            <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new site! Thank you for stopping by. I am very excited to share with you these brand new bunch of songs.&nbsp;This is the record I&rsquo;ve been longing to make for 3 years. It&rsquo;s totally uncontained, uncensored, and 100% Charlie. Screaming Underground is an Electronic, experimental, indie pop record.</p><br /><p>&nbsp;The past year has been a huge time of transition for me, in business, in art; spiritually, and personally. I&rsquo;ve stopped creating music to &ldquo;please&rdquo; a particular demographic.&nbsp; Now I simply&nbsp;allow what needs to be said BE said. no apologies.</p><br /><p>&nbsp;Over the past year, dealing with money hungry corporate business people, slimy hacks claiming&nbsp; to my have my best interests in mind, and various other philistines I often felt as though I was &ldquo;screaming underground&rdquo;.&nbsp;I was muzzled, muted, lied to, misdirected, and brushed off as being &ldquo;psychotic&rdquo;, &ldquo;too alternative&rdquo; or &ldquo;artsy&rdquo;. &nbsp;I&rsquo;ve cleaned house, literally and sonically. Told those dirt bags to Fuck off!</p><br /><p>&nbsp;The way in which I approach the composition process, executing vocals, and the sounds I select for arrangements has completed changed. Additionally my live performance aesthetic has evolved, serving as a performance art magnification of the musical/lyrical content of my pieces. Many of these songs came out spontaneously and were completed in minutes.&nbsp; Expressing frustrations, anger, and disappoint in the Gay community&rsquo;s majority of watered-down commercial&nbsp; music&nbsp; being spoon fed to the masses &ldquo;I may be hungry but I refuse to eat shit&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>Many of the mainstream gay artists are haphazardly&nbsp;imposing themselves into traditional "diva" icons, flexing their muscles,&nbsp;and claiming originality. It makes me sick how much GARBAGE&nbsp;LOGO spends millions of dollars of air time showcasing.&nbsp; In retaliation to the corporate money machines I have made this release of my new&nbsp;EP a free download. Music should be shared and enjoyed by everyone regardless of if you have a credit card. If WE, the artists, are not&nbsp;receiving a large portion of the profit for the work we've spent money and time creating..then no one should. Certainly not bureautic businessmen.</p><br /><p>I wish to point out the amazing support I've had from a group of talented individuals Including but not limited to the following people:</p><br /><p>1. Mat Heggem from QueerAI</p><br /><p>2. N-The Only Letter in Burlesque</p><br /><p>3. I.R. Marin (who contributed all video &amp; photography)</p><br /><p>4. Grace Alexis</p><br /><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
