"Jonathan Canupp lives in Denver, Colorado. He produces music as Ten and Tracer. He is a student of biology and religious studies. He tries to be funny but sometimes it is just offensive to people. He collects butterflies. He writes in cursive. Now that you know so much about him, perhaps you'd like to share a little bit about yourself."
