St. Wave embodies the essence of our millennial generation. An artist that walks a familiar line of obligation: first generation immigrant pressures. A lifetime student, St. Wave received his college degree at the University of Hartford. Along this journey he discovered his passion for music. Since his enlightenment he vowed that his music would receive 31,492,753 streams in order to pay off his Sallie Mae student loans.
After the release of his first project “Troposphere” in 2017, St. Wave began creating his own path by using the building blocks of creative sound selection and enchanting writing to convey his differences lyrically. Paired with his fondness for science fiction, retro aesthetics, and his rearing within the scenic NY suburbs, St. Wave generates polarizing music submerged within coded poetry to engage the listener while still giving a “peacefully cool vibe”.
“Radiation” is an album wrapping its fibers around the body of internal dialogue - how an internal struggle can taint an environment and the effect its atmospheric frequency has on a person’s inner peace.
It reflects on the dissonance of the millennial generation which ironically is more disconnected with each other and themselves as technology continues to advance. This album’s intention is to inspire individuality and authenticity. This is just the beginning and St. Wave is just heating up.
