VANCE RODAY
AQUA OUT NOW
AQUA
The reason why I decided to call this project Aqua is because I feel like I’m experimenting with more sounds and styles and just letting my river of creativity to flow.
I was born into the zodiac of Cancer therefore my element is water and the title is also a reference to that. I’ve just been on this journey of finding myself after all the things that I’ve dealt with.
This project I really dived into issues and topics dealing with depression, anxiety, fears, relationships, creativity, dreams, desires, coping mechanisms and self love.
The things I’m talking about are my personal experiences, stories I’ve been told by a friend, a fantasy, a Netflix show or YouTube video! Whatever inspired me at the time
Sonically, I played around with sounds and topics I haven’t dabbled with before. I didn’t want to think too much about it, I wanted something real, relatable and somewhat fun at a point.
With that, showing the different parts of myself and personality. I’m a person who really keeps to themselves, so I show myself more in my music more than anything.
"There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness."
