Varsity Star
About
Varsity Star is a Brooklyn-based electronic musician / producer. He grew up in the suburbs of Boston, played jazz through college until becoming comfortable making music alone. After a biblical flea infestation in his apartment, he fled to Berlin in 2017 and recorded his first full-length, Model Home, playing gigs in basements, a Danish church, and a few legitimate venues in Brooklyn. In 2020, he’s back in Brooklyn and mostly pest-free, having released is latest record, "Things Look Better from Far Away, and gearing up for a slew of shorter form releases to follow.
His sound is melodic and fluttering, with bouncing beats that play with pulsing synth and fun upbeat melodies. His tracks are bright and cheery, delightful ambience lays the foundation for sparkling detuned keys and bubbling beats, with stuttering minimal glitches creating structure to his works.
