Do you write your own music?

 

Yes, but the Father above dictates it through me.

 

What do you like about your pursuit of music?:

 

Everything, the whole starving artist lifestyle.

 

How did you get started?

 

In high school, I would write songs about my old girlfriends but really got into it when I started recording at Super Collider Studio here in town.

 

Describe a memorable moment from your pursuit of music and what you’re working on now.

My trips to Colorado for shows are probably some of my most memorable moments — just how people know my music there and recognize me is awesome. Colorado's awesome.

I'm working on an EP with Adam Lambert; he's a local producer. The whole process has been fun so far. He's really talented.

 

Do you have a website?

Yea, facebook.com/cloudsandhippies.

 

In what kinds of venues do you perform?

Well, anywhere that books me. I don't really discriminate. And my next performance is at Cervantes Ballroom in Denver on Feb. 26!

Type of music you perform: A lot of music that has special meaning for me; I would describe it as rap, but we compose a lot of our sounds, and they're different.
