Producer and songwriter the sound chalk makes has quickly emerged as one of electronic music’s most distinctive new voices. Born in San Francisco and raised in India, the 20-year-old is now based in London, where he draws from an entire internet’s worth of influence. With nothing more than an untitled link loaded with demos and a self-filmed video snippet for “Manmade Manmaid” on Instagram, the sound chalk makes attracted the attention of Welcome.Jpeg, a “living archive” of digital culture, and the tastemaking NYC label Anemoia, formerly home to The Hellp. His shapeshifting sound, which edits the modern world’s unending flow of information and voices into something cohesive and collective, weaves together aesthetic touchstones of his coming of age while blending trance, electroclash, experimental pop, and club music into a sound that resists definition.

His debut EP, Re:, introduces the scale of his artistic identities. “Manmade Manmaid” finds him at his most frontal, his voice a shrug over a digital, dislocating whirlwind. “Love” is the sound chalk makes at his most floor-filling as a producer, while “China Place” sees his voice melt into an indiscernible sludge, disrupting and distorting his own conventions in real time. An electroclash heartbeat runs throughout the project, from the livewire shock of “Re” to the sudden humanness of the guitar-led “Man.” Throughout Re:, there is always a single human being at the center, oscillating between being forthcoming and shy, lending his tracks the feeling of inhaling and exhaling. Following his first trip to New York for a release party hosted by Welcome.Jpeg and Anemoia, the sound chalk makes continues to build on the world of Re: with the Re:mix project and new live performances.
