Hip-hop Spoken word Minneapolis
Music
I came to music through poetry. I’ve been making records since 2006, usually starting with the words and working with producers who hear what else the song can become.
More than 50 songs across 14 projects, with Big Cats, Lydia Liza, K.Raydio, Comn Dan, and others. I’ve played 7th Street Entry and rooms around the country.
