The Story
I have made music using vocals, guitar, harmonica, lap steel guitar, and ukulele, but since childhood, I have also been fascinated by the sounds of synthesizers and drum machines. Around 2020, I started experimenting with making synth-pop music, and in 2021, my first decent attempts were born.
In 2022, I released my first single, where two pop-rock songs I had written in the early 2000s were given a new form as synth-pop versions. In 2024, I finished the third track, originally from 2001. My next goal is to write new music directly in the synth-pop form.
In making music, I strive for strong melodies and atmospheric, emotive arrangements. I enjoy solid drum sounds, distorted fuzz basses, soft harmonic pads, and robust lead melodies. I also love rich vocals and vocal harmonies, which seem to find their way in all of my songs.
