my name is jackson vade. i am a 17 year old musician based in the small midwestern city of elkhart, indiana.

i play guitar, saxophone, and keyboard instruments and have made music since i was 13.

my music isn’t well made. i only spend a couple hours on each song. i only have a fundamental understanding of mastering and what audio effects do.

i also don’t plan on making music when i’m older. i only make it now because it makes me feel accomplished, but it isn’t my dream or anything.

that being said, my music is a reflection of my experiences and my life. it shows my growth and things i’ve been through. in fact, i find myself appreciating this aspect of art more often than the artwork itself.

so i believe it is important to preserve art in this way.
