DEMON BLUES
NOW STREAMING EVERYWHERE!
Demon Blues is a concept album, intended to be listened to from start to finish, conveying a human journey that is part fact, part fiction, and part metaphor. Through a somewhat cynical view on what it takes to make it in this world, it reflects on how many are born with the odds stacked against them, leading up to the desperate predicaments some are found in while trying to cheat the failed system, and the overall consequences those negative ideals have. In the end, acceptance is forged through the misery, guiding the lost to the road ahead. The story of Demon Blues is inspired by the Faustian bargain, particularly the works of Robert Johnson, blues legend who is believed to have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads.
The Demon Blues EP is funded by Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia.

The world pushes neurodivergent people to mask, so much so that it becomes part of who they are. They spend so much time suppressing their natural instincts that the mask becomes part of them. It can also be a safety tool. If a neurodivergent person lives in an environment where it’s not safe to stand out or where they will not receive support, then it’s often significantly safer to mask all the time.
But masking can do long-term damage to identity, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and independence. Masking means putting up with behaviors and situations you find distressing, acting in ways that feel unnatural, and constantly draining your mental battery so you don’t draw attention to yourself. Whether it’s for safety or simply because it’s easier, masking comes at a high cost.
