Dutch/German songwriter, LIAS began his musical journey as a classically educated child, performing with artists such as Jose Carreras and the orchestra of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich and travelling across Europe from Moscow to the Vatican City.
Within himself, he always felt a hunger and a desire to break away from his classical roots.. a yearning to truly express himself.
As you listen to LIAS’ music, you will hear themes of his deep inner world.. themes of fear of failure, pain of separation, mental health and his search for true meaning.
The latest single from LIAS, ‘Hide and Seek’, acts as an exploration of our own tendencies to hide from ourselves. It’s the concept of the exhaustion that is felt when we keep trying to run from who we truly are, and the acknowledgement that when we stop running and surrender to ourselves, we are finally free.
The song brings a deep and raw emotional story to the forefront, while creating a desperation and tension, that represents the inner conflicts felt through the story.
Listening to the track, you will be thrown into an atmospheric soundscape filled with warm and smooth vocals, the inviting sounds of acoustic guitar and piano and a driving, catchy beat.
‘Hide and Seek’ is a must listen track that will draw you in and having you searching for your own inner freedom.
