Feral is the Kid

On his debut album, Feral is the Kid confronts themes of darkness, grief, loss, and death - all themes that have surrounded the human condition in some way, shape, or form. Though an exaggeration of real life events, the record is rooted in realism in some way. The 48 minute concept record follows the likes of it's titular character, Kid Vicious. Real life situations inspired the 11 tracks on the record. From the death of family members to the loss of friendships. From the feeling of self hate to the confusion of religion and spiritualism. While the record might have an unfortunate ending, this is just the beginning of a story years in the making for Feral is the Kid. Born Jake Zimkiewicz in Massachusetts, Zimkiewicz wasn't brought into a musical family. It was only when he showed interest at a young age that he was placed in voice lessons from the local church choir director. After singing in church and seeming to grow musically, Zimkiewicz moved to Florida with his family. At the age of fourteen, he composed his own tracks in his bedroom. He created some of his first songs (some of which you may be able to find online still) and began what would eventually become the Feral is the Kid project. "Music is something I'll always have. It's always something I'll be involved in. Once I start, I can't stop. This is only the beginning."
