      @@jansenart0 and that´s the most interesting part. He began as a UA-camr, making funny videos. And people started calling him to play, because they noticed he is a great musician.

    As a visual artist, writer, and musician, this just made me smile to my core. I am passionate about all my art, in any mode of expression. Mono Neon's passion and skill for his art makes me want to work harder and harder on my own work--even though at 61-years-old and as a disabled veteran, I get tired a lot quicker than this talented young man does. I thank you, Mono Neon, from the bottom of my heart for the inspiration. NEVER LOSE THAT PASSION. My passion for my art brought me back from decades of a horrible life with PTSD. Art is the best medicine in the world! Be well, my brother!

    Mono is pushing the limits there aren't any boundaries on him. He's doing what ever he wants, Creatively his bass playing is unique very fresh his vibe is Avant-garde alien style totally out of the Box💯. My personal opinion everybody on that stage with him as good as they are he's light years ahead of them Creatively.

    Man, I dig your greasiness. Makes sense too me, on a sonic/symbolic level that you are standing in between Vic and Marcus, my personal patron saint of uptown sophisti-funk. And Vic is like the Playful, unbound, joyfull... but technically exact... I love them both, but it's MM's tone and vibe, and the pocket that movs me ... like Reggie Washington with Steve Coleman and five elements track Flynn.. minimal funk high concept - I could listen to Reggie play that simple groove for hours... and have... what's my point... squirrel... you Sir Neon, are all that - while simultaneously being a confrontationally warm dadist performance artist. I so deeply respect your un waving dedication to your own vision. It has taken me years to stop giving a fuck - long story - had to give up music and try and pretend I was nerotypical for a few years... but my "mask" wasn't fuzzy like yours, again , the aesthetic choices you have made, beyond the music is some next level capital A art. I'm a multi potentialite, which just a less pretentious way of saying "renaissance man.", and takes the gender bias out... anyway.. wish were neighbors. Peace
