A project of mutual appreciation for music and its unlimited landscape. Complex By Design consists of two brothers from Atlanta, Georgia. One brother is a ex skateboard punk who found hip hop and fell in love. The other grew up as a concert rat with the scars to prove it.
One of us started writing a long time ago and found solace. The other picked up a guitar and found a calling. Different tastes in music have brought an interesting vibe to our collaboration and we hope you enjoy it.
