I've been working on a new project...

DON’T LISTEN AL🎧NE

A psychological horror anthology designed to stay with you long after the audio ends.

The response so far has been incredible.

One listener said:
"Black Mirror couldn't have done it better."

Another called it:
"Creepy and wild."

You guys wanted more Drip Panic… and trust me, they heard you loud and clear. 💖⚡

Watching this band grow has honestly been insane. Drip Panic has become one of my favorite bands to work with, and it’s been awesome seeing so many of you become Panics right alongside us.

You guys have been showing these songs so much love, and the band sees every comment, every repost, every scream along lyric video 😭⚡

While the band keeps cooking up codename: DP2, we didn’t want the Panics sitting around starving for new music.

So over the next week, we’re rolling out the Panic Responsibly Edition featuring 4 bonus tracks that didn’t make the original self-titled album.

Not because they weren’t good. Honestly? Some of these tracks are absolute monsters.

They just didn’t fully fit the exact flow of the original record… but they deserved to exist. And I’ve got a feeling some of you are about to discover your new favorite Drip Panic songs.

BONUS TRACKS:
⚠️ Caution Tape
✨ Glitter Emergency
💅 Hot Girl Nervous Breakdown
🎤 In A Panic (Live @ The Fillmore Detroit)

And for that final live release… we’ll finally be revealing the FIRST full image of the entire band together 👀

Trust me. You’re not ready.

ALSO… the brand new Panic Responsibly T-shirt is officially live now at the new PJM Merch Store 🖤💖

If Drip Panic is becoming your favorite band too… now you can actually represent them out in the wild 👕Hey… yeah, you.

Katie described the new Drip Panic shirt to me the other night and honestly… she's right💖⚡

“If you’re still staring at this like you’re not sure… I get it.

Picking a shirt is easy. Picking a feeling? Not so much.

This one isn’t just a design though.

It’s every messy text you wish you didn’t send.

Every “I’m fine” that wasn’t.

Every time you broke… and still got back up louder.

Drip Panic isn’t about pretending everything’s okay.

It’s about feeling everything and surviving it anyway.

‘Panic Responsibly’ means:

Lose your mind if you need to…

just don’t lose yourself.

Wear it like armor.

Or wear it like a warning.

Either way, we see you.” 🫶

Honestly?
That’s Drip Panic.

“SINS” - A Sit-Down with Charlie Kaminsky | The Mind Behind Xavier Graves with Professor Jacket: Part 3

Part 2:
youtube.com/post/Ugkx0aTA-jL4I4nyb1vnPeinevJSZaanr…

18. The Future of Xavier Graves

PJ: After SINS, where do you see Xavier Graves evolving next? Do you already know what chapter comes after this one?

Charlie:
So where do we go from here? I have another album in the works, though it’s more of a SINS remixed type thing. I’m taking a few of the songs and creating covers of them. I reuse lyrics in many songs I’ve released, but as far as covering songs, well that’s been a lot more rare. This next act is an opportunity to take some of the SINS album and create a funky, loud, and
awesome groovy performance. No idea on release date yet, but will be coming in the next couple months. This may also introduce a bit of a side persona. Xavier Graves is great as a solo act, but what if he had a band behind him? Find out soon!

19. One Question You Wish People Asked

PJ: What’s something nobody asks you about your work… that you wish they would?

Can you write a song about?... I think this is what I am going to do with Traylor Sniff at some point, but I just need people to interact. I think having a community driven album of community prompts or ideas would be a lot of fun with me. I really enjoyed the times I created music for AI
Music Fight club and I loved the mental flexing I’d have to do to put a song together quickly. I think I got a little disenfranchised when submissions became previous months old works and the content felt extremely vague versus the prompt given. I lost interest from there, but overall I still
enjoyed the process. I think I’ll do something like that soon! Taking inquiries now! Let me know what you want me to write a song about!

20. Final Message

PJ: For someone about to experience SINS for the very first time… what would you want to say to them?

