What is it like being a black artist?
Being black: is confusing and challenging, especially as someone who has always felt more 'universal' and has had turbulence over the years identifying with a culture that seemed antithetical to my natural (and secret existence) as a queer person.
Where are you from?
Born and raised on earth this time around in st. Louis, mo. though I consider at the moment LA my home base.
What is your message as an artist?
My message is, think lol. I almost said 'love' but I kinda feel like that's a given at this point. I think it's a good time for many people to start thinking critically about what it means to exist in a fascist state where the status quo is oppression and hate.
What are your inspirations?
Jean-Michel Basquiat Morrissey James Baldwin Greg Araki Maya Angelou Tupac The Buddha Celeste X
Patti Smith
