Hi, I'm InVadeRJ. I live in Scotland today but I'm from many places around the world.
With my latest song Arms Dealer, I'm striking out from my staple heartbreak songs in a more political direction. Though my songs are in a variety of genres - inspired by synthwave, rock, jazz and more - you may hear French lyrics, recorder parts and minor 4 chords sprinkled into any of them.
My musical journey began when my mother taught me to play the recorder and the piano as a child. I joined choirs during middle and high school, solidifying my love for singing. Despite this, I never manage to sing my own songs as well as they sound in my head...
My existing interest in composition only became a passion for songwriting in 2021.
Armed with free music software including MuseScore and LMMS, I created and released my first song - I Loved You - in 2022.
I had written lyrics but was too embarrassed to record the vocal part, so the track released as an instrumental.
Later that year, I joined forces with my producer friends Feàrn and Harris Hall, who would become key collaborators.
Together we created the two-track single Daydreaming, kicking off a series of releases recorded and produced in our respective bedrooms.
They worked with me again on Star in 2023 and Bittersweet in 2024.
In 2025, I began recording vocals at the self-service Pirate Studios in Glasgow. The first of these songs to release - Arms Dealer in 2026 - was mastered by Feàrn, who joined the project at the very end.
Each release's page has more information about its production and discusses the meaning behind each song.
