Meet errebender, the sonic architect and Chicago native. High school in the Belmont-Cragin area and college at Columbia College, his city is as much a part of him as he is of it. Errebender's musical odyssey converges hip-hop, R&B, and the digital realm. His four EPs—BENDR, JUNK FOOD, and the eponymous TIDEPROJECT and TIDEPROJECT Vol. II: Crash the Algorithm—unveil a journey of introspection, innovation, and divine connection. As a disciple of sound, errebender draws inspiration from mentors like Henny Tha Bizness, while weaving the visual poetry of Chicago into his sonic landscapes. He invites you to ride the waveforms of #TIDEPROJECT, an auditory odyssey that seeks to Teach, Innovate, Demonstrate, and Elevate, bridging personal revelations with musical narratives. A D'Angelo aficionado with a sprinkle of Hiatus Kaiyote and John Mayer, errebender's music, like the air of Chicago, defies containment, transcending genres and boxes.
