about

All music written and performed by Awkward Geisha.
All vocals and lyrics written and performed by Alan Ward.

Alan Ward is a rap/hip-hop artist from the United States specifically Milwaukee, WI. Ward began writing at the age of 12 and first started recording in high school. Formerly known as ‘D. Gatz’, Ward began rapping at parties and recording with a buddy/local rapper named ‘Tony Freeloader’ (now SvejiBoyz). After appearing on a few tracks from Freeloaders debut mixtape Stone Table Summer (2015) in, Ward took a hiatus after high school to focus on collegiate endeavors, but never stop writing music.

While at school, he met a few other up-and-coming artists from around the country and recorded/connected with them but never released any music. After getting his degree and spending years studying the game/industry from a far, Ward decided to finally follow his passion and pursue music. Dropping his first release, Joon EP , at the end of 2019 and two singles right before 2020, Alan Ward is already starting to gain some buzz and is looking to solidify himself as legit hip-hop force. ‘

Alan received over 2,000 streams across all major platforms (Oct. 1st – Dec 1st). His first single ‘FMB’ was lucky enough to be picked on 88NineRadioMilwaukees Milwaukee Music Mix and was featured on their weekly Spotify Playlist.
