Bio: I've written and recorded an asshole load of music over the years, both by myself and in collaboration with others. I've been in bands such as Cheap Blue Horn (which was also a public access TV show for a while), Pardon Our Dust, and have recorded with hip hop ariste extraordaire, Ja$on Bane.

Alone, I'm Chonk. I record song to entertain myself, my friends, and whoever else wants to listen. I love experimenting with new instruments, songwriting techniques, noises/harmonies, and recording methods. I also play live sometimes, and enjoy it quite a great amount of deal.
