Music you can vibe to.
From a young age I always loved music. I grew up on classic rock and metal. But my true passion for music was for electronic music. When I was around 9 years old, Blade (starring Wesley Snipes) had started airing on cable TV. The very first scene in the underground warehouse rave blasting techno had me hooked at first hearing the “4 on the floor” kick with distorted basses used as leads instead of background fillers. From then on, I always kept a look out for the music but I never knew where to find it.
When I turned 14, I went to my first rave in Denver Colorado. I saw Deadmau5 with a number of artists opening for him. The scene was bizarre to me and I didn't understand why everyone dressed so weird and everyone had some kind of light toy they were playing with. Fish-nets and fuzzy jackets were everywhere. I felt extremely out of place... but no one judged me. They all were friendly and gave me a warm welcome. Then the music kicked in and I forgot all about those pointless troubles. It was a good time.
By my senior year of high school, I was a captain on my school football team but I was by no means popular. No one knew who I was even though they'd see my face on the football field every Friday. No one talked to me. They constantly avoided me actually. But since I was a captain on the team, I got to do things my way every once in a while. So for after-school off-season training with the team... I would connect my phone to the stereo in the gym and blast all the electronic music I had that could get our blood pumping. Nero, Skrillex, Deorro, Avicii, etc. Any song with a beat that made you want to move. I didn't care if the team didn't like it. I did. And it boosted my performance. But after a while... my teammates started to ask me to play more of the music I listen to in the gym even during school-hours. I could see it growing on them and it also made them want to push harder. Our team made it pretty far that year. But we fell short of the championship by one game, losing in the semifinals.
By the time I graduated, I was already on a bus to Marine Corp bootcamp. I felt that with as talented I was in athletics, I could maybe make a career in the military with it. At first, it was everything I had hoped it would be. I moved up the ranks quickly with hard work and dedication. But by the time I hit the fleet... that ended. I was already the same rank as my senior marines and they didn't like that. So they cut me down at every chance they got to make themselves look better and stay “above” me. Fortunately I caught a lucky break and was stationed in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. So it was too bad. But after 4 years of that, I had to leave. However, before I got out, I needed to keep my sanity somehow. So I would go to downtown Waikiki and find a small rave to just let loose every weekend. It helped. A lot. My passion for the music kept me going through that hell of an enlistment. In fact a lot of my peers who were feeling the same way I did asked how I stayed motivated and happy with all the shit we dealt with. So I told them I drown myself in the music. To my surprise, they asked if they could come with me. Next thing you know... they are all just as happy and motivated as I am. I think it was in that moment I realized I wanted to make music instead of just listening to it. The power that the music had over people's mentality just continued to blow me away. I realized wanted to be a part of it.
In 2015 when I got out of the Marines, I started messing around with DAWs and music software trying to replicate what I was hearing in my head. This proved to be nearly impossible. But I never gave up on it. I decided to use my GI Bill and school benefits from my military experience to learn as much as possible about music and how to make it. I started studying audio production and sound design taught by people in the industry and experienced professionals. Though none of what they taught helped me learn how to make ELECTRONIC music... but it did teach me what to research on my own time in order to make what I wanted to make. After nearly ten years of constsnt hard work, I'm about to release my first album and perform shows all over my home state of Colorado where this all began. And I couldn't be more greatful.

Artist Statement
“Music is the most accessible bridge to the spirit. In modern music, that connection to spirit is becoming less and less apparent. I want my art to be a rekindling of that spark between the physical and spiritual. Something everyone can resonate with if they simply close their eyes and listen closely. Something people get lost in as if their soul is going on a journey. An escape from the world and all its troubles if only for a moment. This can be done in many ways with music but for me if I can produce sounds and melodies that have both a meditative and hypnotic feeling while also giving the listener a meaningful and pleasurable experience, I feel I will have already succeeded.” - Klova
