Who Is The Artist Behind The Logo
THE BEGINNING: The year was 1992 when the artist put himself into a situation to be charged of a crime. The circumstances surrounding that situation are embarrassing to say the least... However. Those charges were never committed. Although a trial insued. At the end of the day, the other person involved had a consience, stood fast on priciple, or maybe even to honor a legacy, eventually told "THE TRUTH", (Thank u, I am forever grateful). However. The District Attorney fabricated and presented to the court a false narrative, for what I can only equate to being for his own personal gain and satisfaction. Even after the other person whom he manipilated and used to create falsehood against me, ultimately confessed "THE TRUTH". He allowed his pride to interfere with his obligation to honor his job and subsequently, refused to honor and accept "THE TRUTH". Instead of gracefully adhering to the facts to dismiss the charges. Not only did he disrespect "THE TRUTH". He used his power of authority and persuasion because of his own pride to VIOLATE Constitutional Rights, and do what the bad side of justice does well, and the artist was convicted for a crime in which he DID NOT commit, and was sentenced to serve 2 -10 years in prison. Needless to say. Because of this UNJUST incarceration, inmate 228147 was not a model prisoner. Recieving dozens of disciplinary infractions (tickets), placed in the Hole (solitary confinement) several times for negative conduct towards prison staff etc. After all, he wasnt supposed to be there. During this incarceration he was denied parole over and over for simply refusing to admit to a crime that he did not commit. Some would say, why not just say yes and be released? Because after all your freedom was on the line. While that may seem like a no brainer to most. For the artist It was about the principle of the Truth.

Prison is not a resort, its meant to be a place of discipline, rehabilitation, and some deserve to be there. But also during this incarceration, there was the unfortunate oppourtunity to see different men from all walks of life and circumstances. Every religion and every race of men. Sons, brothers, uncles, fathers. Lived with men that will never see freedom again because of bad decisions. Watched some men given the chance go home, and watched those same men return. Also witness the death of men before that chance to go home. Its easy to get caught up in the perils of prison and lose yoursef in the chaos and discord that is prison life. However. You wouldnt wish it upon your worst enemy. And after spending 10 straight years in prison for a crime he did not commit? He had survived... maintained his sanity... kept his... "composure"
The Support Hustle: 2002 after 10 years of hardship it was time to go home with a fresh chance at life. But the System had another trick up its sleeve. On the very day of being released from prison and before he could even walk out a "free" man. Inmate 228147 was handed a piece of paper letting me know that he had a warrant for his arrest for failing to pay child support during his 10 years of incarceration. And because he had not paid any child support during that 10 year incarceration he owed $121,000 in back arrears. Yes. One Hundred Twenty One Thousand dollars. And with that. The next level of this journey had begun.
Regardless the fact that he was even charged the child support while locked up. Because of his inability to put a significant dent in the $121,000 in back child support, "The powers that be" continued to arrest and place him in jail several times since his release in 2002. Ultimately the artist was forced to take a plea for 2 erroneous felonies for that back child support debt, or go back to prison for an additional 5 year term. The irony is that he "plead guilty" to the charges of accumulating $121,000 worth of child support WHILE in prison for 10 years. However. Unlike the first time where he refused to take even a misdemeanor charge because he ws "NOT GUILTY" of the crime in 1992, this time his hands were tied. This was 100% a no win scenario. Because although they knew he was In prison during the accumulation of child support, the system said he still owed the money anyway. So it was either agree to pay the money or go back to prison for 5 years. That was 2012.
Today. He is not "physically" incarcerated because of that plea under duress. A plea taken in order to avoid another unjust incarceration. But with that he must pay and has continued to pay to this day, "Hundreds" of dollars a month in child support. Even though the youngest child of that support order is a mother of 4 herself. It would maybe hit a little different if the adult children were the ones who actually recieved the monthly support. They do not. Instead however. The System has enabled the mother of those adult children to recieve "that money". Even allow the taking of yearly tax returns etc., But thats another story for another day about the Friend Of the Court system.
MASS INCARCERATION is a real thing in the United States of America. So many men, women and children are forced to be a part of a system that is designed to fail you. That this systematic problem can destroy the lives of individulals and their families, forever. Everyone can't speak or be heard. Everyone doesnt share the same path in life. Compos)(ure has had some major trials and tribulations, some of them self inflicted, but yet make no excuses. Your supposed to learn and grow. And teach and show others how to do the same.
"The Truth Will Set You Free". Those are words to live by. Who better to understand the validaty of such a statement, than one who lives and endure the reality and signifacance of such a precious statement.
The journey of Composhure to get to this point began over 30 years ago. If he could go back in time and change the outcome and not have to endure how it effects his life today would he? No. Because it will still start off with being "Not Guilty" of a crime that didn't exist. Yes. He is embarrassed by the circumstances surrounding him being incacerated 1992. But he is not ashamed of something that he did not do. One thing that he's learned about himself. He's strong, resilient, and forgiving. The powers that be have not broken his spirit, have not deminished his faith in the overall goodness of people. For throughout all the nonsense, the crap, the outright dirtiness of how the penal system can be. He has remained constant in who he is. He has kept his "composure".
The name of Composhure is the description of his character and how he lives his life today. Music is a part of his DNA, and the fabric of what makes him. For all his life music has been his getaway, his passion. Even while unjustly incarcerated, the artist let music be his relief from all the turmoil of prison life. Even producing music and shows for those with musical aspirations. And while he has created music for others in the past. This journey and his mission today is to be in the forefront, and to be a voice for those who cannot be heard.
*AMILLIONMUGZ : While COMPOSHURE has been able to strive and flourish inspite of the challenges and difficulties for being a 3x convicted felon, (one for the original conviction, and two more for felony child support while incarcerated). There are others who can not. Therefore he has an obligation to be their voice. To lead by the example of Second Chances. Because while he does not consider himself to be your conventional felon. He is still a convicted felon just the same. He is a part of the official statistics. He is One of Millions. He represents that side of society and all the stigma that comes along with it.
Spelled with an "H". The H is for being Humbled by all the different things that life has thrown his way, without him losing his way.
