APPEARANCES // "Siren", "Distant" on Mindstorm (2024)     

DEROSNEC is a singer and multimedia artist in LA. With her unusually low voice and wide operatic vocal range, she makes music that pulls from many genres to create a moody and fresh sound. Her lyrics range from politics and philosophy to her own experience and feelings, and are unusually straightforward while being simultaneously laced with double meanings and word play.
