His journey with Stay True Sounds began in 2021 after winning a remix competition for Kid Fonque & Jonny Miller’s “Somewhere” featuring Jaidene Veda. His debut EP Enchanted Meditation followed, introducing his sound to the label before he returned with In Motion in 2025, a collaborative album that further explored his love for jazz, soul and broken beat.
