VeeAlwaysHere Releases “other side”

Diana 2 years ago

Producer, Songwriter and Recording Artist, VeeAlwaysHere, is exploring a new side to his creative process with the release of “other side”. As an artist who doesn’t allow himself to be pigeonholed into one type of genre, the release of “other side” speaks to that. As a self-taught and self-sufficient musician.

This was my first time producing and writing a record like this. Many people in the industry told me to just pick one type of sound and stick with it; but as a music consumer myself, I generally do not gravitate towards those types of artists. I want to challenge the industry standards and have fun with every record I create.

The track “other side” is inspired by the likes of throwback Harry Styles and The Weeknd. A song meant for all the hopeless romantics. “This song is telling a similar story to a few animes that I’ve watched recently. It’s a story we’ve all heard before, but they always seem to bring me joy as a viewer and a hopeless romantic myself. The story of a socially awkward character who falls in love with the “popular” girl, and over time she sees something great in him and they fall in love”.

VeeAlwaysHere continues ““other side,” for me, symbolizes this completely different life she is living, a whole different world. And while I know we’re not meant to be together, I believe in this trophy happy ending and I’m already “packing my bags” to go move to that “other side” and do my best to fit in just to be with her.”

The release of “other side” is just a taste of what VeeAlwaysHere has prepared for his upcoming EP, ego: playlist I. The EP will be released by September 30th. This upcoming EP was a way to prove and challenge himself towards becoming as versatile of a producer, songwriter and artist VeeAlwaysHere can become.

Moreover he states, “Not only did I want to let go of my usual writing and producing habits, but also sounds, subject matter and styles that I generally gravitate towards in my process. This project is all about me being entirely outside of my comfort zone, and the title EGO symbolizes the idea of me being comfortable in a variety of different genres as a musician. EGO is about the music artist that I want to be and have always envisioned myself being one day.”

About VeeAlwaysHere

Hailing from Siberian Russia, VeeAlwaysHere always had a great passion for music, and a heavy influence from American Pop music. The ability to tell a story in its most vulnerable and raw way moved him despite the heavy language barrier. As a child, VeeAlwaysHere pushed through the language barrier to write songs. However because he couldn’t speak English – they were initially just gibberish.

Having mastered the English language in a mere 2 and a half years, VeeAlwaysHere is now a self-taught musician. He handles his production, writing, recording and mixing. “From start to finish the entire song is my finger print all throughout. I really like to focus on an emotion or a feeling as a starting point of any record.”
