Born in the suburbs of Detroit, he is a producer, DJ, and sound artist based in Mexico City, after having lived in New York City. While living in New York, he founded the Human Pitch label with Simisea. An EP released on Human Pitch caught the attention of UK labels Banoffee Pies and Wisdom Teeth, which released his 12" "Slip" on Banoffee Pies in 2020 and his debut solo album "Sculpturegardening" in 2021 on Wisdom Teeth. His debut solo album, Sculpturegardening, was released on Wisdom Teeth in 2021. Playing the cello alongside modular synths, he adopted an approach that blends gardening-inspired compositions with sculpture-inspired textures. The accompanying multi-channel sound installation was exhibited at the Sculpture Garden in Mexico City. More recently, he returned to the club format with Unknown-Untitled with Kellen303 in New York City and Grid with Nico in Mexico City, and collaborated with 3024 on the End of a Line or Part of a Circle EP, to be released in 2023. He is also a member of the multinational progressive percussion trio Asa Tone, a collaboration between Indonesian-American artist Melati ESP, also a member of Young Magic, and the anonymous project Kaazi, which releases on 100% silk. His debut album, Temporary Music, completed in 10 days in Jakarta in 2020, was released on Leaving Records. The album was named one of the best electronic music albums of the year by Music Magazine, and was a hot topic of conversation here in Japan. In 2021, Yu Su commissioned him to produce "Live at New Forms," a stereo document of a remote digital 32-channel performance for Vancouver's New Forms Festival, which was made during the quarantine and blockade caused by the Corona disaster. Live at New Forms, a stereo document of a remote digital 32-channel performance, was released on Leaving Records. He is also a resident DJ at The Lot Radio with his partner in Human Pitch, Simisea.
