Artist description Ded Serius derives from the original euphemism "Dead Serious," with the caveat that we should never take ourselves overly seriusly, since that isn't very fun. And, the usage of an alternate spelling of "serious" to connote an extraterrestrial message is intentional. Perhaps a further review of the music and lyrical content will provide further insights.

Artist History In 1979, I began realizing common tones and messages in my lyrics. These inevitably evolved into the music in a way that expressed their meaning in a way that felt most appropriate to me.I had the opportunity in 1984 to pursue my music to the exclusion of my professional talents. I chose to stave off this pursuit while developing other skills, and, a means to promote my music financially without having to relegate all financial interests to some promotions company, or record label.I've been working for two decades to develop the technology and financial resources to make this happen.The time has come to focus on Ded Serius and get the message and the music out.
