Have you ever wondered what music would look like if it had a physical form? Would it have swirls and dips, or morph to pointy and jagged edges? I see music as an infinite white hall with buckets of paint placed on the floor. The power and significance of the music would dictate whether if the paint buckets splatter on the wall, creating its identity. This is how I see music , and this is why I love to make it. I want to make something that will tip over those buckets and splash its different hues and shades upon the wall, creating senses that will make people feel joy and accomplishment. My artist name is the Prophet, because I have prophetic visions of what sounds would sound better with or what which words would give power to a message. It's like weather forecasts, but you go with your gut. I am the reigning prince of Chicago (Michael Jordan is the king). I try to insert sounds similar to those of the streets of the Windy City, to pay homage to my birthplace and the people that live inside of it. You can listen to my music, and search for the sounds, but chances are you'll never find them. The sounds are as subtle as the clicking of car keys. I hope when you listen to my music, you can feel the joy I work so hard to instill into the listener's lives.
