I now have two solo studio albums. Huzzahs are in order, yay!

• Hollow Sacrifice - Inspired by a member of a local online forum who normally is someone who speaks up about needing more climate action. But they were all up in arms when gas powered leaf blowers were banned in the community. This album goes into how so many people are willing to speak up about climate action but ultimately unwilling to make the change in their life required to make it happen.
• Chosen - A concept album loosely inspired about depression that I was seeing a number of my friends go through during COVID lock downs.

You can find them on bandcamp: https://ajrussell.bandcamp.com/

@lavishdude, an acoustic alt. duo with my good pal @thinkalto, has two albums out, Leading Off, and Lavish Dude Wants to Battle, where we re-imagine our favourite Dude Tunes as chip tunes. Check it out here! https://lavishdude.com/

What's next? I'm currently working on a rock opera about the growing class divide in society and how the elite is weaponizing social media to placate the masses. This album uses a Greek tragedy structure to its story telling to evoke a feeling of catharsis as our protagonist breaks free but fails to convince anyone else, and falls exhausted back to the warm comfort. Expect to see many songs from it this FAWM!

I'm open to collabs of all sorts! I play many different instruments, sing, write songs, solos, lyrics, instrumentals, fiddle around with synths, do audio engineering things, and all in all look to have a good time with cool people. Yeah, that means you, you're cool too.
