Where did the idea for Nightwalk come from?
Around 2017, I was in a rough place. I remember constantly taking walks at 2 or 3 am, just to clear my mind and stay above water. That’s where I rediscovered my love for music, listening to Exogenesis from Muse.
A Creative Outlet
Original Music
A massive outlet for myself during this rough time was creating music. I’ve written numerous full length albums, including “The Abyss” “Maps in the Dark” and “Survive the Night”. I’ve also written my personal favorite, “The Southern Lights” which is an EP that I released in 2024.
YouTube Content
I also felt compelled to discuss and create content about my favorite media. This started with just music, but ended up expanding to gaming, movies, TV, and more as I found success and built an audience on the platform
Meet the Channels
I have 3 YouTube channels, each catered to a different passion of mine
Nightwalk
This was a channel founded on a new love for music that I had discovered. Firstly, I used it to upload my original music from my debut album, The Abyss.
When I was growing up, I listened to mostly Christian music, and missed out on so many amazing bands throughout the 2000s. I spent the 2010s and 2020s making up for this by discovering Muse, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Radiohead, Royal Blood, Queens of the Stone Age and more.
Nightwalk 2
After playing through Elden Ring on my own time as a mega-fan of Fromsoftware, I went straight to YouTube. I searched “Elden Ring Bosses Ranked Worst to Best”, and NOTHING came up, days or weeks after release.
At that point I decided, there must be a void in the market. Within 24 hours of uploading my first gaming video to the channel, the video had blown up to proportions I hadn’t yet seen. I quickly saw this as an opportunity to merge my obsession with ranking, and fandom of souls.
Nightwalk Extras
With Nightwalk and Nightwalk 2 established, I couldn’t find a place to discuss any of my favorite movies or shows. And, it wasn’t for a lack of trying in my personal life. I reached out to person after person, and NOBODY had watched Better Call Saul. I simply HAD to talk about my favorite show of all time, and from there, I moved on to continue ranking different movies and shows. You might be able to tell at this point, but I’m a little bit obsessed with ranking things. Thank god for Letterboxd.
FAQs
What do you use to make your music?
I use the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Cubase, along with a blue yeti microphone to record all of my music.
What’s your favorite band?
I fluctuate between bands often, but my current favorite band has to be “The Dear Hunter”. Muse is always up there, but their recent content has slightly lowered them in my personal rankings.
