“During the pandemic my studio partner Axel Latta and I were asked to produce content for a TV station. The musical genre they asked for was lounge music. So we started to work on it and had very much fun during the production process.

This is why after the closure of this assignment we decided to continue to work together on it. 60 tracks were being generated during a time when the world was completely closed off. After the pandemic, Sony Music has shown great interest on the Cosmic Soul Project and has signed all the tracks.”
