Tine Grgurevič (born in 1983 in Ljubljana), who goes by the name Bowrain, is a Slovenian composer, pianist, and music producer. Since 2014, when his debut album Far Out was released, Bowrain has been fascinating audiences with his unconventional music, which combines piano, composition, vocals, DJing and producing. This genre-bending music extends from classical and jazz to ambient, electronica, ethno and indie pop. This album was followed in 2017 by Distracted: a substantively engaging piece of music that responds to the challenges of that time’s political (Saudade, Asil, Refugee) and social issues (Time, Continuum, Home), with the piano at the heart of the album’s intimacy. In January 2020, Bowrain offered up a grandiose musical project entitled 2020 Seconds Alive, that envisioned as a journey through his life and musical outposts, with an emphasis on his collaboration with the South African band The Brother Moves On. This project was strongly influenced by Bowrain’s one-month residency in Johannesburg in December 2019. In 2022, Bowrain released two collaborative albums, Not Exactly Lost and BLOOM, which he created with musician and painter Luka Uršič - KALU and the multimedia artist JAŠA.
In April 2023, he released a solo album entitled Heal Me, which was recorded and mixed by Simon Goff in Berlin’s Vox – Ton studio. In addition to his full-length albums, he has also released several singles and EPs and composed music for works in the fields of visual arts, performing arts, and theater. He performs internationally, most often in Europe, but has also performed in the United States and South Africa. Bowrain’s live performances are delightfully unpredictable. Sometimes he appears with the accompaniment of a trio, a small orchestra or a choir, while in other cases he appears alone at the piano, with or without electronics.

“That’s why this wonderful album, is healing in nature and it’s no surprise that the trackHeal Me closes it. It’s as if you slowly enter the space opened by the piano pastoral, as a simple expression of strengthening the spirit and unwavering optimism when it comes to people, nature, vivid glowing colours, blue sky, hills and valleys, birdsong and joyful children’s chirping. All the way to love.”
- Miroslav Akrapović (Odzven) about the album Heal Me.

“Composer Tine Grgurevič drifts effortlessly between avantgarde jazz, pop and electronic music with a keen sense for minimalism and clarity that distinguishes his style across genres” - Eric Moses

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process (you) do not become a monster.  And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” -Friedrich Nietzsche 
 
War torn from past and present battles of mental illness and addiction, the monsters are very real and the abyss is a current state of reality for MXMS, short for “Me and My Shadow." Comprised of singer Ariel Levitan and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Dawson,  the self-produced duo from New York City and small town Oklahoma creates their own musical genre “Funeral Pop” fusing classic melodic songwriting with dark unfiltered chaos driven by a thousand forms of fear.     
 
Me and My Shadow pendulum swing from raw piano and voice to an expansive pallet of dark instrumentation, pulsing analog synthesizers and a crushing rhythm section layered around Ariel’s haunting delivery.   Focusing on movements of emotional trauma and taboo metaphoric expression, the brutal honesty of MXMS leaves an open invitation for listeners' own stories rise to the surface.    
 
Their deubt EP Funeral Pop I  includes previous singles “Paris,” “After Night,” and “Gravedigger,” which garnered attention from Suicide Sheep, Earmilk, KCRW, and Spotify editorial playlists including Chill Vibes, Alternative Beats, Sludge, Just Chill, Fresh Finds, and Indie Darlings as well as the Topsify's Indie Mixtape playlist. “Paris” also hit #1 on Hype Machine the first week of release, and MXMS has received press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, NestHQ, Rolling Stone, Fader and many others.
