Grindcore and death Metal prodigy turned R&B crooner PBAPES has demonstrated himself as being one of the last truly original musical enigmas of the twentieth century. No stranger to controversy and usually reveling in it, his constant contrarianism, flagrant lyrics and unapologetically narcissistic publicity stunts have positioned him as a lawless outsider icon. 
 Known originally for his work with legendary Grindcore acts MDFL, the reformed HEMDALE, death metalers ABRADED, INOCULATION and ABREACTION (and many more), PBAPES real name Patric Pariano earned pedigree in the extreme music scene through extensive touring, his label Aggressively Uninterested (which chronicles his extensive musician output) and his work as a Sound Engineer. But when he began focusing on production and his rap material, his Nietzschean perversity exemplified in his flagrant, anti-PC lyrics and online publicity stunts found him ostracized from the community he was born into, making him an outsider even amongst outsiders. 
 PBAPES went on to release multiple full albums of material, including collaborations with Memphis legend PROJECT PAT, LA-turned Cleveland underground rapper BUTCHA MANE, meme rap superstars PPG and EDM and memetic mastermind INFJ. His influence to the local scenes musicianship as well as marketing style is as ubiquitous as it is fascinating, eliciting highly polarized opinions throughout his extensive tenure as a genuine creative psychopath.
