A native son of the Pacific Northwest, Alexipharmic had a love for life and music since his first day out of the womb. Musically influenced by everything under the sun, from Hendrix to Mahler and Davis to Rakim, Alexipharmic spent his childhood in the libraries of the schools where his mother taught, learning about Buddhism and the ongoing struggles of Rwanda, the Sudanese, and the American homeless. This upbringing molded a man called to duty: to empower, inform, and be a voice for the voiceless. When Alexipharmic first heard 2Pac’s “Keep Ya Head Up” at age nine, he knew what form his mission would take: using music to help make a better world.
Shortly after, piles of spiral-bound notebooks filled with lyrics littered the floor of both of his parent’s homes. Turning in homework at school was difficult and awkward, as almost every piece of paper had hasty lyrics or undelivered love notes scribbled on the back. A few years later, Alexipharmic began recording his songs over beats given to him free of charge, using an old camcorder with the lens cap on and rapping in an old coat closet. Out of these early sessions came a library of songs.
While in college, Alexipharmic recorded his first-full length album at age 20. It was his first time in a studio, and he slept on the studio’s floor for two weeks to save money to record the album. The budget for the recording was $75. The product of these sessions was Run, a powerful 14-track album that served as a window to Alexipharmic’s growing world view.

American Beauty is probably one of the most truth-filled albums released yet. Think Neil Young's "Greendale" and Arlo Guthrie "Alice's Restaurant" meets hip-hop. Effing stellar. Peace.
