I am a 26 year old artist & producer born and raised in San Antonio, TX.  I have been playing instruments all my life, but formally began my music career in 2019 with the release of my EP, Sarin. I am truly a “bedroom” artist, primarily working out of a home studio. My musical style meets at an intersection of genres, such as alternative rock, post-punk, and hip-hop. Some of my influences include The Cure, Joji, and Joy Division. My favorite hobby when not playing music is watching a good sunset.

Artist Statement of Work

Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):

Having written poetry from a young age, my work is often informed by intricate, introspective lyrics that touch on themes of isolation, metaphysics, and the transcendence of the natural world. My songs also tend to possess an experimental quality stemming from my interests in psychedelics and psychology (the latter of which I have my degree in). Often genre-bending, my music can best be described as somewhere in between the intersection of post-punk and hip-hop, incorporating emotionally raw vocals and layered guitar chords with melodic trap beats.
