The Criminal EP started during the tough winter of 2020 during the pandemic. I hadn’t produced for a couple months before that which was the longest stretch I’d gone without producing since I started in 2017. The songs were a way to keep sane and were very introspective but had a cohesive feel to them that made me realize they could form my debut project. As 2021 rolled around and things started opening up the EP took on a new meaning and the songs became a celebration of the reopening of the world. A celebration of friends, parties, dancing, life and everything we missed during the pandemic Thank you Jadū Dala for believing in and releasing the EP, @threepete for creating a visual world for the EP with me, @funklord.vhs for mixing and mastering it, @_alliiiiiiiiii @dkimprojects for the incredible PR, and my awesome management team for always believing in me & doing everything they can to push my project forward (@aariellenyc @alexenglishgnb @cryostatik.msi). And thank you to all my friends and listeners who’ve already started streaming before the full EP is out <3
