  • teenage engineering talk with HEYMUN 🎹🔑

    HEYMUN and I have been following each others music and art for couple years now, and the level of excitement I think we both had during this conversation is probably very visible through the screen.

    During our chat, we spoke about Ambient music, things to be aware of being a content creator, live streaming, partnering with brands and much more. It was such a fun conversation and definitely won't be the last one! HEYMUN might have to be a regular guest on Khordmaster Keys.
    HEYMUN is a music composer, producer and video maker.
    Between projects, she creates weekly music videos on her YouTube Channel and loves the music community with all her heart + soul.
    One afternoon HEYMUN strolled into a music store and left with a 99 dollar Yamaha guitar. A sprained left pinky from over-stressing the high E string and several written tunes later, her debut EP “HEYMUN” was released in 2014.
    Some pretty unexpected things came out of her debut EP. It took her out of Sydney apartment landed her in New York City for The CBGB Festival & awarded her First Place Folk/Singer-songwriter at Unsigned Only USA and Honorable Mention and The International Songwriting Competition USA.
    In 2016, she released her singles "Sailor" & "Youth" produced by producer Tony Buchen (The Preachers, Courtney Barnett)
    Fascinated by all things behind the scenes in music-making she dived into Ableton and fell in love with self-producing and the wonderful world of synthesizers.
    In 2018, she released her self titled full album "HEYMUN". Written, produced, performed and mixed by HEYMUN at her studio in Sydney, Australia her album was nominated for the BestNewcomer Award at The Fresh Music Awards.
    In 2019, she released her 1:11 album featuring the OP-1 synthesizer by Teenage Engineering and her single “Last Goodbye” was released by Teenage Engineering records. That same year she became an official Teenage Engineering mentor.
    In 2020 HEYMUN released HYMN another self-produced album featuring her signature balmy ambient synth soundscapes and vocals that fell into the radars of NME earning her a stellar review.
    HEYMUN’s works have been featured on the VERGE, Redbull Music, SynthHead Magazine, Spitfire Audio, ROLI, Genki Instruments, KORG, Analog Cases, Teenage Engineering & more.
