“‘Breathing Underwater’ is a reflection of reverence for the vastness of nature, an overwhelming force of which I’m only a tiny fragment. At the centre is the element of water, which for me is a symbol of calm and safety, yet also of isolation and numbness. This ambivalence mirrors the timeless inner journey toward self-reconciliation and wholeness. Underwater, everything feels different — like being suspended in a surreal state. To escape it, I must rise to the surface. Until then, I breathe underwater.”

– Calida Ray, 2025

On his new EP “Breathing Underwater”, Berlin singer, producer, and pianist Calida Ray continues to explore immersive worlds between R&B, ambient textures, electronica, and experimental jazz. Across seven new tracks, the 21-year-old retains the ethereal and playful quality of his 2024 debut album “Between Me And Myself” while further developing and maturing his sound.

The EP features collaborations with Kommerz fellow artist and longtime collaborator INDOME, Nigerian-American multi-talent osaremen, rising New York artist AWET, and local trumpeter Paolo De Jesus Maido.
