I get excited when I work with inspiring people like Kofi! I’m very conscious of who I work with as well as what they represent, and it feels good to collaborate alongside a world class volleyball player/ rapper/ singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer/engineer and extraordinary being. This duet is the type of r&b music that I used to daydream and fall in love to. Similar to early 2000s hits like Ja Rule, JLO, Ashanti.

HOLD ME DOWN feat. Kofi

SELFISH isn’t a song. It’s more of a tale. It’s a relatable story about shifting from a conventional people-pleasing attitude toward one that is founded in self-respect and the establishment of boundaries. It was my way to redemption; to make up for all the times I gave up myself simply for wanting to feel loved by somebody else

In the works for the last three and a half years, Intropy (Introspective-Entropy) is a deep dive into the interworking of Ian’s artistic soul — chaotic and uncontrollable like the world around him. A stylistic melting pot of sounds and sonics, due in big part to Ian’s unique influences, create a project sounding unlike anything else coming out of the Bay Area. This album is a journey that leaves the listener realizing that the only way to control one’s life is to accept being out of control — to live in Intropy.

This track kinda sounds like how an oatmeal raisin cookie tastes like. Idk if you like oatmeal raisin, but I like how it tastes lol. The loop was constructed with my guitar, a tremolo pedal, a boost pedal, and a loop pedal. I improvise over it. I got the one and only Pablo Lopez on the drums keepin it 1 hunnid fasho. This shit grooves. Only listen if you down with the groove. Pablo raw as hell.

Ian Santillano pronounces his last name like this: San - Till - Yeah - Know. The bonafide alternative singer-songwriter-guitarist blends deeply personal lyrics with a folk meets rock meets funky meets soul meets whatever inspires him now. Ian is if John Mayer and Thundercat had a Filipino American baby who were raised by Yebba and Faye Webster.
