Tell us about you:
My artist name is carchar0d0n and i am from Pennsylvania. This name that i chose is actually based a genus of sharks. This resembles the aggression and peace that these animals have and how my feelings relate to this. My music is an overall way of surfacing all these emotions that normally bottle up inside in the same way that a shark breaches the surface of the ocean. I love both creating and listening to music because i feel its a great way to express unfiltered emotion as well as be creative and log fragments of your life.
One thing that makes me different as an artist is how i combine genres and sounds. I make everything ranging from pop punk love songs to screamo music. This is a great way to express how you feel a wide variety of emotions in life. It just wouldn’t be the same if i only stuck with one of these sounds. I want an escape for when i am angry at the world as well as a place to express feelings such as love, sadness, exhaustion, etc. In five years i see myself a much better overall vocalist with much more exposure. Im currently working on improving my singing, rapping, and screaming. Im also working on learning the mixing process.
All of my music is mixed by myself and i definitely think there is an improvement from when i first started. Within five years i believe my music will be a much better product. I also think that my confidence will be at a much better level with the more exposure i get. Once i get to this point i may be able to release music videos and perform live like most other artists. I’ve already come a long way when it comes to being open from when I released my first song “Help”. Ill also be releasing much more music once im out of school and have a space to myself to be able to record more often. In my lifetime i would like to leave behind an impression on people in a similar way that many of the artists I idolize have done for me. I also wish to be able to meet many of the people who have sculpted my life into what it is today.
I would also love to be able to work with these artists eventually, after many years of listening to them. I also want to be an overall good person that people can trust and look up to. I would like to do this all while being straight to the point with my music and not filtering out any negativity. I view music as a drain where you can wash away all the problems you face in life. It’s a form of therapy to be able to take everything bad and turn it into a work of art that i can listen to whenever i feel the way i felt when making it. I feel that i do a good job at bringing angst, exhaustion, sadness, creativity, and love to the surface.
This is something i feel is hard to do in any other way than music. Overall i want to be known as just another someone who managed to put in the work to get to the point they wanted to be. I also want to be known as an idol to many others who feel even the slightest bit subpar. Lastly i wish to prove everyone who’s ever made me feel like a nuisance wrong, and that i was following the path that was true to me all
