I work within self contained worlds of music and art, moving through them as an explorer rather than a traditional producer.

The works I share, whether recordings, objects, or phrases, are treated as retrieved artifacts, brought back and offered to a small, attentive community through intimate channels such as Bandcamp and other independent outlets.

Distribution is part of the practice. These artifacts circulate quietly, from neighbor to neighbor, outside of scale or spectacle.

The focus is not on instructing or persuading, but on offering evidence that these worlds exist and can be entered.

Proof of Life is not a biography or an artist statement. It is a signal that something was found, encountered, and returned with care.

Scott Grooves/Sumgood art is a Detroit based artist working across music and visual art.
