About PSALM TREES
Psalm Trees is a lo-fi chillhop producer from the southern United Kingdom. The artist's name, "Psalm," carries two meanings, referring both to a sacred song or poem and the act of playing a stringed musical instrument. Beginning his musical journey at the age of 14, Psalm Trees has pursued his craft without formal training, eschewing conventional rules and embracing personal expression as the core of his creativity. His earliest track that's available to the public is "On the First Day". Sometime since, the artist has been actively releasing music through Chillhop Records, contributing to the label's Winter and Spring Essentials compilations. Additionally, he unveiled his self-titled debut LP, a collection of 16 beat-driven tracks that showcase his musical style. In his studio, Psalm Trees relies on vinyl, an MPC 2000xl, and Logic 9 software as his primary tools. He occasionally collaborates with other instrumentalists to enhance his creative process. Engaged in various music-related activities, the artist can be found digging for samples in record stores, engaging in discussions with like-minded individuals, conceptualizing artwork for his releases, and honing his tracks. Psalm Trees has experienced significant growth in his listenership through platforms like Spotify, with support from the Chillhop playlist and collaborations with the label. While recognizing the streaming trend as the future of music consumption, the artist maintains a deep-rooted affection for vinyl, appreciating its tangible nature and the timeless pleasure of playing records. Among his catalog of works, Psalm Trees holds a special attachment to the track "Wherever You Are" featured on Chillhop's Spring Essentials compilation. This song evokes his cherished memories of South Africa, a place that marked a transformative phase in the artist's life. Acknowledging the burgeoning hip-hop scene in South Africa, Psalm Trees expresses admiration for the local talent and the musical output from the region.
