Tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m an anonymous artist from Southern California, and I write music as a form of emotional processing. I’m drawn to the parts of ourselves we hide: grief, shame, isolation, trauma. Through my songs, I try to turn those feelings into something fragile and beautiful. I’ve always been an emotionally troubled person, so staying anonymous helps my social anxiety.
When did you develop a passion for music?
I’d like to say when I was a teenager around 14, but it wasn’t one moment … it was a slow unraveling. I started writing because I didn’t know how else to survive what I was feeling. Music became my safest space when I felt too broken to exist in the real world. It’s always been less about passion and more about necessity, like my brain needed somewhere to go, and this was the only door open.
Which artists did you listen to while growing up?
Growing up, I was drawn to artists who blurred the line between vulnerability and art, like Hikaru Utada, Björk, Radiohead, and Portishead. Their music taught me that sadness could be poetic. That
distortion, silence, and softness all had emotional weight. Those artists made me feel seen when nothing else did.
How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard you before?
It’s ethereal electronic music for people who feel too much and speak too little. Glitchy, broken, poetic. A sonic diary entry that was never meant to be read ranging from emotional pop ballads to ambient glitchwave laments. If you’re drawn to songs that feel like the thoughts that keep you up at 3am, you might understand what I’m trying to say.
What music have you recorded to date?
I’ve released several singles that reflect different emotional states and themes — including “Martyr,” “Nokoribi,” “The weight of the universe,” and “The House I Was Never Born In.” My debut album
“Monochrome” is out now and i just announced an album called “CRY” due out this summer. it’s a collection of songs that explore trauma, loss, and the quiet ache of existing.
Which artist do you enjoy listening to at the moment and do they influence your work?
Lately, I’ve been listening to artists like Yeule, Ethel Cain, Aimer, and even some underground Jelectronica. Their willingness to be both beautiful and broken at the same time resonates deeply with
me. I don’t directly try to emulate anyone, but I do absorb the emotional atmospheres they create.
Who would your dream collaboration be with?
Honestly, collaborating with someone like Hikaru Utada would be life-changing not just because of her legacy, but because of how deeply personal her writing feels. I’d also love to work with someone like Arca or Yeule, artists who aren’t afraid to be emotionally raw and sonically experimental.
What are your plans for the future?
I want to keep creating music that speaks to the people who feel invisible. I’m not chasing fame, I’m chasing connection. I want to release more songs that go deeper into the themes I care about:
grief, emotional isolation, the beauty in sadness. If even one person feels understood because of something | made, then I’m doing what I was meant to do.
