Combined with an aesthetic that syncs well with Gen-Z, he truly brings something new to the contemporary indie scene. With roots in Chile, Varas grew up in a small town called Götene in Sweden. At the age of 12, he started to play guitar after being introduced to Led Zeppelin by his father. At the time worked as a choreographer and dancer, participating in various musicals, Varas desire to be on stage came early. At the age of 15, Varas moved to Gothenburg, where he began to create his own musical space by producing hip-hop beats. In the years that followed, he continued to develop as a producer, but with the guitar as the main instrument, it was only natural that the production became more and more organic. It all took off from there. Musically, Varas deals in short, solid, almost-pop songs, but pop songs that aren’t afraid to stray into unexpected areas. Taking influences from classic 70s rock, punk, hip-hop, jazz, soul, and anything else that catches his attention. Whose signature sound reflects a multifaceted artist – who carefully puts together a mix with references ranging all the way from Queen and Rolling Stones to Tyler, the Creator, and Kanye West. With the release of his newest single “New Light”, he projects an incredible sound that will definitely captivate your attention. Beginning with bright instrumentation leading onto his smooth and ear-catching vocals he completes the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about an honest slow-burner detailing the frustrations of timings in life being less than ideal and in turn forcing you to see yourself in a new light. Slightly melancholic, the single starts off tentatively, before morphing into a boppy, candid yet catchy tale. To the vocals and production, this single will certainly have you vibing and possibly relating to the lyrics. Being just perfect for a drive during sunset or a day out on the beach. Go stream “New Light” and check out his discography which is filled with amazing music.
