Behind the Music

When it comes to my music, I try to curate an experience that surpasses standard musical conventions. To me, it’s not just about the emotion of a song and what that teaches us. Rather it’s about how you experience the song as you listen to it and let it flow through your body. It’s the DNA of a techno song that, as you move yourself to the beat, allows your mind to drift away and undergo fulfilling moments. I want my music to lead a listener on a journey that allows them to draw their own conclusions about different aspects of The Outlaw Ocean and hopefully open their minds to these issues, just as the book did for me.

The Journalism behind the Music

All music in this project is based on The Outlaw Ocean, a New York Times Best-Selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. This reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships and other topics.
