Entranced by the lush and dynamic soundscapes of the 1980's, d.notive's aesthetic borrows heavily from the cinematic imagery of Neo-noir, classic alternative music, and of course synthpop.
Leveraging a rich, illustrious backdrop of classic synthesizers, his work includes countless pop songs and dance tracks, video game soundtracks, cartoon fan music, and film scores.
His critically acclaimed album Sentinel has enjoyed consistent rotation thanks to synthwave outlets like NewRetroWave. He has also been a regular collaborator with FiXT records, appearing alongside artists Cassetter, Fury Weekend, and Scandroid. Additionally, he maintains a close relationship with Funky Way Records (the official label of Funky Panda,) and Laserdiscs Records as a noted contributor to the original soundtrack for UK-based independent film "The Summoner."
His signature vocal style even earned him a leading role in a short animation by Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss animator Vivienne "Vivziepop" Medrano.
