Rising talent Viscose draws inspiration from Lady Gaga and Dagny, colliding his electro-pop sound with sophisticated sultry synths.
Irish electro-pop artist/producer Viscose has unveiled his third single 'I.L.Y.', a dance banger loyal to the likes of Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue.
Being the writer and producer of all his music, Viscose's love of dance, house and pop stems from his love of LGBTQ and pop culture.
After debut single ‘Been There’ impacted over 60 countries, grossing over 20,000 streams on Apple Music, Viscose returned with dance/pop anthem 'Peace of Mind' last October about struggling with an anxiety disorder. As a skilled producer, Viscose has also curated various successful songs for other artists, including it's just Cat ('Slipping'), Mack Johan ('Encore') and Apollo Monroe ('Soda Pop').
2019 saw the release of singles 'Cry, I Walk' and 'Lost & Found', which caught the eye of bigger names within the industry. Self-care anthem 'Been There' featured the work of Steve James, a producer known for his contribution to the music of Justin Bieber, Little Mix and Martin Garrix.
Nu-disco dance/pop gem ‘I.L.Y’ explores the fear brought about by the prospect of relationships and connections. The record was written and produced solely by Viscose himself with some mixing aid of producer Steve James. As an LGBTQ artist, Viscose wants to make his mark on pop music and remind listeners that unapologetic pride is the most freeing way to embody life.

"There's something about expressing a certain feeling not only through words but actually through the texture and format of instrumentation. Dance music doesn't always have to have a happy story behind it."
The musician is set for a jam packed year full of exciting releases, visuals and projects. Viscose's devotion to electronic dance music has shaped him into the eclectic, fashion-forward talent he is today.
