April Lee Roberts
Welcome
This site features my creative musical projects as well as one I am a proud part of. My writing and performing on all tracks are expressions of my soul; nothing more or less. I hope you enjoy what you hear.

Collaborate?
I would enjoy the opportunity to collaborate with other artists either in person/digitally or both. While artistic creation often goes hand in hand with communing with the Gods in one way or another, I prefer to leave the party atmosphere out of it, at this stage in my life. Just getting that out there, now. Great artists come in many forms, though. Closet, armchair, part-time, world famous, etc. To be creative is to be creative. Contact me to discuss.
Amazing Cover Art For My Site
I found this beautiful artwork for my site, a couple years ago but had not had the opportunity to get this endeavor off the ground until, recently. The artist was gracious enough to allow me use of the artwork in exchange for credit, despite my willingness to pay for it. Hopefully I will find enough success with this effort to offer a better stipend! May I present, Madink!
