still creating while directly in the face of adversity...
Wanted to take a moment to refresh fans / listeners as it seems like a few people are somewhat confused about the current rollout / timeline of what’s been going on due to me only really explaining things randomly on Instagram.
Basically: Last year I went back to normal ‘adulting’, doing the whole 9 – 5 corporate thing. Had even moved a couple times to be closer to my job, but in short – I’ve been dealing with a pretty heavy amount of racism / prejudiced behavior since moving to the East Bay, and have had to make many adjustments for my own safety and sanity due to this treatment.
In addition to this, the housing I moved into wound up being weird unfortunately, and now I’m in a situation that from what I'm told is essentially like the movie ‘Get Out’ after joining an ‘artist space’ that is actually just basically a co-op. I live with a bunch of white / white adjacent people I can’t trust to put it very lightly. Constant microaggressions, food tampering, voyeurism (people recording me), sexual projections, and too many other things to get into that have been going on for basically an entire year.
This group of people has now been actively plotting in recent months trying to find a way to get me evicted because I caught them in the act (12+ people in a room discussing / spreading lies about me), among other things, and have no longer put effort into interacting with them.
These situations and my phone / printer / etc. all breaking at the same time around the start of the summer caused some delays that derailed the drops for the final ‘speechless’ and GHOST REPORTER physicals. I’ve had to spend thousands of dollars replacing / repressing a bunch of this stuff.
The goal despite everything going on was to replace my equipment and finish all my projects so I can just put everything out while I have the extra time, and go from there – which I have somehow managed to do, but now this is the part where the support of the fans / listeners would be an amazing help as it’d assist me in getting out of this toxic environment.
Regardless of what happens -
I have several projects of new music between myself and the label that will be releasing throughout this month up until the end of the year and want to ask for your contribution in the form of listening, sharing, ordering physical media, or donating via the link here.
This will directly help me in my efforts to create and share new music with you.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

Notes: All current orders for CDs and USBs will be shipped by the end of next week (10/17) and cassette versions will follow in the coming weeks. No real delays, just very expensive all around so I’ve been trying to ship in bulk on designated days.
International orders are being handled as well despite the tariff situation and holiday price increases 👍
