After years of being stifled by perfectionism an explosion of creativity was unleashed. A true life changing breakthrough in approach and mentality was found. Now with an updated and more vibrant sound he looks to speak on the world at large, vague and lingering feelings and the moments in life that challenge our core identity.

Take a trip through the evolution of Cipher's music.

Cipher's First Project

Back for Revenge (2005)

First jump into digital recording. This album was done using the memorization technique used by Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West. A testing of waters. The beginning.

The next Improvement

New and Improved Mixtape (2008)

A concise display of sharpened skills and concepts. Trying to push the boundaries of what I was able to accomplish. An ode to my love for hip-hop and that mid 2000's production style.

A dedication to music

Music Is Life (2011)

A more experimental project with more electronic sounding music. My passion for music was at an all time high. The production and lyrics for the songs definitely reflected the times of the early 2010's. Some remixes were added as bonus tracks as well.

An impactful statement

Soul Searching (2013)

Duality focused concept album. Each song has a counterpart opposite of it throughout the tracks. One of my most notable projects and rollouts due to music videos/release party and performance. At this time in life I was truly Soul Searching, dealing with unforeseen hardships and finding a new path.

Growth culminated

Going Thru It (2023)

Rebuilding yourself. Going through loss and the realization of how alone life can be. Riding it all out through waves of uncertainty. Embracing the imperfections. Realizing you have to literally go through it to get to where you want to be.
