When asked about his journey from zero to 20,000 SoundCloud followers OmenXIII said: ^[2]

"It was a long journey but I dropped almost 200 songs last year, and am very persistent so I feel like it’s well deserved.

Quitting my job and just risking literally every form of stability in my life was a necessary step, but look at how far it's gotten me.

There were a lot of artists and people that saw or have seen potential in me over the last year, so I appreciate all of them.

Finally being at 20k is cool and all but I'm still not where I want to be obviously, hunger is eternal.

"

He is an advocate of independent artists and hates to see commercialization spreading to the underground scene.

In 2016 Omen tweeted a link to 17 albums he created that you can download for free.
