His music is very creatively crafted telling “Life stories with mad auto tune to get out the pretty melodies” as he said in our interview. Mostly painting pictures of dark feelings with very vibrant drums and beautiful melodies.
His musical influences include Lil Wayne, Future, Drake, Childish Gambino, the Weeknd and PARTY NEXT DOOR. He writes all his own music contrary to the ghost writing trends of the genre as of late.
