ART A Reasonable Truth: Multi-genre entertaining and inspirational singer/rapper with jams and colorful thematic songs.

IDGA$ aka I Don't Give A Shit aka I Do Give A Shit is a song about how people don't care about other people, how people will ignore your posts or promotions as you continue to grow as a person and artist. The song also reflects how people just care about money over collaboration and how it rules them over anything else. The randomness and scroll culture has affected people, especially in today's world, to not support people they know, not subscribing, liking or commenting as you keep growing your brand.

This song also is about today's world and America, how so many people just don't give a shit with all the major issues we face and continue to just live their lives and not care about what's going on around them.

IDGA$ The Remixes and IDGA$ The Remixes Pt. 2 (coming soon) explore other artists' take on it and includes dance, house, rock, jazz, nu-metal, trap, hip-hop and orchestral.

The song itself cost several sessions and mix and mastering at 2 different studios and I paid for a remix from ASTROLION in India to do the Prism Remix. Roughly all together around $500 around 2017 before the remix in 2026.

Where it started

My first song was recorded in 2008 in college for my third short film "Duali†y" called Within. Writing songs since kid, I was mainly working on parody songs at the time. I then recorded Mind ArC for my 4th short "COEXIST". From there, I began working with Sonanze on my first album, that is now going to be my next project to finish in the music world.

My debut 11 track album Centerpiece is a spectacle journey of an artist making their way through the industry and is a concept album with several music videos shot and was originally planned to be a visual album movie.

With 13 short films and a feature in post, my company Trippy Tran Films continues to build networks and collaborate with artists for our movies or with myself as an artist.

The come-up

The road here wasn't clean. My biggest thing to overcome is not listening to negative comments, haters and not being upset at being ignored when promoting it to people I know. It's challenging to put yourself out there, perform live and save to pay for all studio time, or even make time at your home studio, so the naysayers have no idea what work it takes and just want to type behind a screen or are jealous you are doing it.

When I released my first music video in 2012 on the day the Mayan calendar ended 12/21/12 entitled "Unfreeze (2012)/Shimmer of Longing", people I never knew blasted me in the comments and I wasn't sure how they even discovered me. My positive message apparently went over their heads and they attacked me for anything and everything, even if it wasn't true or purely subjective.

Keep going, believe in yourself, believe in the ability of others and remember why you are doing what you are doing as an artist and what it can offer your legacy and mark on the world.

What they want you to know

I want new fans to feel the moments of my song, to feel inspired, to dance, rock out, share light and joy and have a good feel with the music. The people who made the beats and instrumentals are super talented and I want to honor their AmaZinG sound by making strong lyrics to showcase why I fell in love with their music and bring that to a broader scale.

What's next

I just performed a show in LA, so I am now going to re-release the IDGA$ Music Video with the Prism Remix, make a lyric video for the Nu-Metal Beatdown Remix. I am also writing more for my 2nd album and planning another music video shoot soon! Stay tuned and stay artful! Stay trippy!
