Social BLKout on SoundBetter

Story driven music. Where vocal performance, songwriting and production all come together.

I primarily draw inspiration from the idea of "the individual". Although the world is more connected than ever before, this particular storyline within a collective is a heavy theme found in my music regardless of genre. In terms of sonics, the more grandiose and transcendent the feeling the better.
