about

Sofasound is the kind of artist who is radically open with his audience, and for them, this establishes a deep bond with not only his sound, but also his story as an artist.

From releasing with prominent labels such as bitbird and Chillhop Music, to composing for video games like League of Legends, Black Desert Online, and Session, the name Sofasound echoes far and wide in the producer community. However, a few years ago the Miami-based musician had a devastating encounter with misfortune and for him, everything would change. He started to experience an ongoing battle with chronic pain and gastrointestinal health issues. This not only left him in and out of hospitals, but also on/off his death bed. As he was gradually losing a sense of self he was simultaneously losing meaningful relationships – in short, it was an incredibly difficult period in John’s life.

This chapter and the journey after inspired the dual EP turned out album Forget About Me (pt 1, tracks 1-5), I've Grown (pt 2, tracks 6-10).

It was in the beginning of thaat period when the tracks for Forget About Me EP were created, and ultimately it serves as a sonic snapshot of that period. Then, he needed to evolve as a person in order to deal with all the pain and it truly reflects in his music, especially in the lead single “Searching for Me”. The tracks carry the essence of Sofasound’s while elegantly decorated in multi-colored electronic textures that are bound to take the listener on an emotive journey.

While pt 1 (Forget About Me) was created as a catharsis to cope with all of the anxiety and pressure, part 2 (I’ve Grown) portrays Sofasound’s journey of self-discovery not only as an artist but also as an individual. During the creation of the project His health gradually blossomed while his anxiety withered with the acceptance of what’s lost. These changes contributed to his creative process immensely. The single “Into the Night” reflects a calm, introspective mood towards the listener thus setting the tone for what’s to come throughout the EP. He’s joined by long-time collaborator Floro on “Horizon” and thematically this is a nod to the close friends who have stuck with him, and sonically it’s brimming with a dreamy sense of optimism.
