This is the music video for my song called “All Alone”. This track and the “All Alone” album that it’s on were inspired by my loneliness and isolation getting the better of me over the past year or so. I’ve always operated on my own and used my creative outlets to distract me from how alone I am, but lately I’ve had a harder time doing that. Big shout out to my friend SHELLZ for operating the camera and letting me film at his place of work. Song and album are available on all online streaming services. If you like it, please share it!!

Pressure & Time is Now Available!
My latest album “Pressure & Time” is now available in ALL digital music stores including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Apple Music. Please get your copy today! I themed the title and cover around one of my all-time favorite movies, The Shawshank Redemption. My quest to blow up in the music world is much like Andy’s quest to escape prison. It just takes pressure and time. I’ve put in so many years to this music that I have a hard time recounting how many songs I’ve created. I guess I’ve always just hoped that applying pressure over time would lead me to success, instead of relying on connections and payoffs to make it happen. I’m very proud of this album and I hope you’ll give it a listen or even purchase a copy! Thanks everyone.

Welcome To The Presentation Remastered
Well I can’t believe it’s been five years since my most successful song blew up here in the B/CS. In honor of the occasion I decided to give the track a much needed overhaul. Back when I recorded the original I was using old software, a different beat making approach and I had a different delivery in my voice (which I can’t remember why I was doing that). With all that being the case, I’ve wanted to give the song a makeover for a while now. I have remixed the beat, re-recorded the vocals and remastered the track. Download the FREE mp3 on the Free Music Archive page here on the site, or buy it in any of the digital music stores (iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, etc.) if you want to help support the cost of making music. This song will also be on the upcoming “greatest hits” project I’m putting together.
I hope you enjoy this version even more than the original!

Music Video – Heels
This music video would’ve been so much better if I had some ladies willing to be in it! I originally had some pretty cool ideas for making a sexy video, but I don’t know anyone that would’ve volunteered. Plus I’m not sure I would’ve been able to keep a straight face for my scenes, haha. Instead I decided to do a lyric video, which is a very tedious process. I was hoping to make it have cool fonts and movement like you see in professional lyric videos, but I just don’t have the capability. I was very happy with how it turned out though. Huge thanks to my friend Katy for loaning me a pair of her high heels (btw I used the magic of Photoshop to change them from brown to bright red) to use. I came up with the smoke effect idea at the last minute and I love how it looks.
This song was inspired by all the sexy ladies I’ve seen dancing on the runway. I wanted to make something I could picture them strutting out to in the clubs. If you or anyone you know are dancers and need some music to work to, please use this song! Here’s to all those fine women in nothing but h-e-e-l-s…
Music Video – Tell Me Something
This is the music video for “Tell Me Something (That I Don’t Know)” from Looking Out For Texas. The song is about the frustration of a daily routine that seems to never change and how I’d desperately love to shake things up. I’m sure you can relate in some way. I’m grateful to have a job of course, but I’m dying for more than just sitting in an office everyday until I’m 65.
The music video was a lot of fun to shoot. I knew from the start that I wanted to find some payphones to use for my verses, it just seemed like that would be a random, funny and surprising prop to use in 2015. Since I was going the payphone route, I decided to go to Goodwill and find an old school cordless phone as well, I found one for $4. Everything else was made up on the fly as usual.
I went over to SHELLZ’s house to film his scenes and employ him to be the cameraman for mine, but since Boss Taylor and Anthony were over there I asked them to be in the video as well. Originally there would’ve been no action, but we came up with the head slam scene on the spot (in typical guerrilla video shooting fashion). The lighting in that dining area was great. Just lucked out on that. Also, I planned to shoot each verse at a different payphone and have me progressively moving across the city to SHELLZ, but unfortunately one of the three was too dark (which you can see in the outtakes at the end) so I scrapped that one. With that being the case I decided to just mix the best shots from the remaining two payphones throughout the three verses. The lighting was great for those, so I sacrificed continuity for the sake of good footage.
By the way if you’re curious, cops tend to drive by slowly and more than once when they see three guys at a payphone of a closed gas station on Villa Maria at 4am. I really hope you enjoy the video (don’t take it too seriously), but more importantly I hope you enjoy the song! Get the album if you haven’t already.
Thanks,
Hush
