Look out for Restless Modern and the new track On and On which was co-produced Co-produced with Peter Thomas (P!nk, Betty Who, Allie X).
The 25 year-old Wisconsin-based indie artist released several singles that has garnered over 30 million streams on Spotify and were highlighted by Billboard, Lyrical Lemonade, MTV and Atwood. Playlist include Spotify’s Pop Rising, young & free, sad hour, and Good Vibes.
Restless Modern notes, “Some of the most difficult and important conversations in society grow stale and taboo over time. To combat this, “on and on” covers its thematically dark underbelly with a billowing presentation of glittery pop-plastic elements meant both to distract superficially from and contextually lean into its confrontation of gaslighting, manipulation, and abuse.

Neil Young has demanded for his songs to be pulled from Spotify because they host Joe Rogan’s Experience, a popular podcast. The folk singer wants Joe Rogan banned.
