Based in Bangalore India, Popcorn Kid is a talented artist who entered the music scene with his albums “Newness” and “Inception”, offering a wide array of genre-bending sounds that would appeal to all kinds of music lovers. He grew up playing classical music and later fell in love with metal and rock music. Highly inspired by the 80’s movies, retro dance music, and nu-disco, he eventually discovered Synth-wave and knew that this is what he wanted to do.

After the release of his 1st album, Popcorn Kid collaborated with long time friend Noxigen, with whom he released his 2nd album, Inception. He also got him on board for the 3rd album. While in his first two albums, the artist explored the styles and themes of metal and cyberpunk, in his latest album, he creates a concoction of Synth-wave, TV music, 80’s film music, modern funk, Retrowave with a hint of R&B.

Talking about his latest album, Popcorn Kid states, “The writing of the album started around mid-October. After the general sound and vibe were established, 5 songwriters from Los Angeles hopped on board to collaborate on the songs. During the writing process, it slowly started becoming apparent that this one would be a concept album. It is heavily inspired by 80’s themes, tv, and film music and aims to take you back to the time the Rubik’s cube was hip.”
