Stza

Scott Sturgeon, also known as Stza, is most notably the lead singer of ska-punk band 'Choking Victim'.  He is an active Anarchist, and portrays very strong messages in his songs.  The biggest message he conveys is the imbalance of power in our society.  He is very anti-authoritative and is an activist against police brutality and political corruption.

Although he is associated with being a squatter, drugs, train hopping and multiple arrests, he still has educated countless fans of alternative political views and the disadvantages of living in a capitalist society.  He also shares his experiences with police brutality and unfair treatment to help show people what actually happens behind the scenes in our society.

An example of one of his songs is the song 'Money', from the album 'No Gods, No Masters'.  This song is about how money is unevenly divided in our society and about the huge gap between the rich and poor.  It also is about how money leads to corruption in people, countries and societies in general.

Although he is not exactly a human rights activist, he has still helped people grow more aware of the world around them.
