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 OR 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, AND IMAGE-FIRST CULTURE IN FAVOR OF HONESTY, EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION, AND REAL CONNECTION.

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

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