Enfnts Terribles

How would you introduce yourself to someone who isn’t familiar with you and your music?

I would describe my music as raw, layered, and ever-evolving.

You just released your new EP. What’s the main vision behind the project?

The Vision was solely focused on my sonic evolution even before my personal breakthroughs. I refer to this project as a manifestation project because I was continuously concerned with the future. I think my infatuation with futurism bled through beyond sonics into styling, visual identity, and the final result.

How would you describe the process of creating the EP?

It was a bit of a fever dream. I produced it through my graduation from college, and I definitely needed a place to pour all my emotions around change and stepping into adulthood while still riding the curves of youth. A lot of the messages in these songs are still revealing themselves to me and helping me through an incredibly fluid moment in time.

You use music to tell your stories. Which events have inspired you to start writing music?

So many. Love and the evolution of how it manifests in my life were themes I explored on this EP, as well as grief and loneliness on other tracks. I use music as a diary. It’s my place to be honest with myself, so when I sit down to write, wherever I’m at emotionally becomes the colors I paint my stories with.

What do you want to achieve with this project?

I really want this project to open doors, to bring opportunities to me that I couldn’t have dreamed for myself. I hope people hear it and want to collaborate with me.

If you could envision yourself somewhere in the near future, where would you be, and what would you do?

I’d like to be sitting in a new city that my music brought me to, reflecting on this journey so far and preparing for a new musical experience.
