trip is happening. oh, and im also part of another band too! midwest post death. post recovery was a fun album to sing on im very excited for what mwpd holds in the future. in other news, i may or may not be writing more WWDYS. keep the eyes peeled. but like. wait a little bit. writing music takes a little while. bear with me, Lol
whats up guys
well i didnt mean to make this a monthly update but its ended up that way lol. things have been good over here in travis-land, been taking a step back from writing Full Songs so i dont write the same album twice, lol. hope all has been well with everybody who reads this. have a great valentines day to all the people in love or otherwise partnered, and have a great saturday to those who arent!

its been a while since i last updated the site! hey! i've been very busy these past few months, and basically all i've gotta say is theres something very cool coming out in a week that you should keep your ears peeled for... happy new year everybody! :3
well howdy
It's been some time, huh? Well i dont really know what to update on but lots of things have happened since my last update. Of everything that has happened i think im gonna specifically pinpoint on one specific event. Yeah! My birthday! On September 14th! Lol. But yes my birthday was semi-recent. I'm an adult now. I'm 18 Darn Years Old. Its really weird being legally an adult. Cause now i have the knowledge in the back of my head that i have more abilities. Its only like a fraction of a percentage of a handful of stuff i can do, but its still More things, right?!?!?!?!?!?! Yay! I'm old! Oh god. I'm old.
WE CAN FUCKING DO THIS
i just got back from the most important trip of my entire life. it was my first time leaving the state, my first time flying on an airplane, and my first time in seattle. above all else, it was my first time meeting alex, my partner of nearly 4 years. to say that this trip was incredible would genuinely be an understatement. i tried new things, i learned new things, and i realized a lot about myself and the world. i had a brief conversation with a different person also named alex, the one behind the band drug bug and 1/2 of willy rodriguez. and they said something along the lines of "if i was 17 and doing this trip it would be really important to me." im heavily paraphrasing that, but it rings incredibly true. my life has forever been changed.
theres a bench in cal anderson park that me and my partner alex sat on while we waited for everybody the day before friends fest 2025. my legs were so sore from all the walking we had done in the previous days, and i needed to rest before hanging out with everybody else. one of the cool things about seattle to me is there is a lot of simple graffiti. stuff written by random people with sharpie markers that they just so happened to have. and on this bench that me and alex sat on, on the other side of the bar in the middle, there was a message written big on the top wooden beam. words that i had really been needing to hear for quite a while, but never really had the guts to admit to it.
"WE CAN FUCKING DO THIS"
happy birthday
i forgot to say it, but yesterday was the 4 year anniversary for my "first" album. July 21st is 2021 is where it all started. i have thought before that i should redo that album one day but its really not a good album, in complete honesty. but its important to me, very much so
hey lol
so update on everything, the whole seattle trip is HAPPENING !! everything is good and set and basically its a game of waiting at this point. very excited to see all my friends and my partner and have so much fun with all of them
the plan is to find seattle
i have had a trip to seattle planned (and payed for) this whole year, and quite stupidly have procrastinated a very important part of said trip. the plan is, i need to get that dealt with within the next week or two or else i am FUCKED. thats not really a plan i realize...
good morning, vro
i woke up at 8pm on accident. the idea of a nap was simply too enticing, to the dismay of my sleep schedule
day 1 of website complete
currently 4:44 am as of writing, im decently proud of where the website is rn. even if its just a template that, for all intents and purposes, i absolutely butchered. hope the site is a joy to you as much as it is to me!
ive been doing music since about 2019, been doing it "seriously" since 2020. ive had multiple projects in that time, most of them now defunct or on indefinite hiatus. ive been surrounded by music my whole life and have spent a lot of my time just fucking around doing whatever i feel like. its all about fun and self expression and whatnot.
i record most(if not ALL) audio with a rode nt1a plugged into a focusrite 2i2 3rd gen and use sennheiser hd-25 headphones. my guitar amp is a boss katana 50 mk1. i use ableton for all my finished music, fl studio mostly for demos nowadays. if im not recording the guitar amp with a mic (rare choice nowadays) its either di into an amp sim or just direct audio from the amp itself. 99% of my bass is recorded di
