On the day that you were born the Angles got together and God decided to create another dream come true. Please pass the tender young age of 33. WHAT a truly violent age for him to be born in, but maybe, just maybe his music could change the EVIL HEARTS OF MANKIND. Pray on this...it could work.!!!

[@fkeyzuwu]

@@quentinsorrentino9857 Basically he is very good at music, can sing really precisly even notes that are a single few hz apart(not normal western music notes) He has insane knowledge of music theory and can apply it to get these harmonies. You dont have to know what all he does works but if you are already used to hearing more complex music his music probably blows that out the water, atleast in terms of raw harmony. Im pretty sure not a lot of people actually like him for understanding what it is but for just it being different and impressive. Its not that easy to create all these with barely even having a refrence
