šŸŽ„: @ritualcommunications This is footage from last weeks show at @innerspace_atl where my band @melodicmonsterband is playing one of my all time favorite songs, ā€œStoned in the Field.ā€ We’ve played that song in a lot of spaces but last week was one of the best. The ambience, the noise, the raw energy coming together to form something I can’t explain. When you’re feeling the music, the audience can feel what you feel and I’m grateful for everyone who showed up and enjoyed our set. If you dig what you see in the video, come and experience a Melodic Monster show where we help you escape this world and bring you into the ethereal, theatrical chaos where angels learn to fly and where devils find love. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend and that reality hasn’t hit you so hard. Be kind, stay hydrated, love yourself completely and live out your muthafuckin’ dreams ✨ #innerspace #atlanta #concert #show #psychedelicrock #alternativerock #ambient #experimental

šŸŽ„: @ritualcommunications Last Friday, I officially presented my debut poetry book, My Words. Your Freedom. at my poetry event where I read some proms from the book, showed a short video made by my friend @hot_mug and performed two songs with my band @melodicmonsterband with @badmojorevivalsessions filling in on bass. The songs performed ā€œWhere Are We?ā€ and ā€œThe Ever Growing Tideā€ can be found on all music platforms including Bandcamp. It was great to finally bring these songs to life and I’m excited to perform them for other audiences. The book is $10 and you can purchase one from me or you can go to the man (Amazon) and buy it there. My Words. Your Freedom. Remember it. Hope you guys had a lovely weekend and if you don’t do anything else, live out your muthafuckin DrEaMs… #poetry #mywordsyourfreedom #bengarden #theevergrowingtide #wherearewe

šŸ“ø: Yours Truly šŸ˜Ž This past Tuesday, I went to the AMPS jam at @eyedrum and it was a blast! More people came out than usual and the jams were on fire. It’s a blessing to be surrounded by great musicians in one place. Shoutout to @fourpx @double_dubby and @j_m_pepper for putting on and keeping up such a great event šŸ™šŸ¾ @eyedrum is definitely a great place to meet great artists and musicians and I’m grateful to be a part of it. One thing I enjoy about taking pictures is being able to document the occasion and making people look fucking cool. I’m still getting the hang of the whole photography thing so I appreciate @crushedvelvetfilms for helping me out on this new venture. I could only post 10 pictures but believe me, there’s more and I’ll be making a page soon for you to explore my world through the camera lens ✨ #eyedrum #AMPS #jam #music #musicians #photography #thebeneffect

In true fashion, I got there in just enough time to catch @sweettime.atl close out the night and they put on quite a show. They are heading out on tour so best of luck to them and shoutout to all of the other bands that played that night. #atlanta #music #scene #venue #dıy

I posted this in my stories so now I’m posting it here. I’m opening up my studio space on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays between 12-5 for any creatives that would like to collaborate or work on their own project. Collaboration with me includes making music, photography, film, lighting and formulating creative ideas. There is a sign up sheet in the links section of my profile. I should receive an email and then I’ll get back to you to confirm. As always, be kind, be safe, drink water before you pass out and live out your dreams ✨
