Fund a Burning Man show by RIDL (my little bro!)

Hello family and friends!

Most of you know my brother Ali ("Alex", "Riddle", "RIDL" ) and have likely been witness to his journey with music throughout his life. If you don't know him personally, you know him because I can't shut up about how talented he is!!! Music has always been his passion and in 2022 he moved to Portland to make those dreams a reality.

Along with the opening of his own recording studio, he has been expanding his professional experience with several well known artists. His grind is paying off, and this year he was asked to perform at Burning Man! This is a unique opportunity to share the stage with festival musicians and intoxicate the crowd with his musical genius.

With less than 2 weeks till Burning Man he is in crunch mode! Burning Man requires ticket and camp fees, a camper for over a week in the desert, as well as all the supplies needed to last that long. If you've ever been, you know what a huge task (and gift!) this is.

While he would never ask for this support himself, I believe in the power and love of the community and the importance of the arts. If you've ever listened to one of his tracks, heard him play live, talked to him about his passion, or are feeling like paying it forward... send a couple bucks his way, tell your friends, and share the go fund me.

About the Artist:

"The Dr. Moreau of dance music, creator of grotesque and beautiful sonic hybrids. Relentlessly stitching together styles and sounds like a mad scientist, bending genres and defying expectations. Maxwell Cutty draws on his eclectic musical background and influences to craft music that has been described as “seriously intoxicating and powerful”. Never one to shy away from the weird and surreal, his compositions are awash with “trippy and wonky elements” combined with ever present pulsing bass and driving drums. They leave you hooked, and maybe feeling just a little bit unhinged. Maxwell Cutty hails from Oakland but is currently exploring the woods and sounds in Portland OR."

"My journey in the world of sound started as a child, collecting noise makers, banging on pots and pans, and endlessly fascinated by anything that produced a sound. At an early age, I was sat down in front of a piano to begin my path towards life as an instrumentalist. That path ultimately led me through years of study and performing all kinds of music from Jazz to Rock, Brazilian music, Hip Hop, Soul and beyond.

At a certain point, as happens to many young musicians, I was faced with the daunting task of trying to record the music we so loved playing. Born out of this necessity, I dove headfirst into the world of recorded sound and found a new universe waiting to be revealed.

A desire for hands on learning led me to the San Francisco State University Music and Recording Industry program, where I had the opportunity to deepen my skills and understanding, and to ultimately find mentorship from a Grammy winning engineer and producer, along with a job in a studio, where I learned the ropes of working in a professional environment.

For the next decade I worked tirelessly, gathering experience and honing my skills in a broad variety of genres and engineering disciplines, working with artists to achieve their creative visions and beyond. " - RIDL
