"We're All Aliens!"

I'll get into why I said that but let's start with a bit about me. I was born in 2005 and raised in Greece but like much of my generation, I grew up so online that I'm practically bilingual and thus make music in English. I've been writing raps in my notebooks since the 5th grade but only begun recording and releasing music around the Summer of 2021, after getting into producing in 2020 partly thanks to the COVID lockdowns.

I often use other people's beats, but the fact that I produce many of my own songs often gives me a level of flexibility that most artists simply don't have access to, and that, along with my outstanding songwriting and out-of-the-box creative vision is what I believe sets me apart.

My inspiration is derived from a wide range of styles and genres, spanning lyrical hip-hop to digicore and while I enjoy too many artists to name, I would consider Eminem, Quadeca, brakence, Khary, midwxst, osquinn, and Tyler the Creator to be my main influences.

For me, singles vary widely in subject matter and style, but when it comes to albums I'm all about structure. My 2022 debut "Diary of a Lonely Kid", along with its subsequent deluxe edition "Last Page" which released exactly one year after it, explores unrequited love while the subsequent album "Wrong Planet" addresses a profound lack of fitting in as well as the highs and lows that come with it, all through the metaphor of being an alien.
