Biography

Dr. Failure in the studio working on White (May 28, 2019)

Born July 17, 2000, Dr. Failure is an artist of many sorts from Oxford, Mississippi. They're involved in multiple genres, but noise has struck a chord in their heart. They started doing noise in 2017 shortly after attending a noise show in Oxford, in late 2016, performed by SICKGRRL, which sparked their interest in not only becoming a fan of the genre, but becoming a creator as well. In late January, early February 2017, they started creating videos and tracks of single-take, improvisational guitar jams which was their "start" in the noise world. In July 2017, on their 17th birthday, they released their debut noise album The Basement Above, which was done only with generated white noise and other default tones available on Audacity, with some filter play added on top to make it unique. Between July 2017 and January 2018, they were still doing guitar jams with one "noise remix" album as an exception, Highway 666- The Devil's Noise. In January 2018, they started using a Rockville RPM109 mixer, and used no-input mixing as a method of doing noise, and this, for the most part, put an end to the days of improvisational guitar jams. Since, they've been a frequent publisher on Bandcamp.

In 2020, Dr. Failure wanted to venture to even more genres and, while joining a band called "The Mannequins" in mid-2019, the bass player wanted to join Dr. Failure in "Vitaphobics Anonymous", a Stoner Doom Metal duo. The duo had planned several other projects together, such as MARYSKVNT and Vitaphobics Anonymous, but by 2021, Dr. Failure left Mississippi for Tennessee, and neither the Mannequins, Vitaphobics Anonymous, nor MARYSKVNT had any demo material produced by that time.

Between 2021 - 2023, Dr. Failure spent most of their time working to pay bills, abandoning their artistic passions to make ends meet, and fell out of touch with the artist within. After living like this for a while, it eventually led to a mental breakdown that served as fuel for them to power through the struggles to continue making art, realizing that this world needs more human-made art, and life would be rather purposeless if they didn't create shit. In 2023, they resumed their studies to study Commercial Songwriting at MTSU alongside making efforts to get more involved in making music and connecting with the local scene, which has led to a brighter mental outlook on life.

In 2024, they met a few musicians over the summer and formed Necromantic, (insert details later as they come).
