I've been writing and producing music since the mid 90's. I love it. Cut my teeth as the lyricist in X-UP from 1995-1998 and after that spent the next 5 or 6 years immersed in the Indianapolis Hip Hop Scene. It was a pretty solid time for Hip Hop in my beloved city. I entered every rap battle possible. Monday nights at The Melody Inn were absolutely rawkus. Honing in on some freestyles skills that have stuck with me to this day & really transition into other forms of music & live performance. 

In 2004 The Hardees were born. It is here I would spend the next 18 years & counting creating music with the best possible concoction of three personalities. Over the past 2 decades we have released 4 studio albums & a live recording from Odomfest. We are known for jumping all over the place musically regarding genre. No boundaries. None. Presently we are all doing what has to be done to survive and are hoping to eventually hit the studio to record like we have always done. Until then always                      Holler Blap! 

This brings us  to present day & the goings on within the past few years. I've realized bringing music to people for any occasion is something I truly enjoy. In 2016 I released my first solo album Always Well and followed that up with Wellness Check in 2021. Recorded throughout 2020 within my home studio I was really able to grasp the art of solo performance. Summer of 2020 I took my solo show out in public for the first time. It was well received and folks completely understand the comedic nature of my sets. It is truly gratifying. I'm on a quest to continue to develop new material & sounds that will linger. Join me if you love it. No worries if you don't.
