What Child Is This

Icarae's music is as much about healing as it is about creating. A native of Missouri, he began his musical life at just five years old on the piano, later diving into electronic music with Fruity Loops Studio, Icarae [ick•er•eye] was born. He uses his antique baby grand piano and Ardour on Linux in his time away from work to explore the limits of synthesizers, a creative process deeply tied to his journey.

​Having bravely navigated struggles with alcoholism and mental health, Icarae's music is an open and honest reflection of finding peace and power in sobriety. His debut album, Polarized, is the result of this profound transformation.
