Tell Us More About Your Release? The creation of “Stay” was a laid-back journey inspired by my recent trip to the ocean. The melodic deep house vibes perfectly captured the essence of those serene moments by the shore. Imagine me tinkering with smooth synths, weaving in deep basslines, and adding a touch of soft vocals to the mix. It’s like bottling up the essence of a seaside sunset. No big production drama, just the easy flow of good vibes.
