Born with a weird name and a love of music and visuals, Stiffen is always passionate about creating relatable songs inspired by love, life and all their beautiful mishaps.
With influence from Pop, Soul and Folk palette, his songwriting weaves heartfelt lyricism and intimate melodies inside pop sensibilities. Drawing inspiration from artists who are also storytellers such as John Legend, Daniel Caesar, Damien Rice, Florence + The Machine and Mariah Carey.
His first single 'Ocean' is a closer look into romantic intimacy, how love can be both calm and chaotic like the sea. This lullaby inspired ballad is dedicated to anyone in need of tranquility amidst the toils and anxiety of today's world. To complete the overall experience, the song is accompanied by an official music video shot in beautiful Bali, Indonesia.
