Bliss

I make creative hip hop records. I write, perform and travel. When I was born I was 90% def, I had to use ear tubes and take speech classes as a child to learn how to talk. Now that I'm older it feels amazing to be making music and doing what I love. I have released 3 solo albums as well as projects in the past with the conscious/political rap group Kritical Kontact, the satirical hip hop duo Modern Gentlemen and the trippy-experiemental Bliss & Sitter.

I have toured all over the country multiple times and done more shows then I can remember, playing in every state.. except a few (Alabama, Mississippi and a few others) Weither improv freestyling at chairty events for the National Kidney Foundation or rocking packed crowds of drunken college kids, my high energy live shows are consistant. I sometimes rap about thought provoking and conspiratorial topics. I used to be a battle rapper, then I was a political activist rapper. Now days I just want to make music that makes people feel good. Thru out the early 2000?s I helped establish the indie hip hop scene in Minnesota and the midwest. I'm originally from Duluth (North of Minneapolis, the largest metropolitan city on Lake Superior and the place Bob Dylan was raised) the cities beautiful landscape and blooming music/art scene enhanced my creative process and also helped form my early years of finding and developing my own style turning me into the artist I have become

I was a regular in the mc battle circuits back in the Scribble Jam days.. having a decent showing at the finals in Cincinnati in 2007. I later gave up on battling to focus on making albums and touring. Over the years I've been lucky enough to perform with some of the best names in Indie hip hop, folk, and pop.

We completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to release my last project and gave out thousands of free cds.
