Self Advocate is man of many hats from writer, producer, designer, pupil, poet, wonderer, frantic romantic, magician, and all around connoisseur of life, passion, love, rhythm, giving, sky & rain, sun and change, storms and stomping puddles...
A doucer of the ever infinite heart
Streching from the days of my initial sparks lighting up with the crew mental prophets where i gained much of my appreciation for the written word and culture as a whole, to Ip where i learned a great deal into matters of the heart and spirit, my creativ~i~tree has branched off into a number of directions some of which consist of
"Venture Capitalists"
with my right hand honcho Welsed, to my new found homies of the TSF family, to the
"Creativores"
w/ my brother Joey & Ray sanchez, i love, live, breath for the moment & its preservation. I've been at this for a minute now and ain't leaving for nathan....Started with the pen, progressed into and audio fixation, and led to what is currently my life's driving force pt. blank, nuff said the rest is open ended
Influences
Any and everything this side of the crab nebulous. From Lamert to Cedar park and all other momuments inbetween, every genre has something to offer. I've been digging for a
while now and can't seem to get enough of it, always searching for the perfect beat & lyrics to match like animal chin to the perfect spot. I am mostly inspired by those i come in contact with for they seem to bolster the kind of drive that feeds off each others passion and creativity....you know the gig Slackers don't Sleep...They sheep herders...
freestyling, graff & art in general have also have an enormous impact in soiling my character and appreciation. From the Fellowship to Cve, Phase 2 to Mear one, Adrian Lee, Robbie Canal, Big Foot, just to name a few. Beauty and Color in all its glorious shapes and sizes have all helped me see that this world benifits greatly from the overhaul of the null and void, dull and grey atmosphere that calls itself Owner, landlord, judge & jury, say so Etc. especially in a day and age when livening up the neighborhood is discouraged...SHOUTS OUT to all breakers, graff writers, freestylers, beat boxers, ochestraters, sooth sayers, earthquakers, Dj's, poets, activists, raptivists, captivists, out there your inspiration is endless...keep shining !!!!
Sounds Like
The likes of these types don't ever really want to take things for what they really are just monkey around seeing with out looking listening without hearing, and speaking without saying nothing....(xebache's at heart)
But really though if i had to try an hint at a jist of my style i'd summize with an everlasting gobstopper for your mind & heart to chew on, flavor is limitless always building, always evolving, a diversly uplifting high plains drifting type audio boost...get yours today
come party with the Understudies this halloween you won't be sorry

If i had to describe and give a sense of my intent and where abouts within regards to my writing and music i would have to say Self Advocate is a creativore at heart. Questing this plain in search of a more sustainable domain to suite my expression. Whether its through instrumentation or lyrication, both embody the spirit of this conduit and the limitless hieghts of his imagination. I try my best at equating this here life on a whole both tangible and intangible, soul to mind to body to mandible and back again. I strive and struggle to further piece this puzzle intact. Hear my ode to odds insurrmountable goes a little something like this: "I want to reach the unthinkable, link the impossible, sink the unstoppable, jump start the in-operable"
Despite what the forcast exclaims i take the good with the bitter, the harsh with the harsher & seek to make something positive out of the everchanging tempests fits whether above or down below here's to a paralleling free flow, for in its ebb we can transcend space and time and boldy extend to no end our bond and its forthcommings. Limitless....possibilities infinite......and thats for sho' true, thanks for passing through ~ Self
Here's a taste of a few of the video's i've been able to be a part of creating along the way so far....enjoy

Sup J, I was just checkin in to see if you had found any other ..hings. Tomorrow might just be the day.. If not, have a wonderful Halloween and I'll see you, hopefully, soon.
"ribbons with blaze" that's a tight track bro! love the switch off, and that chick rips shit apart with that opening verse! I got some of those beats you wanted: "what do know about death"... I'm down to collab on this one, having battled cancer and shit, so this track really means a lot to me. Also "don't let it get you down" that one is open for some flows. I think you said you wrote a hook for it? Hit me up this week cuz I got an open house and it's the perfect time to get some stuff recorded. That's sick your going to expressions bro, I got some questions about that school too. hope to hear from you and stay up man -mike
