DARK ART IN PUBLIC
Share
I want to be very clear about something.
A lot of people aren’t uncomfortable with my music.
They’re uncomfortable with the fact that I’m being myself.
Because when someone stands fully in who they are, it forces everyone else to confront how much of their life is controlled by fear.
Fear of not fitting the standard.
Fear of losing access.
Fear of doing something without permission.
That’s what this is really about.
I’ve been writing music since I was a kid before studio time, before platforms, before any of this industry nonsense. I wrote because I had something to get off my chest. Because life was happening and the only way I could process it was to put it on a beat.
This was never about “content.”
This was survival.
Fast forward to now.
We write real stories from real life. We build the production ourselves. We pay for the process ourselves. We put our energy, money, and time into this art ourselves.
And today I decided I’m done letting middlemen stand between that work and the people it’s meant for.
No more streaming services.
Not because I’m angry.
Because I’m clear.
I’m done putting my art inside systems that can shut it off, hide it, devalue it, or remove it because of an office decision, a technical issue, or an algorithm that doesn’t care who you are.
That setup only works for people who are comfortable not owning anything.
I’ve heard all the feedback before:
“Your lyrics are too tough.”
“The words make people uncomfortable.”
“You should sound like this.”
“This is the industry standard.”
Let me say this plainly:
The standard is built for people who are afraid to stand on their own.
When you hear resilience and it makes you uneasy, that’s not my problem. That’s the sound of something you’ve been taught to suppress.
So here’s what we’re doing now.
The music lives here on our site.
Direct. Owned. Untouched.
When you buy a record from us, you’re not just buying a song.
You’re participating in something different.
Direct exchange hits different.
Ownership hits different.
Art without permission hits different.
People all over the world are being told the same lie:
“Stop selling directly.”
“Stop owning your work.”
“Just upload it here and let us handle it.”
That’s a trap.
We have the power to decide where our art lives.
We have the power to decide what we support.
We have the power to move our money and our energy without asking.
This is the Dark Art campaign.
Non-stop music.
Non-stop storytelling.
Non-stop resilience.
If that’s too much for you, I understand.
Truth usually is.
For those of you who already support us thank you.
For those of you who get it welcome.
The music is here now.
And it’s staying here.
