Deaf Culture Presents: Artist Profiles- PWEST Digital

We decided to start doing artist profiles on some of our favorite artists and friends who are upcoming in their respective communities so I decided to kick off the series with my boy PWEST. I met PWEST at a showcase last year and since than keep in contact and we have rocked a few shows together, I was also honored to be his hype man at a show in L.A. when he opened for Mickey Avalon (Lots of memories that night haha, second pic below is from the performance). He is his own man to say the least and in the short time I've known him I've grown to respect him in many ways other than his music. PWEST lives in his own world, goes for what he wants, and has high expectations and goals in music. He is a down to earth cat not trying to impress you with fresh new kicks and some bullshit image, he has a hippy esque spirit and reps The Coast (Laguna Beach) his hometown with pride. His flow is definitely something of its own that takes you on a twisty but steady ride through his tracks and his content goes deeper than the surface appears. The more you listen to his tracks the more you see the substance behind the beat that usually keep your neck moving at a steady pace.



When asked for a bio this is what he submitted..."After the Titanic struck the iceberg, Benjamin Guggenheim's valet fitted him in a life-vest and got him onto the boat deck,but when Mr. Guggenheim saw the scramble aboard the boat deck, he stated, “I am willing to remain and play the man’s game, if there are not enough boats, more for the women and children. No woman shall be left aboard this ship because Ben Guggenheim was a coward.” He then went to his room, dressed in his finest tuxedo, returned to the ship’s bar, began sipping brandy and smoking a cigar, and uttered one of his last statements, “We’ve dressed in our best, and are prepared to go down like gentlemen.” Mr. PWEST is Like Benjamin Guggenheim." He holds a true spirit of an artist well doesn't he!?!



PWEST recently released a short EP called "Airplane Eyes" that is available here just click on the EP title. Must listen to tracks are Move Music, Maintain, and O.F.S. He will be dropping a mixtape later this year called "Roarin Like The Twenties" so be on the look out for that. He also has a show coming up in Arizona flyer posted below. Make sure to follow PWEST and his progress you will be hearing a lot more from him in the future!
