Being an artist entails the expectancy of one being in tune with their mind and music.

“I had to truly gain an understanding of myself in order to add the emotions into my art.”

For AD22, it was mainly a journey of self-discovery more than anything. Discovering music at a young age pushed him to explore different genres and styles of writing, which granted him the ability to express his thoughts in unique creative ways. To him being an artist is the outlet he uses to bridge a connection between his nature and the world.

“Generally, some songs carry more meaning, some carry more emotion, but that doesn’t takeaway that they are all experiences and thoughts that drawn from my day-to-day life.”

Those same melodies then turn a mere idea into a whole creation. ‘Oasis Interlude’ was a combination of an upbeat instrumental with the smooth mellow execution from the artist. Working with the engineer French, ‘Oasis Interlude’ was created off a feeling. The artist utilized a state of nostalgia, happiness, and love to create a calm, mellow, yet captivating record. An oasis is defined as a body of water that is found in the middle of the desert. Here, Oasis is meant to symbolize this state of happiness and love that is lost in the mix of life's turbulence. Oasis has a strong attention to detail, reflecting the vibe in the way that is unique to AD22. It is meant to remind the listener of that ‘happy place’ and be a reference point to that feeling throughout their lives.
