Crow Speaks, a musician, shares his journey and how he uses music as an escape to a serene environment.
Music embodies the events that happen in one’s life. An artist creates songs that are derived from their life in one way or another. Crow speaks is a musician whose story will touch hearts. His music is a way of coping with untreated childhood trauma, un-diagnosed major, bipolar, manic depression, and being raised in the midwest. The creation of this artist began when Edgar Sopper stumbled upon a $20 Tascam MKII Portostudio four-track cassette recorder in a Goodwill store. It marked a befitting end to a 3-year relationship and a stint in the Pacific Northwest.
Crow Speaks is the personality of Edgar Sopper that is channeled through his frustration, depression, and the unruly events of life. Music puts up a strong fight with the demons in his life and helps him to be unbothered by the bad things.
The talented artist recently released his EP. “Crow Speaks” is a compilation of 5 tracks that are written from 2015 to 2019. Edgar Sopper began working on his self-recorded, written, performed, and mixed EP in December of 2020, where he would work tirelessly to create something unique that was later released on February 20th, 2021.
Unprecedented Talent
Music is the only thing that kept Crow Speaks going all these years with untreated depression and trauma. Instead of leaning into addiction, he decided to turn his life around. His inspiration for creating songs stemmed in the form of therapy which he could never actually take out the time to treat.
The charismatic soul tells his story with the help of words and soothing music that touches his heart. His music has a dark undertone which gives an edge to each song. In a way, it signifies how he triumphed over all the darkness with one thing in mind, creating great music.
He constantly plays with elements of fusion to create something unique and combine the hazy lyrics by Edgar Sopper into the beatific guitar riffs of “Crow Speaks”.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world went into despair. But, Crow Speaks kept his head high and reigned through the problems by using the pandemic as a motivation to create more and more music.
With a striking voice and a talent that has unprecedented potential, Crow Speaks leaves the people in the trance of his songs.
On the inspiration behind his music, Crow comments, “Music was the only thing that kept me alive for many years. Creating songs was the only therapy I could afford. It was a place I could confide in. I sing my pain. Tell my story through music, and as terrifying and uncomfortable it may sound, it’s far worse to keep it hidden inside. Only by letting a little fresh air and sunlight in can it heal.”
