I’m an enby 1st gen Sri Lankan livin’ in America, and for the last two decades, I’ve dabbled in almost every facet of the Art Making™ process. I’m a self-taught performer and artist. I started off as a video game music remixer, before branching into nerdcore hip hop. Since 2009, I’ve released five self-produced albums, and performed and toured with multiple bands (including Picnibus). As a theater performer, I starred in and wrote the music for Pointless Theatre’s d0t:, and have performed on stage with The Arcanists (The Tarot Reading), We Happy Few (Frankenstein), Dog and Pony (an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet for the deafblind), and more! I’m also a designer and technician, with a focus in sound/composition. I spent five years on the production team at 930 Club setting up stages and making the lights dance at 700+ concerts. Since then, I’ve worked as a lighting designer, sound engineer, composer, music director, and technical performer!

As an artist, I work to imbue my creations with humanism, absurdity, satire, wimmelbilderbuch, pastiche, postmodernism, and campy, pop art schlock. As a maker, I value well-roundedness, empathy, collaboration, and community. I am always working towards an unobtainable perfection of said values.
