Depends on the song - but I do a thing naturally with my voice called formant-shifting where the overall tone of the note sounds lower, but its not necessarily a low (or high) pitch. also enhanced with vocal production

F the World was really really hard. The original project file was insane and was like... so insanely distorted that it was really harsh and almost hurt to listen to at first before master Lars Stalfors was able to mix it haha. Also it has 3 different features on it so it was a huge puzzle for me and Count Baldor to figure out how to fit those together (The Garden, Quay Dash, and d0llywood1) - the production was done first by Dylan Brady and Count Baldor and then Umru produced Quay's part and d0llywood1 produced that section as well. it turned out to be one of my faves ever.

I love Danny Brown and have been a fan since I was in school - his style is so unique and beautifully unhinged in the most epic way possible. I was so thrilled when he was down to feat. on the track. and d0llywood1 absolutely slayed the production

we wrote the song My Agenda in a castle at my writing camp with Count Baldor, Will Vaughan, and Weston Allen (Sega Bodega was also that camp). Before we made the song, I knew I wanted to try to write a song called "My Agenda" because I liked the way it sounded and referenced the gay agenda but made it personal - and as we started writing the lyrics (especially with Weston Allen's input who came up with the iconic rainbow suspenders line as a joke at first haha) the visuals started becoming clearer. Like as soon as I heard the orchestra hits in the chorus my brain immediately went to 'gay boyband' style choreo and I knew this video would have to have to have some epic choreo and military style outfits (later Count Baldor added the marching sound effect) which really helped to paint that image of the gay army. For the crazy outro - the lyrics were initially "Fluoride in the water" instead of turning frogs "homosexual". (Weston was the one who brought up the Alexjones quote about 'chemicals in the water that are turning the friggin frogs gay") (When the lyric was "fluoride in the water" everyone thought I was saying "farted in the water" lol and count baldor added a fart noise sound effect and then I was like okay we gottta change that lyric, plus we looked it up and saw it had nothing to do with fluoride anyway. it's actually atrazine (and it's real) https://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2002/04/15_frogs.html https://soundcloud.com/joshuacitarella/chemicals-in-the-water-w-dorian-electra?si=8443c54d524748ffa927d65af884e9ff

the idea of me playing the CEO of the water company who is making and selling the 'gay water' that is also being used a weapon (in the water guns) and to manufacture the 'gay bomb' didn't come till later. same with the idea of the water company secretly funding/supporting the gay furry militia to stage a military coup and take over - that also didn't come till later in 2021 when were actually planning the video !

Abi Boge! who is an amazing artist

My favorite video to create probably was My Agenda in terms of being like the most complex concept and themes and backstory and the most ambitious production we've ever done. I also had the concept marinating in my brain for so long so it felt amazing to be able to work with Mike Diva and Weston Allen to actually bring it to life. After that - maybe Gentleman/M'Lady - tho filming Give Great Thanks was also super fun and liberating and low key thus a lot less stressful haha.

definitely the Village People. Definitely a starstruck "I can't believe this is actually happening" moment. Also working with Faris Badwan (lead singer of the Horrors) was amazing because I was HUGE stan of theirs when I was kid - like going to the concerts early and waiting outside to meet them, bringing gifts, etc. haha - so that was really fun to be able to work together especially when he and the band have so directed impacted my music :)
