Born in the quiet suburbs of a small town, in the vibrant era of the 1980s, my heart beat to the rhythm of neon lights and synthesizers. While the world around us evolved, I found solace and inspiration in the nostalgic melodies that defined my youth.

My passion manifested in the form of synthwave music - electronic compositions that echo the neon-lit streets and the cinematic dreams of the '80s. Each beat, each melody is a testament to my deep connection to the era I hold dear.

Big fan of Baby Audio

I make music using Udio AI. I do electronic instrumentals in various subgenres, such as synthwave, chillwave, chillsynth, synthpop, and EDM. A lot of my songs tend to have dynamic highs and lows, but sometimes they're totally chilled out.

Music is the greatest human invention, the only language that speaks to us all. It would be a shame not to share my share. Just for fun, just for mere survival of one man's mind. Thank you for listening!
