my name is Jack Lavey.
Not many people know me yet, but hopefully that will change. I want to hear everyone listen. I have a voice and a message that needs to be heard, and i will not stop until everyone has heard what i have to say. I wasn't born with that name though... i grew up in a strict fundamental baptist home in which i fled when i turned 18. I have since given up my birth name and assumed a new one. The name Jack taken from the great fundamental pastor of one church for 41 year Jack Hyles. The name Lavey coming from the revolutionist creator and founder of the Satanist church Anton Lavey. After years of being force fed religion and the mindset that only the christians are good people, I have come to a conviction that the good in someone is merely point of view..and that jack hyles and anton lavey may have been equally good in many aspects..same to the bad as well. In understanding this i found the name Jack Lavey a fit to the life i wish to lead. A life that sais, "it does not matter what i believe that defines who I am, it is what I do." I have been writing lyric since the day in 7th grade chapel that we were told about an 16 year old boy who left the church and his home and later took his life out of frustration toward his parents neglect. I have been writing music since the day i left home. I was not aloud to play any form of instrument growing up. I was at first, but when my parents took notice of my passion for it, and that I was into more than just the stagnet hymns of the hymnal they no longer allowed me to play any form of instrument... When i left i was fortunate enought to find out about a governent grant for people like me who have no parental support and i was able to obtain a grant to go to college. Upon entering college i decided to be a solo aritist..i felt i would not find musicians who would connect with what i was doing. I write all the songs myself and record using borrowed equiptement. My current project will be my first full length solo album entitled "Elements of Sleep Deprivation."
"No questions for your answers" The first song for the album, is a song about first of all my struggle with my people (my parents especially) who had all the answeres. I decided at one point in my life that i dont have any questions for your answeres. I dont want to know how to live my life anymore..i just want to live it. I was sick of being trapped inside the little box they put me in and thus this song was written. It is also about the decay of society..it seems that our society is constantly going downhill, and people today simply and merely exist, living what would be looked at as an elegant waste of a life. It seems a lot of people dont care anymore, and because of this no changes will be made...I Jack LaVey want to make a change in peoples lives and put inspiration and ambition back into them. I hope that through my music and people seeing my ambition that i may achieve this.
The album will hopefully be completed this fall
