Welcome to my sight
YouTuber, Nerd, Sound Guy, Artist, Writer, Philosopher
After hours, I contemplate life, mix music, or make YouTube content about mental health.
I believe in the power of sharing my lived experience of psychosis to make videos which raise awareness, counter stigma, and ease those suffering in silence.

At that time, I authored a single, peer reviewed scholarly article, which my VIU facilitator encouraged:

Listen to nerBeater music in the genres of Hard Ambient / EDM / Trip Hop:
