Referencing a vast array of pop culture mediums, his sounds are collected and layered until, like light fragmenting through a crystal prism, they enter the aural sphere; chaos ensues.

This is music made to … Continue reading Ribongia – Play My Hits

Cash Krzma’s has been deemed a lyricist to watch out for in 2013.

Expect a dose of strong, intelligent lyrics depicting life seen though the eyes of a semi – vagabond, twenty something social misfit.
