VICEVOIDS AKA MARKUS NYLUND
(WRITTEN BY IMAGINARY PUBLICIST)
Born in Finland, 1983.
At age 6 says fuck this, packs bags and travels world for 30 years (1989-2019). Picks up all kinds of crazy skills and beliefs along the way. Has experiences that change his life. Also has experiences that don’t. Never quite understands why people latch onto political ideologies, religions, and fixed personalities. Feels best when creating alone.
Starts writing songs at age 15 and feels like the greatest music maker alive. Takes twenty years to see how wrong that was and has no idea that it would take another twenty years before really getting somewhere with his art. Commits to pursuing mastery rather than some brainwashed arbitrary idea of success.
Launches VICEVOIDS on September 1st, 2020 during global pandemic, personal heartbreak, financial ruin and mental breakdown. Good timing with the world travel, eh? Struggles to find audience initially for his strange music but friends convince him to not give up and to just keep going no matter what. Listens to them. Struggles more. But knows deeply that this work is incredibly important and that he has been chosen by the Gods.
Determined to get all this music out of system once and for all. Then can get to work on writing novels in a cabin somewhere in the mountains with a good woman. But there’s a lot of songs and more keep coming! Sees how it goes. Grows beard. Does best every day. Trains hard. Prioritizes focus. Sometimes fails. Hope remains. Fire burns.
Corporate/bipolar version:
Needs money! Hates marketing! Contradicts himself!
FUCK YOU. Thanks. Sorry.
