I'm not posting to post. I'm building a feature film and an accompanying album, independently owned. For the people, by the people.

I'm opening 100 Founding Patron places for the people who want to be part of it from the start.

I'm a business and an artist.

Independent art doesn't get made by waiting for permission. It gets made by people who decide it should exist and back it early.

I make films, theatre and music, on my own terms. The new music is written from a blank page with producer Simone Casarotti, and you can watch those sessions on my channels.

The film is next. Founding Patrons fund the work directly, so it stays true to the story and stays owned by the people who made it.

Your name goes in the credits. You hear everything first. You're in the room when it premieres.
