Under their solo experimental-rap Project they have been able to play multiple Shows across the past 2 Years, such as opening for Lotic at Graveyard Shift, Schauspielhaus Zürich (April 2023) or playing support for Moin at Palace, St. Gallen (Feb 2024). In January 2023 they released their first EP, called “Ctrl me”, mixed by Rainy Miller.
"this project is the current state of a process between studies with sound synthesis and the searching for gender euphoric lyrical rhymes. The pictures of being submissive and hella cute.
Unsatisfactory interactions with sound and desperately redefining identity in order to keep up.
The music sounds like mmmhhhh pchhhh tschuuuuu etc. "
