I focus on visual aspects/ideas of this operation and should not be taken seriously. The end.

Joule (she/her|they/them)

Hi!~

Coming from the rural terror known as northern Illinois, I have spent many hours hyperfixated on music and technology designed and produced many years before my conception. As such, I didn't get to meet enough like-minded people to keep me on the right track until moving out of the bro-country-enamored, pseudo-suburban hell as of a couple years ago. Now, in a less broken state, mentally and physically, I can better express my emotions on paper and in melody.

Mase and I started Olive Patch in 2025 to utilize our strengths in art and create something that speaks to ourselves and our history. Although my role is more detached from the standpoint that I focus mainly on music, I still handle many technical aspects (such as this website!) and provide occasional visual art of my own. But, without the direction where to stand in frame, what face to display, or sometimes which outfit to wear, I'd be hopeless, so you may thank Mase for making me look so good on your screen ;) .
