"When toneDAMAGE talks about music, he speaks like someone translating a foreign script into a new alphabet — except the alphabet is vibration, light and texture."

I make music for all the senses. Profoundly Deaf since 2019; hacking and rocking since the 80s.
Rooted in west-coast bass, east-coast hardcore, jazz fusion, and hip-hop, my music explores the edges of convention; detuning, degrading, and distorting tones in unconventional ways. I like my music raw, emotional, and loud.
Damage isn’t necessarily destructive. It’s an opportunity for creativity outside the biases to which our brains become accustomed.
Released on BWRMBEATS, the Portland-based label that champions marginalized and underrepresented artists.
