LLH

I'm LLH. I'm from Germany, and I grew up in a pretty privileged environment. I never had to worry about material things, and I'm very aware of that. At the same time, confidence didn't automatically come with it. If anything, I've always been more reflective than naturally self-assured. That tension between security on the outside and uncertainty on the inside shows up in my music more than I probably realize.

Music has been part of my life since I was five. I started with piano lessons and later joined a children's choir. At one point, I even sang solo in front of around 2,000 people. Back then it wasn't about building a career. It was about the feeling of sound, harmony, and being part of something bigger. I recorded small piano pieces, experimented with chords, and slowly moved from just playing music to composing it.

Production came naturally after that. Having only a computer made electronic music the most accessible path, so I leaned into it. For a long time, I made purely instrumental tracks. They felt safer. I could express things without having to put them into words.

That changed with Make Me Feel Alright. It was the first time I seriously wrote lyrics with structure, verses, and intention. Before that, I had tried bits and pieces, but nothing fully formed. That album came out of a period where I wasn't feeling great. Music became a way to cope. I would open Logic, throw ideas together, see if something felt right, and close it again. It wasn't about strategy. It was about getting through certain nights.

Over time, my relationship with music evolved. I don't only create when things are heavy anymore. I've found genuine enjoyment in the process itself. But I still use music as a way to process what I'm going through. Sometimes it's escape. Sometimes it's confrontation. Sometimes it's just curiosity.

Describing my sound is difficult because I don't really think in genres. My taste is all over the place. I love artists like Grimes, Kanye West, and Rammstein, but I'll listen to almost anything if it fits the mood. That openness naturally influences what I make. Most of my music leans electronic simply because I produce everything on a computer, but the emotional tone changes from project to project. I follow whatever fits the story rather than trying to stay in one lane.

When it comes to albums, I don't start with constraints. I don't sit down thinking, "This has to be this kind of project." I follow ideas and themes that feel interesting or unresolved.

Ultimately, my goal is simple. One day, I want someone to tell me that one of my songs genuinely changed something for them. That's the kind of impact I care about.

Each release reflects where I was at the time I made it. None of them are final statements. They're just honest checkpoints along the way.
