His sound can be described as ‘bedroompop’ combined with r&b, soul and hiphop, all sung in Ukrainian, in a silky falsetto style.

Their music is created first and foremost for live performances, and all songs are written in Ukrainian. All lyrical subjects and dark electronics carefully turn the feeling of existential crisis into unstoppable energy on the dancefloor.
