3. We love your track ‘One’ tell us a bit about that track?
Inspired by the Melodic House & Techno genre, the goal was to create a song that could take the listener on a journey of introspection. The instrumental came together smoothly through diligent sound design, creative mixing, addictive arrangement, and catchy melodies. The result aligned with the initial objective; the music was mysterious, energetic, and inspiring. A key element was missing for the song to be finished; it needed a singer. We reached out to Sam Welch through a common friend, and Sam put together a top line that was a perfect match for the track; a strong vocal that guides the listener throughout the song. We decided to name it “One”, inspired by the journey of self-discovery.
