Having a body of musical work has always been a dream. I harboured this dream as far as i can remember back to my early years of writing songs and making music in 2009. In 2020 I set out on a journey to make my first EP. I already had songs ready for two projects.
Pursuit Syndrome
Reed & Sequoia
So how did (Inhibitions) come about? Well inhibitions was a project i never planned or expected. All the songs on the project are pretty new. The first time recording these songs was the first time i ever sang most of them as most part was written in the studio. I needed time to understand these songs myself. I needed time to learn where my heart was at, in the process of making these songs and to capture the imagery that my soul was projecting. The project is full of spontaneous projections of a part of myself that longs to be free from the bridles of modern society's geopolitical and religious norms and to allude to a deeply romantic experience with an unknown lover. The best part of being an artist is to hear your songs a hundred times before any one hears it. Times spent meditating on these lyrics in buses, trains and flights from Paris to Düsseldorf, with mixes of these songs locked on repeat. Long calls and sometimes even arguments with my producer about how i want each song to sound and feel to the barest detail. Long nights of brainstorming ideas to figure out the various effects and textures to give each song. I hate these songs as much as i love them. That's how confused my heart is but i guess art is just being a conduit of something bigger than ourselves.
So on the 26th of December 2022 I give you all my frenemy. The most toxic relationship that has ever happened to me. I let go of my inhibitions as i let go of a part of myself i've most loved. Like a baby, i wished you would remain in me but the world needs to see the face of love...
