HAPPY SPOOK SEASON / BANDCAMP FRIDAY!

I just took part in my first ever Game Jam for 'Chicaghoul 2025'! (& 'Newgrounds Spooktacular')

'BLOODLUSTERS' is a tower defense style game where you (the ghosts) defend your castle from vampires!

I'm so stoked to have been a part of this project!

I can be your VGM Techno Cover angel OR your Summertime Indie-pop Electronic devil...

2 new releases today! 1 on each major alias!

Check out both releases below for two completely different (but equally hype) vibes!

I'm so massively proud to be a part of this project. I simply wouldn't be the musician I am today without the countless compositions that bring FF soundtracks to life. My earliest attempts at music production can be traced back to trying my best to recreate songs from the games.

Catch my latest remix for Amélie Swann's song 'Problems'!

Streaming options available here: song.link/tq4fngc4gqkvr

P.S. still been having weird issues with distributing to Spotify the past few times I've released something. This happening to anyone else lately? Never been an issue for me before!

Sorry for the lengthy read, but 2024 was honestly filled with so many milestones for me, and I probably forgot to include some significant ones on here even!

YOOO! Ya'll have seriously been running up those plays! Tysm for the support. We're so close to getting 1K streams on release day!

Help Cosmicosmo and I get that 1K so we can actually get paid for our release (like it's supposed to be to begin with!)

Tomorrow 'cosmicosmo' & I have our long awaited first official collaborative track 'Holographic Kiss' dropping on 'HyperPop Records'! This track means a lot to me & feels like a full circle moment, as Chris & I met online, then IRL shortly after co-forming the HyperPop Records label, back in 2016...

Also I noticed sometimes as I hit the 'forward' button, it seems to hit a glitch of some sort and re-freshes the page as blank with no media player or any buttons or anything. O_O

WELP!!!

Looks like I'm going to (be performing at) #MAGFest 2025 after all kids!

MORE DETAILS ON THIS SOON!
