Darksoft is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter and producer who creates dreamy indie rock sounds. Darksoft songs blend dream pop and shoegaze elements, using lush melodic progressions, 80s/90s alternative rock undertones, and deftly executed vocals. Lyrically, he weaves through clichés, platitudes, and aphorisms that explore universal truths and philosophical themes, giving his music an introspective and existential edge. Darksoft is a solo recording project often supported by a full band for live shows.

To date, Darksoft has released a handful of self-produced conceptual albums. His most recent albums, Rationalism (2025), Relativism (2024), and Grayscale (2023), were released with Spirit Goth Records. Beigeification (2023) delivers a postmodern blend of surfy sounds and beigey moods, self-released through Look Up Records with tapes printed by 2060 Records. In recent years, Darksoft has toured the northeast, west coast, and Pacific Northwest.

​

Cryo (2022) also gained national radio attention, with the track Looking Backward landing on Spotify’s Indie Fresh Finds playlist. His earlier albums, Meltdown (2020) and Brain (2018), explore themes of digital futurism and watery introspection, blending computer-age anxiety with raw human emotion — pure enough to pass the Turing Test.

​​

Darksoft is originally from Seattle, where he participated in the local music scene for years. In 2021, he moved his family to Portland, Maine. Besides producing Darksoft, he has produced music under several other monickers. Darksoft tries to support other musicians, too. He manages Look Up Records, a small independent music label and blog.
