Bauxmonk is the sole producer of the “WELLNGOOD” tape, and has been making music since 2007. He started playing guitar, but eventually evolved into button mashing and sample chopping. The name Bauxmonk was chosen because “monk” is a reference to the meditative and silent practice of music, while “baux” has a deeper meaning that he chooses not to preserve.
