BIO

STRAY BIKES

Stray Bikes is the solo project of Andy Porta (Wess Meets West, Zeme Libre, Greenridge, Maps Of). SB aims to make sincere and honest music while considering themes of change and pushing oneself towards betterment.

Build Your Life was written and formed from January 2016 to January 2019. This was my first attempt at writing and singing lyrics based on the plights of depression and anxiety I faced and continue to work on. Build Your Life's intent is to be genuine, transparent and earnest. It aims to maginify and confront feelings of doubt, sadness and hopelessness while countering them with messages of optimism, hope and honesty.

Half of proceeds will be donated to the Icarus Project.

The Icarus Project is a support network and education project by and for people who experience the world in ways that are often diagnosed as mental illness. We advance social justice by fostering mutual aid practices that reconnect healing and collective liberation. We transform ourselves through transforming the world around us.
