viisi grew up inspired by a rich pantheon of hip-hop artists and uses those core influences to impact his abstract sound today. His latest EP, Episode I: Autophobia, keeps you on your toes with two tracks that bounce between genre and hone in on viisi’s uncanny ability to tell a story.
Episode I: Autophobia is a two track collection filled with lush undercurrents of percussion, diluted and seemingly subconscious sonics, and vocal delivery that engulfs the ear with passion. Whether he’s performing on his opening track “chasing ghosts” and demonstrating raw emotion over layered acoustics or igniting his fiery hip-hop staple “na na na” with viscous flow, viisi shows an unbelievable amount of range as an artist. “na na na” is viisi’s powerfully true story recounting events from his childhood and his great aspirations for the future.
Canadian bred Los Angeles based viisi gets his adrenaline from finding new ways to experiment with genre and creating a sound that will surprise people. Episode I: Autophobia is his latest release as viisi continues to elevate his craft.
