Mit Loopstation und souliger Stimme vermengt er Einflüsse aus R’n’B, Soul und Trip-Hop und stapelt kleine Details, bis sie zu mitreißenden Songs werden. Das französische Musikmagazin Les Inrockuptibles kürt den gebürtigen Panamaer bereits als „must-to-listen artist“, die KRACH+GETÖSE-Jury schließt sich mit Ausrufezeichen an! Yes!”
