If you are reflecting on supporting me and my music, please consider buying my music on Bandcamp! You will get a digital download of the music you bought and support me directly.

Streaming my stuff is cool and all, but for me it almost feels like robbing: My tracks are not valued enough on the other platforms, that are willingly flooded with ai-slop to pay even less to the artists.

Greetings fellow humans, Zadreed here!

I've been producing and publishing music since 2018. Around 2022 I decided to focus on handmade synthpop & retrowave. Every track you will hear comes from the heart, built with my beloved synthsounds, carefully curated samples, vocals and with my very own two hands. Just real music for real humans.

AI-free?

I produce entirely AI-free, because music isn't just backgroundnoise to make fast money from on TikTok: it's imperfection, struggle and joy. It's the hum of a synth, the tiny mistakes, soft clipping, the hours long sessions and the effort taken that made a track make you feel something. That's where the magic lies. Not in algorithms. Not in trends. Not even in followers or loudness. I just start to miss the human touch in everything, so i try to do something about it. Of course I had my experiments with AI generated cover arts and videos but at some point it all felt odd. That's why got back to use cover art by real artists, which are generous enough to spread their creations for free and I am looking forward to give something back as soon as i can. For now, it's just a place in the credits.

For those who allow themselves to feel!

This music is for those who are willing to connect deeply with tracks that may be shorter or longer. For those who may feel what I felt when I wrote these melodies and carefully selected the right acapellas to go with them. If you're one of those people, I kindly invite you to join my Club Zadreed. Not as a fanbase, but as a community of peaople who still value the human touch in music. Here you you'll experience new tracks first, at least one week before the world hears them. You'll be part of the journey, the struggles and the small victories behind every song on my way.

Creativity is the ability to bring something into existence from nothingness, from just our imagination and to express ourselves through that creation is what defines us as human beings. In an increasingly automated world, it may be one of the last true remnants of our humanity. This precious gift is worth cherishing and protecting.

Together, we keep humanmade music alive! The feeling that music is more than just sound that streams in the background: it's expression, connection, vulnerability and heart.