Charlie:
Listen from start to finish. It’s not about the watch time or songs played, but like I said at the start, this is in the order it’s in for a specific reason. It plays out in acts. I look at Headlights, Consume Me, Fever, and Edge Of Eternity as Act 1. It’s about stumbling upon love whether you wanted it or not and diving in head first. Belly of the Beast, Tremors, And Bittersweet are all about sort of catching yourself in that moment of weakness, falling for a trap you’ve fallen for so many times in the past. Act 2. Act 3 would be Drag Me Under, The Way You Make Me, Quicksand, and Haunt Me. These are all songs about coming to terms with regret or dealing with your emotional demons, reflecting on them and finally letting them go. It’s also about understanding that sometimes whether you admit it or not, the sins are what make us Human.

A huge thank you to Charlie Kaminsky for taking the time to sit down with me and pull back the curtain on the world of Xavier Graves, SINS, and the ever-expanding universe of characters he’s building. I always appreciate artists who are willing to talk openly about their creative process, especially when they’re building something this ambitious. Charlie’s clearly not short on ideas, and if this interview proved anything, it’s that there’s a lot more coming. Between Xavier, KNIVES, Traylor, Votara, VillAIns, and whatever beautifully chaotic project comes next… I’ll be watching closely. And honestly? I can’t wait to see where this universe goes next.

And Charlie… when that next Traylor Sniff album drops, you already know the invitation is open. I’d absolutely love to have you back for another sit-down to talk all about it.

“SINS” - A Sit-Down with Charlie Kaminsky | The Mind Behind Xavier Graves with Professor Jacket: Part 2

If you missed Part 1, check it out here 👇
youtube.com/post/UgkxsMFbcaaGUhgAvi9Ldr5B12xWxarwz…

9. Charlie vs Xavier

PJ: How much separation is there between you and Xavier Graves creatively? Does Xavier feel like a character you perform through… or has the line blurred over time?

Charlie:
I think Charlie is the brains behind everything I do, but I think each and every persona or character is just the extension of myself that makes the most sense to present it. I think Traylor in general is the most diverse of the canvases as she’s where I poured most of my initial ideas, but overtime I’ve realized that she may not have been the best outcome. Lyrics are an
interesting thing and while everything is 100% me, sometimes what I may have initially created for one character may be wayyyy better suited for another.

10. The Expanding Universe

PJ: At this point you’ve built multiple distinct personas and projects: • Xavier Graves • Traylor Sniff • Votara • KNIVES • Trevor Sniff And somehow they all feel connected while still having completely different identities. Do you think of these as separate projects… or as pieces of one larger creative universe?

Charlie:
Again, the glue holding everything together I think is myself, but the key piece is that I don’t really write for one specific project. Other than Traylor Sniff, which when that was my sole project, of course everything I did was with that in mind. But in that I felt limited at the same time. I couldn’t really stray from female vocals. I was of course creating songs with male components, but that’s not Traylor Sniff. So I had to develop personas or characters that fit thatnew mold rather than write music for a new character. It’s a different way of looking at it I think
and that’s where I’ve had such a hard time on a professional level. How do I market… Me?

11. The Return of Traylor Sniff

PJ: I have to ask this because I’m a huge fan of Traylor Sniff’s music and style. Her catalog is honestly incredible. When are we getting more Traylor?

Charlie:
I don’t think she’s going away. I think there’s an evolution that needs to occur and that takes some buy in from the fans. I think she’s one of many great characters and personas I could be creating for, but I genuinely have sooo many things I’d love to explore. It’s tough. I do have some music I’ve been working on and she may be making her way back into the limelight. I do
miss her too for sure!

12. “The Lab” Experience

PJ: Getting to be part of The Lab video was such a cool experience. That project had this chaotic, experimental energy that really stuck with me. Looking back on it now, what does The Lab represent to you creatively?

Charlie:
Corny or not, I think the Lab was my first real attempt in diving into some of the newer AI video generation tech. What’s crazy is how much I learned between The Lab and Drag Me Under and making the compromises between quality and consistency and making sure the story was solid.
I definitely think some elements could have been executed better, but overall it was a very fun project to work on!

