Album Notes

Passenger is an Austin, Tx based emcee with influences ranging from TV On The Radio to Atmosphere; from Deftones to Sage Francis; from Mars Volta to Cunninlynguists; and everything in between. Born in Massachusetts, Passenger spent most of his younger days growing up in New York and Houston, Tx eventually moving to Austin, Tx in 1996 attending college to try his hand as a sound engineer. During these years, his musical versatility had him playing bass in an alternative rock band, singing in another side project, DJing house, jungle and hip hop music at various venues in Austin. Eventually he became a full time DJ for the reggae/ska/hiphop/punk band, Indofin, which he still remains a member playing shows around the country. His love for hip hop provoked him to purchase an MPC and has been making beats and rhyming ever since.

"The Brick In A Glass House" is the debut album from Passenger. The album contains production from Nozebleed, Lazerbeak (Doomtree), amongst others as well as his own and has guests from Austin's own Emcee, Justin Cook, Weezel, as well as a few others. Currently, you can find him playing shows around the Austin area and will begin to venture out to other Texas cities starting this Spring.
