About the latest single

'additive’ is my first officially released single. The song is a story about a relationship that became toxic. This is inspired by some of my friends’ experiences, evoking nostalgia and rage. It is mixed & produced by Tony Lai.

Stage name

I chose the name as an ironic reference to where I'm from. I was born in the place where (the real) Dracula spent his time ruling Wallachia, unlike the character from the novel taking place in Transylvania. I was surprised to see that the place is depicted in the netflix show 'Castlevania.' I am also fond of the emo vampire Twilight aesthetic, despite its unsophisticated story.

How I started

Got my first guitar on my 12th birthday. It was a classical nylon guitar worth about 20 bucks. I hated it, as I really wanted an electrical one so I can play loud riffs. I eventually got one 2 years later, and that’s when I decided I’ll dedicate my life to the craft of music. I am mostly self taught, having spent up to 10h every day practicing during my middle school years. 

I was 14 when I first played on an actual stage. I know most people are shy about their first performances, but I loved it. In the following years I was a member of multiple alternative rock bands from my hometown, and in most of them I was the youngest guy. I had a lot of fun having bandmates, but in the past couple of years I performed as a solo act in London, having more flexibility.
