I Like The Way That You Hold Me

Heart & soul covered with vintage sound machines

"Is it just me or were the 80s just sunnier and brighter than the world today ?﻿ I close my eyes and wish myself back to those days of Miami Vice and Magnum P.I., back to neon light cafés, mixtapes and so much more..."

Born at the end of the 60s I came of age during the flowering time of the 80s and my fond memories of those years deeply shaped me musically and are reflected in my songs. By using software emulations of vintage synthesizers and with a vast imagination, I am creating music that allows listeners to travel back to the 1980s.

A time of excitement and new ideas, filled up with new music and lifestyles never heard and seen before. My music draws from all the popular sounds of the era, including New Wave and Synthpop, all combined into a one of a kind retro listening experience - being a tribute to a stunning lost decade.

For fans who share my nostalgia, these songs bring back the bliss of the golden neon age. They are my loving homage to the 80s and will keep the spirit alive.

Passionné d'électro de synthwave et d’ambiance année 80's j'aime également plein d'autres influences !  - Passionate about electro, synthwave and 80's ambience, I also like a lot of other influences !
