 I’m a rising artist who is currently making something from absolutely nothing. My songs are the expression of a man torn by identity, of an introvert trying to express himself in a crowd. My past, my pain, my struggle is all put into my lyrics and these words are my soul. I'm here to heal hearts and to help minds navigate this great twisted mess we call life. Welcome to the universe of Paintedblvck.
