FKE IMGE (PRONOUNCED “FAKE IMAGE”) IS AN ANTI-MASK PROJECT IN A WORLD OBSESSED WITH IMAGE.

THE PROJECT EXISTS TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUFFERED BULLYING & EXPERIENCED MISUNDERSTANDING OR NEEDED TO CREATE A FALSE IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO FIT IN WITH OTHERS. 

THE PROJECT REJECTS FAKE IDENTITIES, SURFACE-LEVEL PERFECTION, & IMAGE-FIRST CULTURE IN FAVOR OF HONESTY, EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS, & REAL CONNECTION.

THE MUSIC DISPLAYS HUMAN EMOTIONS WHICH INCLUDE ANGER, JOY, & SADNESS, WHICH ALL RESULT IN HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRONIC MUSIC (DUBSTEP, DRUM & BASS, HOUSE, TRAP, & METAL).

FKE IMGE BUILDS MUSIC-BASED ENVIRONMENTS WHICH ENABLE INDIVIDUALS TO REMOVE THEIR SOCIAL MASKS & EXPERIENCE GENUINE EMOTIONS WHILE THEY CAN CONNECT WITH OTHERS IN AN AUTHENTIC WAY FOR AN ENJOYABLE TIME.
