From a headstone.
William Hooker Lamb is the pseudonym of Christopher Bykowski, a disabled, combat veteran, Artist, musician and clothing designer.
After taking a 10 year hiatus from music to focus on the Bykowski clothing line, I’m proud to release my 1st solo record ever and proud to have played every instrument and place every single thought into it. I have songs that come from ever single music influence I’ve had. Nothing fancy, no made up story to sell it or to get you more excited about it. Its all original music that comes from my heart and soul. I have no interests in making cookie cutter music for masses. Pleasing the mainstream in not in my set of goals . We already have enough of those things in this world
I was walking through a graveyard with my wife and some dear friends of mine in Oakland February 2020 before the world changed. I walked past a beautiful monument dedicated to William Hooker Lamb. Just a man, a whore to society and a sacrificial lamb. I have adopted the name and I make art for myself, no one else. It’s the one part of me that doesn’t have to answer to anyone. I will keep perusing all my passions and working very hard at all that I do.
While getting back on track after the global pandemic, I am currently working on launching a unique NFT project to support other creative Veteran owned businesses and well as help my own bounce back from the struggles Covid 19 has created.
