aeon grey
From a modest Mid West upbringing, Aeon Grey has been molded by the cracks of a broken family and a selective education system. Ten years of experience and struggle against the stereotypes of popular hip hop culture, as well as the norms to which Iowans are expected to live by, Aeon Grey continues down the path of self discovery. With no interest in greatness, and no delusions of grandeur, Aeon Grey emerges as nothing more but another 80’s baby walking on the broken limbs of humanity with a neuse on his neck, searching for others willing to use the neuse to create a safety net. Grow, build, and create community.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Around 1998 things finally started falling into place. Analog 4-tracks and a microphone led to a lot of experimentation. Over the next 6 years Aeon Grey evolved into a corporate battery. Composing beats in the evening after longs days of writing in a cubicle, the angst grew, the scene of our world changed, and small pieces of truth started floating to the surface. After 7 Releases (MarionetteWorkBench, Primate Curriculum, CheaperthanWar, Dead Meat, Placebo Solitude, Truth of All Evil, Quid Pro Quo) the soul searching and growth continues. the Bananas are rotten and the space monkey's want blood. Let's Eat.
