His passion for heartfelt music and positive energy is made clear by the fundraising he’s been involved in. His track “Sounds That We Made,” a song about stark income inequality in London, helped raise money for New Horizons, a charity that works to alleviate homelessness in London.

“We’re OK” is taken from Hyphen’s upcoming EP that will be released later this year, featuring American singer-songwriter Ben Zaidi.
