Born and raised in Philadelphia but currently based in New York, Baltra has spent the last decade honing a sound that’s rich both in romance and melancholy. And always with warm, nostalgic melodies. Releasing his first music in parallel with the lo-fi house explosion of the mid-2010s, Baltra racked up millions of plays across YouTube and key streaming services with definitive releases on, Shall Not Fade’s sub-label Lost Palms, Of Paradise, and his own 96 & Forever Records imprint. The first half of 2023 has seen him return with his ‘Where I End’ mixtape which was released via the label head’s very own 96 And Forever Records that came out of the digital gates with top tier Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer & Amazon Music playlist placement as well as covers, support from RA, Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Ransom Note, and key dance radio support on BBC stations Radio 1 and 6 Music as well as Rinse FM & KEXP. 2023 has also seen him remix Gus Dapperton on Warner and 'DJ Q & Todd Edwards on Local Action.
