Rock-it-ology

I wrote a book about my childhood trauma and my journey all the way up to turning 40. It’s packed with the good, the bad, the ugly, and my wildly crazy chase for a dream. Catching that dream sparked the beginning of my Inner Child Revolution, which I continue to share on my YouTube channel named, Darth Rirou—a playful mix of Darth Vader and my childhood nickname from the tough times when trauma was a part of my life.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to connect deeply, find real motivation, and maybe even start their own inner child revolution.

After that, I released a free e-book titled Slayer Saves / Maiden Rules. It’s a spiritual story of Rocker Dad inspired by my healing journey—or, to be more precise, my spiritual awakening.

Punkaste TV is a vibrant YouTube channel where the inner child, Darth Rirou takes center stage on a powerful healing journey through the electrifying world of metal and rock ’n’ roll. Featuring two guitars, one bass, and one drum set, this channel rocks out with energetic covers of classic metal and rock songs alongside a handful of original tracks (band: Punkaste) that tell a story of transformation and resilience.

More than just music, Punkaste TV is a celebration of creativity, self-expression, and emotional healing. It’s a place where raw childhood emotions meet powerful riffs, proving that music can be a fearless ally on the path to inner peace. Join in to witness a one-man band’s journey of turning pain into rhythm and healing into hard rock.