13. The Sound of Votara

PJ: Votara feels completely different from Xavier Graves sonically. There’s almost this Sleep Token influenced emotional heaviness to it, while still sounding unique. What inspired the direction of Votara?

Charlie:
It most definitely is. You’re 100% right with the Sleep Token influence as well. That’s really the main thing. I was looking at AI content in general and a lot of it is faceless content mostly. I was thinking about faceless content and music as a whole and some of the most popular music at the time was being created by bands that hide their faces. Slipknot, Sleep Token, Ghost, President and so many more at this point, I just thought it could be fun to play in that realm a bit. I love metal music as well, so thought it could be a way to dabble in that.

14. KNIVES and “Fangs”

PJ: One of the things people have been hearing during Fresh Friday Festival is Fangs from KNIVES constantly popping up between premieres… and every time it plays people ask about it. What can you tell us about KNIVES, and how different is that project going to be compared to your other personas?

Charlie:
KNIVZ was inspired by a mix of anime action as well as Ash Johenson (Another AI Artist) The chaos rock, noise pop, just grungy, grimey, distorted angst filled riffs are what I was drawn to there. I love the Pixies, Deftones, Foo Fighters and some of the riffs in that space I wanted to explore. I just wanted to add a little glitch pop to the mix, so that’s what I did. She’s there to represent a weaponized element to my musical arsenal. She’s the knife at the gun fight, but it’s not going to end the way you think. I wanted something High Energy and high octane for her. While I could have just continued this in the Traylor Sniff space, I thought the sound was different enough it could warrant an entirely new persona, so I made her a thing at the very end of The Lab.

15. VillAIns 👊

PJ: You also became part of the VillAIns supergroup with your debut appearance on A VillAInous Christmas with Dr. Goon’s Icy Veins. How did that collaboration come together, and what was it like stepping into that world with so many other creators?

Charlie:
I had spoken with many of the key Villains for a very long time. I knew about the original VillAIns release because of conversations with you way before it finally came out. So while I wasn’t a VillAIn perse, I definitely felt like a henchman early on. It’s a little overwhelming at times within the group when there’s so much talent oozing from the seams. While I’ve been in this a little bit
longer than some, I definitely feel like the odd man out at times. I created Traylor Sniff using thumbnails and music and these guys are creating full on films, not just one offs, but consistently. That’s insane to me! I had brainstormed so many potential VillAIns for Traylor Sniff, but nothing felt “villainy”, so I looked over at Votara and was like… That’s pretty Dr. Doom-ish. Dr. Goon. Done.

16. AI as a Creative Tool

PJ: Your projects never feel like “AI for the sake of AI.” Everything feels intentional, emotional, and artist driven first. What do you think people still misunderstand most about AI-assisted music creation?

Charlie:
That it doesn’t “have” to feel AI. I think some people set out with the intent of making their music sound like AI, like they want that to be the thing they’re honed in on. This is AI, check it out. I don’t think people want that. I think people want to hear good, catchy music first and if it turns out it’s AI then, wow… I didn’t even realize that! That’s crazy! How did you do that?! That’s the goal I’ve had since day 1. Now I’m not here to trick anyone either and since day 1, I have always said that I use AI to create my music. I’m not one to try and hide that. I just want to create good music that people would listen to AI or not.

17. The Emotional Core of Your Music

PJ: Underneath all the visuals, characters, and production… your work feels deeply emotional. What drives you creatively more: the atmosphere of a song… or the emotional truth behind it?

Charlie:
I think I’m inspired first by the sound and the melody. It’s got to have the right cadence and feel. If it doesn’t have that, it won’t be catchy enough to listen to the lyrics. On the lyrical side, I justwant to make sure there’s a story there. It may not always make sense, but sometimes I don’t, lol.

Stay Tuned for Part 3 of “SINS” - A Sit-Down with Charlie Kaminsky | The Mind Behind Xavier Graves with Professor Jacket, releasing tomorrow.
