Every morning\u00a0Lucas Nathan<\/strong>\u00a0wakes up, slips into a flowy dress, and heads to the studio for a day of absolute jamming as their freaky weirdo musical persona:\u00a0Jerry Paper<\/a><\/strong>. The one rule?\u00a0NO SELF DOUBT<\/em>! What came of that creative process is the synth-pop, weird-rock, bizarro-muzak masterpiece- the\u00a0Free Time<\/strong>\u00a0album (4\/15), is\u00a0an expression of freedom on their journey to self-discovery as a nonbinary artist, groover, and, most importantly, shaker of ass. When Jerry Paper asks you to hit *PLAY* on\u00a0Free Time,<\/em>\u00a0they mean it in the most literal sense of the word\u2026they want you to PLAY around and have some friggin\u2019 fun for once! Check out the first single\/vid Kno Me below, or stream it on\u00a0all digital platforms<\/a>! (above image by\u00a0Sandy Honig<\/a>, all screengrabs via the video)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wrote \u2018Kno Me\u2019 while reflecting on what it means to know yourself, and how that comes up against being misunderstood by the world. I have felt so much desire to be known and understood by people I\u2019m close to (and, foolishly, strangers!) that I have wasted plenty of time losing sight of myself in the process. Coming out as nonbinary was a huge way for me to know myself deeply, and paradoxically something about sharing that with the world made me care less about how people see me. I have a much more comprehensive understanding of myself and nothing can take that away from me. The imagery in the song comes from the first day I decided to wear a dress outside while running errands. I kept repeating \u201cfuck you, you don\u2019t know me\u201d in my head whenever I saw anybody as a way to center myself. Soon I realized most people didn\u2019t care at all or weren\u2019t paying attention to me so it made me laugh and also feel really good and free!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
