This marks my 4th year of ZEROSUM.

A few months ago, I made a commitment to finally take marketing my music seriously, and I’m absolutely ecstatic on how it’s turned out.

Special thank you to and for early convos that helped catalyze this journey, .southworth for sharing incredible insight on how to grow as an independent artist, to my artist friends for sharing their insights, and to myself for putting countless hours into studying this new avenue.

And of course, the biggest thank you to all of you who’ve listened to my work and supported me on my journey thus far. It means the world to me 🖤

To another great year! ✨

WE HITTING THE MF ROAD 💨

So—back in April, I had the pleasure to perform for Kaijucore’s southeast leg of their US tour. was hands down one of the most fun, most stylish event series I’ve ever played for (not to mention run by a fantastic person). I’m ecstatic that they reached back out to me to do it again, but this time also…this will be my first ‼️‼️‼️ out of state show! In Daaaaallas! This is a big milestone in my journey. Dallas fam, come through!

Better yet, I’ll be performing with my good friend whom I’ve been music pen pals with for years, since my first year of producing music in 2018. We’ve been sending tracks back and forth for years and it’s crazy to see how much we’ve grown. This feels very symbolic to share the stage with my brother who I’ve grown alongisde. And we’ve grown into MONSTERS.

Both Orlando and Dallas are gonna be an unforgettable time. Why? Because Kaijucore puts so much love and care into these events because of their genuine love for the culture—and we too rise to the occasion. And I know you know how to get down.

Hope to see you there. Grab tix in my bio ✌️

YOOO THEY MADE ME INTO A POKEMON GAME. ZEROSUM PURPLE 😈 OR ZEROSUM ORANGE ☣️? WHICH ONE YOU GETTING?

Or if you a real one YOU KNOW THAT GETTING BOTH IS THE MOVE 💸🕺💃

So without further shouting I’m extremely excited to announce that exactly one month from now, I’ll be going on mini tour with Kaijucore () for their biggest tour to date—Club Kaiju Spring Tour 2022!

April 1, I’ll be performing in Tampa at TK Lounge () alongside and !

April 2, I’ll be performing in Orlando at The Geek Easy (.bar) alongside , , and !

I’m incredibly excited to be part of Kaijucore’s vision of otaku nightlife. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge weeb, and anime, rhythm games, etc. are instrumental to not just my sound, but to my life, and I’m not shy to express that enthusiasm. I’m beyond stoked to throw down for the community in a spectacular fashion.

When I was 10, I photoshopped Sharingan onto myself to use as my Myspace profile pic. When I was in middle school, I attempted to grow out my hair like Sasuke Uchiha and was devastated that I didn’t look as daddy as him. but it’s ok he a bitch and i’m cooler than him now.

What does this tell you about me? It tells you that I’m a filthy, disgusting weeaboo. A weeb, for short. And you know what? We’re the best, this event will be crawling with them, and you bet your bottom dollar that it’s going to be fu***ng sick.

I’m excited to announce I’ll be returning to THE BLACK MARKET] at Revolution Live/Stache for KIRBIICON on April 23 ✨ music, vendors, Smash tournaments, drag shows, and more. I’m going to play the hardest tracks fit for a DDR world final. Or German dungeon rave. Your pick.

See you there 😘

Noisia

Legends. A prime example of how to lead a healthy, prolific career. Thank you for your service Noisia. We're looking forward to that final year.

NOISIA 2000-2020

After 20 years of being Noisia, we are ready to become something new.

We’ve all grown, as people and as musicians. For almost 20 years, all three of us wanted pretty much the same, but we’ve developed, and realized that nowadays we want different things. If we all wanted the same different things, it would make sense to do that as a different Noisia, but we want different different things.

That’s why we’ve decided that for us, and our listeners, it’s the most honorable and respectful choice to put an end to this chapter, and start the next one. Noisia has always been about making as few compromises as we can. When Noisia becomes a compromise in itself, it's time to move on.

We’ve tried to realign ourselves over the last few years to keep the wagon on the rails, but the reality still is: we are not who we were before, and the time of doing everything together because we all want the same is behind us.

Noisia is a game that we’ve completed. There’s very little left for us to explore together. Noisia is a beautifully consolidated shape. And we want to leave Noisia in that shape, rather than keep chiselling at it, with the risk of ruining it. A good artist should know when an artwork is finished.

What the future holds for us, we honestly don’t know. We still have our studios in the same space, and we will run into each other every day. We are still friends. We will still make music together in some shape or form.

We want to celebrate our 20th year and the past 20 years together with everyone who’s been involved and made it all possible. We want to go out with a blast and say goodbye to our fans properly, so that we can look back and say “it was an amazing era, and we finished it in style”. We want to do one last year of touring DJ shows, one last year of Noisia Radio, and finish and release the music that we’ve been working on together.

This was a very hard decision to make, but we thought about it for a long time and it feels like the only right thing to do for us without breaking what we’ve built.

We are very proud of what we’ve done. We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity we were given to share our music and vision with so many people, and we feel greatly indebted to all those who helped us along the way. We’re excited about making the last year as Noisia as memorable as we can, and we’re curious to see what will come after.

TL;DR: We’ve decided to stop being Noisia at the end of 2020.

:D

IAMZEROSUM

ZEROSUM's ethereal, classical-inspired composition and ruthless, futuristic production craft a dynamic world that bridges the old with the new, taking the listener on a journey through stories of demons, divinity, and triumph.

ZEROSUM began his musical journey at 6 when he discovered trance and techno through early 2000s bootleg compilation CDs. He was completely enamored by the sounds and melodies that seemingly came from a distant world. He soon after began learning piano at 9 and was deeply influenced by the works of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Liszt. Finding wonder in dark, poetic pieces, he would rush home to learn the pieces from the artists he admired. He would lose himself to the haunting yet beautiful stories these composers would tell with just their notes.

He participated in Myspace's renaissance - it was his first glimpse into connecting with others in the digital space. He was completely fascinated by the sounds that people all over the world were creating, and grew a deep connection to these artists who made his days richer. Soon after, he discovered heavy bass music through the 2010's EDM revolution and grew a love for aggressive, hard-edged music.

All the while, he developed a deep love for stories of adversity. He was mesmerized by the trials and tribulations of the characters he read about and their resolve to persevere even in the face of insurmountable adversity. He strives to tell these stories through his music.
