BEASTIE

Greater London
 

BEASTIE is a producer-vocalist, blending alternative R&B, hip-hop, and electronic sounds. His Trinidadian and Tobagonian roots shape his music, bringing rhythm and storytelling into everything he creates. His latest project, 'SOFIA EP', fuses melancholic melodies with bold production, reflecting his journey as an independent artist. 'MARIA: Stories in Sound' will be a 4-track EP exploring BEASTIE's evolution as a producer-vocalist through vivid storytelling and live instrumentation. Collaborating with musicians and visual artists, he will push creative boundaries. The project will culminate in an immersive live showcase, connecting with fans and showcasing my growth as an independent artist.
