    Lumini

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Launched in March 2022, Lumini is my creative outlet for polished “lofi” and
    beat-driven music. The project has grown steadily through releases with
    respected independent labels. Music under this alias has amassed over 15
    million streams on Spotify and has been featured on major editorial
    playlists across both Spotify and Apple Music.

    remind me

    Created in April 2023, remind me explores nostalgic and melancholy
    themes, transforming them into experimental compositions that defy genre
    conventions and resemble no other artist in the ambient space. Since its
    launch, the project has amassed over 15 million streams across streaming
    platforms and 200k videos on TikTok. Furthermore, in August 2025, remind
    me was featured in an album by Øneheart, perhaps the largest ambient artist
    of today, and Dean Korso, a grammy voting member. The album also
    features influential artists of electronic music history such as Moby, Au5,
    and Medasin. Even though the album was not selected, it was considered for
    Grammy nomination. https://www.twine.net/signin
