Child of the Universe is an artproject inspired by the styles of Gorillaz, Empire of the Sun & Daft Punk. 'Bending with Poppy Dames' One or the most present themes in the life of the artist is the pull towards a larger presence in the world. The images that are come up when thinking about being in the “limelight” would morph into similar constellations as the Aurora Borealis or outer space phenomena, in the artists mind and in its early stages Bending conjured up feelings of driving a car. A song about the Aurora had been a desire for a long time so the writer decided to combine the aforementioned three themes: space, fame and cars. In the chorus there is a line about a “red shift”. Red shifting is a phenomenon that happens when anything gets too close to a blackhole. Fame, the artist says, is like a blackhole: “It's dark and mysterious. It's something I'm drawn to, but at the same time I know there's no return from.” 'Somewhere in Between with @KARTINI' I wrote this song because like many people I often find myself stuck inbetween social categories. I am binational, but because I don't have stereotypical features people often mistake my ethnicity. One of the first skills we learn when we grow up is how to name things. Labels can be helpful to simplify communication. Human identities are much more complex and cannot be restricted to labels. With this song I wanted to embrace diversity and the space in between categories.
