What does “Hearttooth” mean?
We don’t really know what Hearttooth means! (If you do, drop us a line.) John Daugherity originally established Hearttooth as a business in order to publish and promote his own music, and he had the dream of promoting other artists, too, with the Hearttooth brand.
Why did John perform under the name Cezanne?
We do know this one! You might think it’s because he admired a fellow painter Paul Cézanne, and he did. But the Cezanne in John’s life was a fluffy Ragdoll cat who lived with him in the early 2000s! John designed the black and white Cezanne logo.
