TEN YEARS is a LONG TIME.

Don’t let anyone tell you different. But what is so amazing about a decade is the amount of things that happen in that span of time. You’ve learned so much. You’ve seen so much. We’ve survived so much. Hopefully you’ve connected with others. Even if it’s just the mailman. A LOT has happened from when I first started this journey. This release is like none I’ve done before. This is EVERY SINGLE, EVERY ALBUM, EVERY EP, both released, and unreleased. Totaling at 100 individual, original pieces of music. With this release, there is a booklet I’ve created for you to hear directly from me what happened that year and what tracks I created. Each page has a track listing, but not every track is listed. There are some goodies that I don’t mention that are in there. You get to do some crate digging, because I’m providing the crate.

Why am I releasing my entire discography? Well, one reason is for me to move forward musically. Take another artist that you like, find their earliest tracks. When no one knew who they were, when they weren’t the headlining act, when you could go talk or even share a beer with this artist when they were getting their start. Listen, and I mean really listen. Can you hear their musical progression? Some artists come out the gate powerful, and their power changes shape over time, like Madonna. Some even soften. Others, can ride that edge from start to finish. Others still have to bail to save their vocal cords (if they sing). Some have to stop for mental, medical, or even legal reasons. I’ve sat and gone through each of these songs in this release chronologically, and I can tell you first hand that I can hear my progression. If you produce music, I beg of you to go back and listen to your earliest works. Tell me what you hear. Memories of burning the midnight oil, learning your tools, right? Can’t sleep because you don’t know if the demo you submitted is going to get you on the label you’ve admired for years, right? How about crying because you created a something that you feel could stand next to, and possibly outshine your heroes?

Yup. That, is growth.

But one thing is certain, they put their ALL into their craft. All we — the audience — gets to see is the end product. What we never get to see is the sleepless nights, the worrying, the tears, the failures, the people who promise to help you but don’t, the significant others who cause them mental anguish or speak up on your behalf to a club owner to let you actually have the party. These obstacles only surface when you are growing. The struggle is real. The other reason, is to start 2023 with a clear path. I’ve got new things coming, and I want to make sure I have things where they need to be to get them to you in the best possible light. And the last reason, is that I am damn proud of what I’ve done in these last ten years. Have you ever stopped, and turned around to look at what you’ve done thus far? It’s truly about THE JOURNEY. Sure, mountain tops like this one give way to amazing views of what I’ve accomplished, but I’m even more excited about what’s to come! New people, new places, new spaces, learning new things, which means growth. Growth is HARD, but so freaking worth it.

This release is only available here on the Daibutsu Music Website. And due to the file size of this release, I’m using Gumroad for the purchase.
