In 2024, I accidentally started a career as the illustrious “Cone Poem” when my tune “Evil Fucking Wizard” hit YouTube, commenters unable to decipher if it was “a shitpost, a fantasy-based commentary on society, or both” and drawing comparisons to styles of humor popular in internet culture in the 2000s and 2010s.
A guitarist of over a decade, I find my love of music, passion for goofing off, and inability to take myself seriously unfortunately and irreversibly intertwined, resulting in music that mixes the saucy guitar riffs and solos of the 70s and 80s with absurd lyrics about wizards punching each other and skeletons with gambling addictions.
Classically trained in music and currently pursuing a music business degree, I've has played with various jazz ensembles during my time at college, using the priceless knowledge bestowed upon me by various professors of music to, instead of something serious, unleash what has been dubbed as “shitpost music” upon the internet, amassing a small following that demands I write more songs about wizards.
Almost all of my music is written, arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely by me, with lyrics coming from myself and my friend Felix, who has been a partner in goofing off to me for many years.
