FLAKE is an alternative rock and pop-punk artist from Wichita, Kansas, turning emotional wreckage, sharp humor, and everyday chaos into songs built for shouting back at the stage.

He first built a following through viral videos, including his infamous “Jankles” series, which introduced countless innocent bystanders to the enlightening experience of mutilating their jeans in the name of offensive-yet-inspirational fashion. The videos brought the attention, but the truly wise stayed for the music.

Blending alternative rock, pop-punk, and emo, FLAKE writes about loneliness, frustration, recovery, and figuring yourself out in real time. His songs pair vulnerable lyrics with explosive guitars, soaring melodies, and massive choruses—never cleaning up the crusty parts or pretending life is more put together than it actually is.

Following multiple appearances at Emo Nite’s Breaking & Entering, FLAKE is entering his strongest creative period yet, with more music and live performances ahead. His world may contain bad decisions, shredded denim, and emotional damage, but its heart is sincere: this is music for anyone learning to laugh at the wreckage and keep moving forward—even if they have to do it slowly.
