Artist Statement

Artist Statement

Originally, I used to create my art primarily for my own enjoyment. I believed that if other people would see or enjoy my work, that’s great but ultimately the intended audience of my work was usually myself. However, I have begun to try and share my somewhat self-reflective internal work with the outside world. Music is my primary artistic medium but I do enjoy combining that with visual elements such as film and images, particularly through the format of music videos.

My musical background began with childhood love of rock bands such as The Beatles and Stones and developed into an obsession with rock music history and culture. I found the music seemed to reflect an internal feeling of rebellion and individuality within myself. I use my music as an outlet for my own emotional and philosophical ideas and concepts as well as means of creative self-exploration.

I want to be able to express my music on a visual level and add another dimension to my work. I have always had a fascination with pop culture, particularly pop music and I want to find a way to incorporate my own music into various forms of media as well as analyze and discuss the music of others. I’m interested in documenting and sharing my interpretations of artists and musicians as well as create my own work. I’m interested in the field of music criticism and analysis. I wish to try to understand the art on a deeper more emotional yet cerebral level. I want to be able to create films that enhance or complement my music as well as explore the work of others.
