I write songs, record them, and play them on a stage once in a while. Thanks for listening to the tunes - you&#39;re nothing short of the best. Much love ❤️

Now here&#39;s the official bio if you&#39;re looking for it...

Semi Athletic&#39;s specialty comes in the form of impressionistic songwriting paired with tasteful production and guitar riffs, otherwise known as &#34;the tone zone&#34;. As a Canadian who grew up in Prague that calls Alabama a third home, his output is a synthesis of time spent digging through record crates around the world and working in Muscle Shoals recording studios.

The upcoming album “Try Hard” (May 2023) was self-recorded and produced at Sun Drop Sound. With a refined artistic voice and vision, the album features introspective acoustic songs with twinkling keyboards next to full-out rock songs with playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.

His music video &#34;Smoke Alarms (Trampoline Dunk Contests) is nostalgic for middle-school garage bands with amps turned to 10 and deny the existential angst of being twenty-something.

The debut &#34;Fridays I Wear Silk”, recorded at Portside Sound, features cornerstones of the Shoals&#39; music community.

Live performance highlights: opening for John Paul White at The Wise Hall and TV appearance on Televize Seznam.
