Being an Independent Artist these days is not an easy lifestyle. There are people who are in this industry to ONLY MAKE MONEY AND SPEND MONEY. If that's what your all about, fuck you! That is not what I'm ALL ABOUT, so if ya bring your materialistic bullsh*t to the stage, I'm a CALL YOU OUT!

===========================================================

I have been touring as part of The Outspoken Wordsmiths and

The Soapbox Poets since 2006,  and have played over 200 shows 

in more than 40 cities on Turtle Island (since 2006).

You can find Blank Space on 14 different albums / compilations

that have been released since 2004. 

I've independently distributed over 2000 CDs myself. 

From the Atlantic Ocean,

but currently living on the West Coast Salish Territories,

in a place also known as Victoria, BC.

 With the help of my friends, I organize tours/events/shows.

===========================================================

The relations I've built with friends, family and fans are my security. You sponsor and fund all of the music that I create, and the tours that I go on. I don't feel safer cause of something in a box somewhere, or a machine I 'own' in a garage somewhere. I feel safer because of knowing you as individuals in this crazy world.

If your reading this, or sending me messages THANK YOU! you keep me grounded. And those supportin' by buying merch, coming out to shows, or housing us as we come though your city THANK YOU! you help keep me alive; you're my bread 'n butter.

ALSO: I travel all of the time, so if you wanna visit from me, please let me know. And if you can book me for a show please CONTACT ME @ 3.14blank.space AT gmail DOT com.
