My musical journey started when I thought of converting my poems into songs. I started with the extremely talented vocalist Julia Nem. It was just a simple piano melody with some vocals. The song was devoted to the concept of war. One More Chance. (The second world war, especially the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, inspired me to write this song.) Then I released Escape with Amalia Aybusheva, who used the perfect beat and vocals for the song. Escape is a song about internal struggle, about how we all desire to escape from reality at some point, but we are forced to move on. The melody is more complex, the music more sophisticated. The music I used in Escape is actually Amalia's beat called Happy Without You. I loved the beat so much that I decided to use it in a song. Then I decided to make a song out of my poem Unsettled Bliss. Unsettled Bliss is a dark song, mainly about depression. I made the beat for this song myself, and Amalia Aybusheva provided the vocals. Then I released The World Versus Me, a rebellious rap song featuring male vocals by the talented Wojciech Mroczyński. Then a series of songs came out one after the other, from Physics (with Amalia) and I Wasn't Myself (with Julia) to It Was Not Real (with Sam Adler) and Greatness (with Kikoligo). My latest releases are The Absolute Apocalypse, Death, Stranded and No One Survives, the first three with Jenny Sabi and Tape Broz, and No One Survives with Amalia. My lyrics have changed, although they have remained negative and pessimistic (as everyone around me is too quick to point out), the music has improved as well (I think). The music I used in The Absolute Apocalypse was inspired by Marshmello's Come And Go; Death was inspired by Alan Walker and K-391's Paradise and Stranded was inspired by Alan Walker's On My Way. No One Survives is a song for which I independently produced the music (and wrote the lyrics), and used vocals by Amalia. No One Survives is a song about terminal illnesses, and how society singles out people with such diseases, instead of supporting them. I mainly write the lyrics, and sometimes produce the tracks. So without the help of the amazing vocalists and producers mentioned above, it wouldn't have been possible for me to release twelve original songs (listed below) and my debut album Unsettled Bliss. You can read more about the album here. Before signing off, I'll answer a frequently asked question. Why do I write negative lyrics? Well, I hear a lot of people (myself included) complaining how unfair their lives are, and my lyrics are aimed at connecting such people together, so that they realize that they are not alone in their sufferings and it is more or less the same story with everyone. - Arpan
