My new single Hardware is out today!

This track was inspired by a series of uniform TV commercials that once infuriated me in a New York hotel room—commercials that cleverly hooked into our deepest emotions and insecurities. In essence, the song is my observation of our daily search for stability in an endless rat race, where we are sold our own suffering and slowly trade our humanity, piece by piece, for cold machinery.

To bring this concept to life visually, I designed and animated a spinning gear mechanism for the official lyric visualizer—making the visuals a direct extension of the track’s electronic sound.

Excited to finally announce that my debut album EFFORTS will be released on November 13th.

I’ve spent the past few years diving deep into the music and poured my heart and soul into this collection of songs — in my home studio, in the recording studio, on my bike, and during every experience in between. It was a tender and intense process to shape this work, from a first fleeting idea to everything that is here now – my efforts.

Second single ‘Hardware’ out September 25

Pre-save on Spotify

The lyric visualizer will also be on YouTube from that day.

I’m really look forward to sharing this with you.
