This talented producer has emerged from the background and taken on a new title, singer.

He has an old school sound with songs like "Valentine," and switches it up with an alternative fused sound with the track, "Quicksand." His song "Gibberish" in which he sings indistinguishable words (gibberish) over a slow beat using synthesized effects is innovative and one of a kind.
