Fighting For Your Life

What it means, why I do it, and what I want from you

❓ Why I’m Doing This

People ask me all the time:
“What does Fighting for your life mean?”
“Why are you doing all this?”
“What’s your motivation?”
And my favorite: “What do you get out of it?”

Here's the truth—raw and unfiltered. If it speaks to you, you’ll know. If it doesn’t, that’s okay too. But I won’t water it down.

❤️‍🔥 Love. Hate. Problems.

I’ve made music since I was a kid. It was my first outlet. Listening—really listening—transformed me. Not passively letting it play in the background, but diving into it. Music is life: loops, arrangements, patterns, progressions. I’ve walked away from it, but it never let me go.

Just like problems never did.
I was born into a life that kept testing me. The central theme? Adapt or die.

I learned to love because I’m passionate. I learned to hate because I was taught to—through lies, hypocrisy, and broken promises. I taught myself to solve problems, because I had to. And I developed an intense empathy and curiosity that led me deep into other people’s minds. Sometimes too deep. I’ve pulled back from human interaction to protect myself.

🧠 The Mind That Doesn’t Let Go

Here’s the part that’s hard to explain:
I remember everything. Every mistake. Every loss. Every scream I didn’t let out. That’s not a superpower—it’s a prison. I live with it constantly.

Despair haunts me. I carry it from the shower to the desert, to the ocean, to the mountains. It chokes happiness before I can fully feel it.
It hurts to be happy.
This is my reality.

Imagine being in the middle of the ocean, no life jacket, no raft—just trying to stay afloat. You can’t stop swimming or you drown. That’s most days.
But music… and problem-solving… they’re my life rafts.

🔍 Why People Do What They Do

I watch people and ask, “Why did they do that?”
What were they hoping to get out of it?
The answers vary, but usually boil down to a want or need—love, validation, control, survival.

Often, people don’t even know what they really want.
They’re chasing shadows.
Music helps me unravel that—both in myself and others. It helps me be my best self.

That’s the point.

❗ Why It Matters

I believe in necessary suffering—and I believe a lot of what we go through is completely unnecessary.

That’s where I come in.
My two biggest burdens—deep empathy and relentless memory—can be turned into strengths.

1. Music is connection. It lets us talk without words, without judgment, without all the baggage.

2. Helping people live longer and better is something I believe in.

3. I care about you, even if you don’t know me.

🥊 What Is “Fighting for Your Life”?

It’s what we all do, in our own way.

Whether you’re battling cancer, depression, trauma, addiction, loss, injustice, aging, burnout, or just the crushing weight of existence—if you’re still breathing, you’re fighting.

Fighting for your life means not giving up.
And when you know your reason—your purpose—it makes the fight a little easier. It gives your pain a place to go.

That’s what I’m here to help with:
To reduce unnecessary suffering through music, purpose, and community.

💬 So What Do I Get Out of This?

After a lifetime of bad decisions and the suffering they caused, I’m doing the right thing for the right reason.

I get to share my music.
I get to perform.
I get to connect.
And I get to give people a reason to stay alive just one more day.

That’s enough for me.

⚡ The Catalyst

The real turning point was when I got COVID.
Flat on my back, unable to speak. I thought about everything I hadn’t done. The lives I hadn’t touched. The music I hadn’t shared.
I had a fever-dream existential crisis: What’s the point of any of this? Why keep going?

When I could speak again, I couldn’t stop.

I got to work. I taught myself how to sing, produce, mix, and master. I pulled old songs out of notebooks and gave them new life. I built instruments to better understand human behavior.
I became a one-person creative engine.

💸 Money?

I don’t want your money.
If you feel compelled, donate to a cause that matters to you—or one I support.
If I’m being paid to DJ or do a specific service, cool. Otherwise? Give back to your community. Time, energy, resources—it’s all the same thing.
Selfless service is one of the few noble pursuits left.
