A Darker Side of Sound

Halloween 2025 - a special moment in my musical journey.

I performed at a unique celebration for Nura Kassoume and Aurin shop in Vienna marking the shop’s 22nd anniversary a beautiful night filled with creativity, community, and artistic expression.

For this occasion, I presented two tracks:
Soho Mannequin (released)
and Vampire Lust (currently still in development)

This performance was something different, an exclusive preview for those present, offering a live experience of another direction in my music.

A live premiere with dancers

An evening of collaboration.

Together with dancers Isabel, Monika & Jojo, we created a live showcase that brought the songs to life visually and emotionally. The performance was also preview of what’s to come, as they will feature in the upcoming music video.

It was important to me to share this moment before the official release to let the audience feel the energy of the piece in a raw, live setting.

A darker, deeper sound

Both tracks explore themes o entrapment, disillusionment, escape & transformation

They reveal a deeper, darker layer of my sound, something that also connects to the track from 2023 ‘Out Of Here’, but goes even further into emotional and atmospheric depth.

The response from the audience was incredibly encouraging. It felt like opening a new chapter and being met with real connection and curiosity.

Past creation - Present form

Interestingly, both Soho Mannequin and Vampire Lust were originally composed back in 2011.

Now, years later, they have been reworked, reshaped, and fully produced here in Austria - evolving into something that reflects where I am artistically today.

Part of a bigger story

These songs are part of an upcoming concept album…

The central theme moves from darkness into light, exploring contrast, inner shifts, and transformation through sound and storytelling.

More details on ‘Vampire Lust’ will follow as the track continues to develop in the studio….
