move

It is the first week of Fall in September 2013. I've been actively making music since 2007 with no real breaks in between doing so and having released multiple albums and EPs over these 6 years. I'll admit I have gotten better overtime, and that I have certainly crashed and burned my whole way through learning production independently and with no formal instruction. I have had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, both in person and online through the pursuit of music. It has been a beautiful journey, that I have become both enthusiastic and equally stressed out from.

Move is a song about my recent relocation to Austin Texas in April 2013. I have been thinking about writing and releasing this song for months since the move. I drove out to Austin Texas in my big scary white van all by myself. I had never taken such a long road trip, especially not by myself. I managed to make it to Austin just fine and after some aggressive searching through craigslist and career builder I have been able to start settling in, in my new city. I have had the chance to play some of the open mic circuit here in Austin, gaining favorable loud applause and reception from a totally neutral audience that had no idea I existed. Winning over their participation in songs like "Kitty Kat Swag", I feel I have the ability to appeal to a larger audience and still keep my artistic integrity in tact. While this is certainly a challenge, I hope to at least at this point inspire people my own special way. I cannot guarantee myself I am going to amass those thousands of followers I dream about, all I can do is focus on is the integrity of my work on its own and make music that isn't disposable or that chases after the current trends in popular music so aggressively. That is what "Move!" is about, it's my first time releasing a single by itself and promoting it without an album to accompany it. When I produced the instrumental for this, I knew I had to do something with it. This is what came out of it, in my state of mind and after listening to a lot of KyaryPamyuPamyu, M83, and The Postal Service.

I plan on taking that break on music for a little bit at least to at the minimum give me a healthy break from being so stressed out about trying to become a successful artist. I also need to work on getting myself back in the right state of mind/form both personally and financially. Don't judge me by my weight, all that weight goes heavy into making the most swagged out music a future legend like Chris Big Money just does out of habit. The depression is real (yes I exp depression over my music and life in general, generally I carry myself well in public idk), and I hope to inspire those 9-5ers by day, party music producers by night in this double life struggle we live daily. Let our co workers feel our pain! Feels.
