Vryxster's story is about more than just music. It's about surviving mental health battles, finding a sense of community, and learning how to stay young at heart no matter what life throws your way.
From Emo Punk Roots to DIY Recording
Vryxster’s creative path started during his high school years, writing rough punk rock lyrics with friends and absorbing influences from emo icons like AFI and My Chemical Romance. After an early reluctance to follow family footsteps into music, he found his own voice—starting during COVID lockdowns with nothing but an iPhone mic and a pair of underwear as a pop filter.
Through countless DIY recording sessions in Hawaii, he evolved from rough garage tracks to polished singles, showing what true passion and persistence can create over time.
Music as an Outlet for Mental Health
Diagnosed bipolar, Vryxster doesn’t shy away from talking about mental health. His music became a lifeline—a space where he could process emotions, confront past struggles, and offer listeners authentic reflections of survival and growth.

Whether it’s surfing Hawaii’s waves, laughing with friends, or working on new tracks, Vryxster embraces the philosophy that staying youthful means staying present—and staying open to both struggle and joy.
Building Community and Giving Back
Beyond the music, Vryxster is committed to lifting up others. Whether it's supporting Hawaii's underground music scene, collaborating with new artists, or simply being a positive presence in his circles, he sees community-building as essential to success.
Rather than chasing clout, he focuses on helping everyone around him grow—believing that real fulfillment comes from collective wins, not just personal accolades.

Looking forward, Vryxster dreams of expanding his music career while staying grounded in the things that matter most—passion, authenticity, and meaningful human connection.
