After Louise, a Los Angeles-based artist who injects her kaleidoscopic synth-pop productions with emotional candor and playful inversions of expectation, is carving out her own space in synth-pop with a decidedly DIY ethic: a producer and multi-instrumentalist, she writes, performs on, and produces across all of her releases. Between her debut EP, Nothing’s Accidental — 4 million streams and counting across platforms — and the process-demystifying videos she shares with fans, she’s built a rapidly ballooning audience of over 200k followers on socials.
