I release music under the name Lost Alley—a dark pop project that blends minor-key progressions, layered synths, dramatic string textures, and breathy, haunting vocals. The sound is moody, immersive, and built to underscore stories of tension, resilience, and transformation.
The production style leans on:
- Emotional vocal dynamics (intimate to powerful)
- Dark, moody undertones
- Sweeping orchestral or synth layers
- Strong builds and atmospheric detail
Themes often explored: conflict, survival, memory, reinvention, longing.
Tempo Range: Mostly mid-tempo (80–100 BPM), ideal for emotional pacing.
Open to syncing existing tracks or creating custom music to fit your scene.
Let’s make something that sticks with people long after the credits.

Thanks. I appreciate that a lot. I am part of composing lounge but not directing lounge yet. I look forward to connecting with others in meaningful ways to help us all get to the next steps in our creative journey. So far people who have reached out seem genuinely invested in others.
