Hi, I'm InVadeRJ. I live in Scotland today but I'm from many places around the world.
I can't seem to write a song that isn't about heartbreak. Though in a variety of genres, my songs share a signature melancholic tone with French lyrics, recorder parts and minor 4 chords sprinkled in to the mix.
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.
Each release's page has more information about its production and discusses the meaning behind each song.
