Here is the list of gear I used on 'just happy to be here'. Only thing missing is the software amp/effects he used in layering guitars. I am an analog witch so I don't know squat about computers. I am all about the vintage and archaic. I am an alchemist. #synths #gear #vintagekeys

I am a #badmotherfucker . I am 38 and have been living, breathing and studying music since I was in grade school. I am a product of counter culture mentality. I am brown and refuse to compromise with this white bread emo landscape. My music is my life's work! I have earned my stripes, dog gone it!

Did you know I wanted gospel backup singers on my album? I just ran out of time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I am planning meandering towards writing the next one...depending on funds, could be a while.

A reminder I am an 100% independant trans woman of color with zero support on the back end of my music. What I DO have is one of the best rock albums of the last year and a bad ass stage presence 🤪.

This just in, trans woman color performs in front of Illinois state capitol and doesn't give a damn about what you think.
