Tae Zu

The approach to art a creative person takes is evident in their work. A martial artist would practice their art and would make a habit out of being a good steward of the art they hold dear. Tae Zu is that artist, that practitioner and that person who makes music with a dedication to its philosophies.

Casto

El Paso, Texas is a fraught border town with a mix of artists fighting for the limelight, while fights over the shine exist, other artists are quietly amassing solid catalogs and perfecting their craft. This is that artist, this is Casto.
