Alongside his vocal work, he produces under the name Patch William, crafting instrumental projects that highlight his love for mood and atmosphere. Projects like The Lab Rats and Cloud Pack showcase his dual role as rapper and producer, highlighting an artistry that isn’t about chasing trends but about creating music that’s authentic, thoughtful, and guided by his own creative compass.
