Excited to see this community take off! I'm currently based out of Santa Barbara, California, but will probably be moving to the Netherlands by the end of the year.
I'm an artist and a music/music video producer specializing in modern metal. I have my current band/project DJENTRIFIED where I make politically charged songs about standing strong in empathy and morality and rising up against injustice including the current American government/regime and the corporate network that has infiltrated it for their own benefit at the expense of all of ours. Next thirty days, I'm hoping to finish at least 1-2 songs for an album I've been working on for a client/friend. Definitely excited about it, because my client has a background in black metal and thrash, etc., but really loved what I've done in regards to my own (modern metal) music, so we've created a super interesting blend of genre throughout this album thus far (a sneak peak to one of the finished songs below). The album will essentially be a kind of soundtrack to the different factions in the tabletop RPG Trench Crusade. We're hoping to strike a deal with them in the process!
My goal for the rest of the year though is to quit my job, focus on music/music video production full-time, and make the move to the Netherlands.
The one thing slowing me down right now is my job. It's draining, and I don't feel like I have much left after a days work, so I'm not able to be as productive or complete what I want to. What would make the next 90 days feel like a win would be to finish the album (or at least minus the intro and outro tracks) and maybe find a new client to take on.
With that being said, here's the song Disciple of the Burning Water! (Got permission from my client to share here, but please don't it share out elsewhere, thank you!)
