Underdogs is the voice we all need in this seemingly endless combat between mental health, harassment, manipulation, and abuse. The corruption that lurks inside each and every one of us and the darkness that follows close behind is simply what the Underdogs feast from; but with a fascinating twist.

Q: "If you could choose one superpower, what would it be?"
A: "Invisibility. Not because I think it's cool. Believe me, I frickin’ hate feeling invisible. I'm sure we all do. I chose it because I'd know how to use it. Feeling invisible makes me the perfect person to grant that superpower too, because I know how to navigate it and use it to my advantage."

Underdogs teaches our society to work together, shedding and evolving the ego self. It is a warning to our society that if we continue ignoring the serious issues we should be addressing, our greatest fears will become a nightmare reality for everyone.

A concept of corrupting the surface layers to reveal and expose hidden universal truths, Underdogs is a new kind of colored darkness, separate from the evil that lurks in the carnal self. There is no light without darkness, and likewise, no darkness without light. While the young artist's Soul Portal alias casts a shadow from the brilliant light, within that shadow Underdogs reminds us that we can move within our dark shadows, and shape it into a tool that wields an unstoppable force for good.

Underdogs offers a challenge, and if accepted, the underdogs of our our society today will find themselves mutating in ways they've never allowed before...

What is a Soul Portal?

A place of wonder. Crying and dancing at the same time. Intimacy, connection, raw emotion, and visualization. A means of bringing people together to heal.

Breathe in, breathe out. This is a portal into my soul.
What does yours look like? Euphoria? Sadness? Fear, worry, concern? Solicitude, laughter? This is your soul portal.

Soul Portal invites people to step through a gateway into their own, unique soul, opening the portal to consciousness, while finding a unique purpose, fulfillment, and connection to a higher power. We often struggle to communicate our thoughts and feelings- There's a reason; feelings aren't words. Sound can communicate things on very profound levels. Show them through art. Show them through audio. Invite them into your soul portal, and step into theirs. It doesn't matter what you believe in: God, Buddha, Allah, nothing, Ra, science, your highest/best self...it's all valid, and Soul Portal gives an offering to heal people through sound...with a unique, electronic twist.

This is my Soul Portal. What does yours look like?

About The Producer:
Inspired by artists (both big and small) such as Au5, CloudNone, Loosid, Akosmo, Virtual Riot, Midnight Kitsune, i_o, Porter Robinson/Virtual Self, Asteroid Afterparty, STRNGER,  deadmau5, & others, the young producer’s signature style incorporates emotional chord progressions, futuristic sounds, vowel-like basses, punchy/resonant snares, and experimental, cinematic sound design.

Currently, the universe has asked him, "Is your soul portal what you want it to be?", and he finds himself in a transitional living program. Despite the sudden change of events, the artist still creates in his heart and mind, dreaming of working towards joining labels such as  “Lost In Dreams”, "Monstercat", "Mau5trap", and "Rushdown", among others. He has been making music since he was 4 years old with his family's piano.

Soul Portal first discovered electronic music at a young age through Pandora radio. After hearing the iconic "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex, he fell in love with the futuristic sound. A few years later, he heard “Flight” by Tristam & Braken, released on the Monstercat label, for the first time while coming home from a mountain biking ride, and later found that many young producers were doing the same thing the professionals were. This was the spark waiting to ignite his passion for electronic music, and he challenged the question, "If they can do it, why can't I?"

Ever since then, he's been experimenting with countless genres, embracing chances to try new sound design techniques, shaping his signature sound. In the past years, he's participated in an official Monstercat remix competition, performed live at his high school prom, assisted at a small 4th of July event, and bought a Roland System-500 modular synthesizer. About 3 years ago, he started learning to DJ on the Roland DJ-202. Soul Portal continues to paint emotion with sound. 

Soul Portal's tracks sound identical to artists such as Porter Robinson (whom friends have said he looks strikingly similar to) the experimental Loosid, the legendary producer i_o who's influence has reached the far corners of the universe, and more familiar names such as Owl City, Coldplay, Martin Garrix, and David Guetta.

For his DAW, the young producer uses Logic Pro.
