a new sound is coming

from 19 june 2026

hear it first…

the beginning of a cultural reset

i started as a singer-songwriter using music to process grief…

it was the only music i knew how to make

i was raised between two wildly different worlds.

  1. religion, rules, appearances, the pressure to do the right thing

  2. chaos, wildness, trauma running through generations

my dad used to say:

‘one beer, one water’

his way of trying to stay tethered to something solid even when he couldn't find the balance himself

i've spent my whole life learning that same rhythm:

out in the chaos, back into the stillness. loud, then quiet. electric, then soft

when i went to south america something cracked open

montañita, ecuador: originally intended as a short stop and became a major creative turning point:


a place where performance, nightlife, collaboration and community transformed both my music and identity.

my first true leap into electronic sound made in montanita with producer Alex Del Mar (Chile) and beatboxer Gabriel Munoz (Ecuador)

i began experimenting with:

  • electronic production

  • freestyle vocals

  • documentary filmmaking

  • visual world-building

  • nightlife-inspired songwriting

  • collaborative creation

this became the foundation for everything that was to follow

i came home in december 2025 with two EPs, books in progress, long-form video work, and a recalibration still underway

through that recalibration i understood that i have two lanes of creative output:

external:

movement, the body, the party, release

internal:

grief, stillness, the aftermath, the marrow of it

what made it possible to take the next step wasn’t figuring out which version of me to put forward

but building a body of work big enough to hold all of it

i finally know how to hold both

if you’ve ever danced with me, cried with me, or just believe in independent music…
