SEEDR: A Sonic Journey Through Personal Evolution

In the world of music, few artists embody the essence of evolution quite like SEEDR. Raised in London and now calling Los Angeles home, SEEDR’s music is an evocative blend of cinematic textures, soulful vocals, and the infectious energy of Drum and Bass. Her work explores the complex process of personal growth and transformation, using sound as a medium to guide listeners through their own journeys. Through her unique style, SEEDR has established herself as an artist who not only creates music but also crafts sonic soundtracks for the moments when individuals are evolving, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

Early Inspirations: A Diverse Musical Foundation

Her story begins in a modest yet influential environment—the counter of a London record store. As a young adult, SEEDR’s exposure to music was eclectic, spanning genres like trip-hop, soul, rock, and electronica. Her formative years were marked by an appreciation for the sounds of artists like Sia, Portishead, and Massive Attack. These influences would later shape her own musical voice, drawing from their emotive depth and intricate textures. But it wasn’t just the mellower, atmospheric sounds that impacted her. SEEDR found herself equally inspired by the raw intensity of System of a Down, the mystical qualities of Florence + The Machine, and the layered complexities of Halsey. These varied influences provided the foundation for the dynamic and genre-blending sound she would come to create.

In addition to her love for these iconic artists, SEEDR was deeply moved by the sweeping scores of composer Hans Zimmer. The cinematic quality of Zimmer’s work, with its ability to evoke powerful emotion, resonated deeply with SEEDR, helping shape her understanding of how sound can be a vehicle for storytelling. She also found kinetic inspiration in the world of Drum and Bass, particularly from liquid DnB legends like Hybrid Minds, Emily Makis, Wilkinson, and London Elektricity. As a marathon runner, SEEDR often channels the rhythm of her training into her music. Many of her melodies and lyrics come to life during her runs as she enters a flow state—a space where creativity thrives.

Turning Struggles into Sound: SEEDR’s Journey to Creative Control

The idea of evolution, both personal and sonic, runs deeply through SEEDR’s creative process. Early on, she studied music psychology, an exploration of how music affects the mind and the body. She became fascinated with the concept of Musical Earworms—those songs or melodies that get stuck in our heads. Through her research, she discovered a connection between earworms and anxiety, leading her to find solace in songwriting. For SEEDR, creating music was not just a creative outlet; it was a way to manage and release the emotional pressure that often came from the busy, high-energy environments she navigated.

For many years, SEEDR operated behind the scenes, contributing to various sync projects and writing for other artists. But after a decade spent in the music tech industry, where she witnessed firsthand the struggles of modern musicians, she felt compelled to take creative control. She set out to build something that was uniquely hers, with a mission not only to express her own evolution but to help others push through the darkness and discover their growth. This personal journey culminated in the creation of her debut EP, Evolutionary, set for release in 2025.

Her debut project is a sonic exploration of transformation. Created with LA-based producer Noams, Evolutionary draws upon the metaphor of nature’s rise from the ocean to land, symbolizing personal growth, pain, and progress. The EP is designed to be a soundtrack for listeners navigating their own evolution, whether it’s a run through city streets or a deep dive into their inner landscapes. The project is rooted in the belief that growth occurs even in the shadows, and sometimes, all it takes is a piece of music to remind us that we are moving forward, even when it doesn’t seem so.

The Track that Defines Her Sound: Sublime

One of the standout tracks from SEEDR’s upcoming project is Sublime, a dark and atmospheric song that highlights her ability to create tension and release within her compositions. With its epic, sexy, and ethereal qualities, Sublime balances restraint and impact, creating moments of palpable tension that explode into powerful melodic surges. The track’s swelling harmonies and resonant basslines give it emotional depth, while the dynamic changes evoke a sense of catharsis—like breaking through a storm into a fleeting moment of clarity. Collaborating with Noams, SEEDR crafted a cinematic foundation for the track, using sound to capture pivotal moments of evolution.

Sublime serves as a perfect representation of SEEDR’s musical philosophy—a reminder that growth and change are often a process of navigating through darkness to reach the light. This track and the rest of her work encourage listeners to embrace their own transformations, no matter how difficult or uncertain the journey may seem.

The Future of SEEDR: Live Performances and New Music

With the release of her debut EP on the horizon and live performances slated for later in 2025, SEEDR is poised to continue evolving as an artist and as a force in the music industry. Her sound is more than just entertainment; it’s a reflection of the human experience—complex, challenging, and, above all, transformative. For those who are willing to listen, SEEDR’s music aims to be the soundtrack for their own moments of evolution.
