Hey, I’m Daniel Lux Valentino.

I make music when I don’t know what else to do with everything I’m feeling. A lot of the time, it starts when I’m overwhelmed—angry, sad, confused—and then something clicks. The chords, the words… they start to speak for me.

I’m not here to be perfect or follow trends. I’m here to be real. If my music sounds like a soft storm, that’s because it is. I hold a lot in, but when I let it out, it becomes sound—sometimes tender, sometimes haunting, sometimes messy, but always honest.

I’m rooted in earth, in culture, in emotion. My sound pulls from pop, indie, soul, Latin influences—and whatever I’m going through at the time. Every song is like a piece of my diary, just dressed up in melody.

If you’ve ever felt like you were too much or not enough, I got you. You’re not alone.

Eclectic experimental music made on iOS.

Seawave is the name I’ve given my style of music as it combines elements of seapunk, chillwave and vaporwave. I’m also influenced by various hip hop styles, trip hop, house, synthpop/synthwave, IDM and future bass. Musical artists who influence me include Washed Out, Tycho, Boards Of Canada, Slow Magic, Snail’s House, Gold Panda, Com Truise and Vince Dolphin.

I am conceptually inspired by seapunk/vaporwave imagery, sea/space exploration, the avant-garde, minimalism, hauntology and Japanese aestheticism. My interests include linguistics, chemistry, aesthetics, animation, world-building and, of course, music. It is also noteworthy to mention that I am a brony since 2012, an otaku since 2016, a lifelong music fanatic and a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ since 1999.

Enjoy listening and God bless!
