Biography

Dr. Failure in the studio working on White (May 28, 2019)

Born July 17, 2000, Dr. Failure is a young noise musician from Oxford, Mississippi. He's involved in several other genres, like rock and stuff, but as a soloist, he's a noise artist. He started doing noise in 2017 shortly after attending a noise show in Oxford, in late 2016, performed by SICKGRRL, which sparked his interest in not only becoming a fan of the genre, but becoming a creator as well. In late January, early February 2017, he started creating videos and tracks of single-take, improvisational guitar jams which was his "start" in the noise world. In July 2017, on his 17th birthday, he released his debut noise album The Basement Above, which was done only with generated audio on Audacity and some filter play. Between July 2017 and January 2018, he was still doing guitar jams with one "noise remix" album as an exception, Highway 666- The Devil's Noise. In January 2018, he started using a Rockville RPM109 mixer, and used no-input mixing as a method of doing noise, and this, for the most part, put an end to the days of improvisational guitar jams. Since, he's been a frequent publisher on Bandcamp.

In 2018, Dr. Failure started developing an interest towards rap and wanted to dabble with it a bit. Initially, he wrote a political rap about oppression in America, and how terrible America is in comparison to the rest of the world, and that sort of emotion. With that, he asked around if anyone knew a beat maker for him to rap over, but didn't know anyone, so he had to hold off for a bit. In late 2019, Dr. Failure was adamant on producing trap beats to rap over, however decided to cool off with the heavy politics and make it more about his personal experiences that more people could relate to. He found a free DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) called "Cakewalk", and started dabbling with that. After a day of working with Cakewalk, he decided he wanted to make an album to see how it would go, and said that if it goes well, he might make a second one. For this, he made a SoundCloud profile to establish himself as an artist in the rap scene.

In 2020, Dr. Failure wanted to venture to even more genres and, while joining a band called "The Mannequins" in mid-2019, the bass player wanted to join Dr. Failure in a couple of side projects, "MARYSKVNT", a Grindcore duo, and "Vitaphobics Anonymous", a Stoner Doom Metal duo. As well, Dr. Failure wanted to dabble in folk punk under "$0 Life Insurance Policy". Dr. Failure still holds a high interest and respect for harsh noise, but does not want to be limited to that one genre, as mentioned in this tweet on February 14, 2020.
