SELF

 

SELF is an Urban Artist from the collective 'WRNG CRWD' born and raised in Toronto, Canada expressing trials & tribulations through a multitude of styles and cadences (Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz, Neo Soul & Lo-Fi). Inspired by the musical selection chosen by his mother, and his peers, a passion and love for music was born. The experiences and knowledge he gained from the West End of the city introduced him to the many ways in which sound can both shape and influence the way our body and mind perceive things. After the discovery of "lyrical breakdowns," SELF; found fascination and beauty in the art of Lyricism. Studying, memorizing, and reciting verses from some of his favorites, he began to create his own versions of the songs he loved.

From his first single Moonlight to his earliest project Roads , and his many collaborations with LOWERCASE & Be, SELF displays his love for the duality through somber and warm melodies as he experiments with the sound spectrum of music.

Influenced by the arts and sounds of various artists; Isaiah Rashad, Mick Jenkins, Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, Yasiin Bey, Joey Bada$$ & Odd Future, SELF brings a reflective and immersive experience to his craft by constantly seeking to connect with the deeper parts of humanity.

"Live performance and replay value matter most to me. I want there to be new things to discover when you go back and listen to songs, Old feelings to be remembered and new perspectives to be created whenever people listen to my music. These are the experiences I have with the songs that I love, so it's only natural to want that for everyone else. It shouldn't always just be about feeling good, but being better." - SELF
