Saint Mesa

DANNY MCCOOK, THE 21-YEAR OLD CALIFORNIA NATIVE AND SELF-TAUGHT MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST BEHIND SAINT MESA, FOUND THE SPIRIT AND INSPIRATION FOR HIS DEBUT JUNGLE EP IN DISHEARTENING CIRCUMSTANCES. AS HE WAS RECORDING AND COMPOSING COMPLETED SONGS AND DEVELOPING A CAREER AS A VISUAL ARTIST – ALL BEFORE HE TURNED 17 – HE WAS STRUCK DOWN WITH A MYSTERY ILLNESS.

HOSPITALIZED INNUMERABLE TIMES OVER TWO YEARS, HE EMBRACED HIS FORCED-ISOLATION BY USING IT TO SKETCH SOME IDEAS THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME SONGS FOR HIS DEBUT, JUNGLE EP.

DOCTORS WERE BAFFLED BY THE ILLNESS UNTIL ONE DAY…HE WAS BETTER. DANNY EMERGED WITH A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND AN APPRECIATION OF THE WORLD’S NATURAL BEAUTY. HE SET OUT WITH HIS BROTHER, PHOTOGRAPHER AND VISUAL ARTIST ISAAC MCCOOK TO DOCUMENT THEIR TRAVELS AND CREATE ALONG THE WAY. THIS COLLABORATION RESULTED IN THE ARTWORK OF SAINT MESA, AND RESULTED IN THIS SPIRITUAL AND NATURE-INSPIRED DEBUT EP.
