How a Musician with MS Strengthened His Vision

For over two decades, I’ve poured my heart into my music and built a name for myself within the Juggalo community. Life on the road was my world—performing, connecting with fans, and living the dream of an underground musician. But ten years ago, everything changed when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). As a musician with MS, I’ve faced challenges I never imagined, but they’ve also helped me find a new vision for my life.

Adapting to Life as a Musician with MS

Multiple sclerosis is unpredictable. Some days, I feel strong enough to take on the world. Other days, even getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. The toughest part wasn’t the physical challenges—it was letting go of the life I used to know. Touring and performing defined me, and losing that felt like losing myself.

But MS taught me something important: I’m more than a performer. I’m a musician with MS, but I’m also a creator, an artist, and someone who finds strength in adversity. Even though I couldn’t tour, I could still write music, design clothing, and connect with my fans in new ways. My wheelchair became a symbol of my strength, not my limitations, and my home became my studio—a place where I could keep building and sharing my vision.

How MS Reshaped My Creativity

MS didn’t take my creativity—it reshaped it. My music has always been a reflection of my life, and now, it carries the weight of my struggle and resilience. Songs that once hyped up crowds now tell stories of perseverance, and I hope they inspire others to find their own strength.

This same energy carries into my streetwear brand. Every design I create speaks to individuality and strength—values I’ve leaned on throughout my journey. My clothes aren’t just for Juggalos; they’re for anyone who refuses to let life’s challenges define them. As a musician with MS, I channel my struggles into designs that inspire people to keep pushing forward.

Finding Strength in Community

The Juggalo community has been a source of constant support. Even though I can’t tour, the connection I feel with fans is stronger than ever. Their stories of overcoming struggles, living authentically, and embracing who they are inspire me to keep going.

Through my music, my streetwear, and my story, I hope to give back to this community that’s given me so much. Living as a musician with MS hasn’t been easy, but it’s shown me that strength doesn’t come from what you can do—it comes from how you rise when life knocks you down.

Keep Rolling Forward

Being homebound doesn’t mean being sidelined. It means finding new ways to share my vision and keep creating. MS changed my life, but it also sharpened my purpose: to inspire others through music, fashion, and my story.

If you’ve faced challenges of your own, know that you’re not alone. Strength comes in many forms, and no matter what life throws at you, there’s always a way to keep rolling forward.
