What is it about Synthwave we all love? For some, it's the nostalgia of a simpler time, for others it may be simply the analog sounds of Juno and Prophet synthesizers. For Arcadeland, its the memories of my childhood. I was born in 1980 in West Virginia and lived most of my childhood in Tennessee. The happiest moments of my life were growing up playing NES and Genesis, riding bikes, and playing with my friends in the neighborhood.
Video games are so much a part of what I represent as an artist and person, I wanted to make an album devoted to this part of my life. For me, Synthwave music reminds me of growing up listening to old Thomas Dolby Records, Playing Streets of Rage, and more than anything, being carefree.
Arcadeland, a testament to the part of the 80's I relate to the most, is meant to be happy. I want to put a happy, carefree music release into a modern world filled with uncertainty, resentment, and chaos. While the world may never be perfect, we can always take a break and remember what life is meant to be; Happy. I hope Arcade land takes you into a journey of peace, love, fun, and happiness.
