This six-track collection marks a significant milestone for Woods, following a year of notable achievements, including collaborations with indie artist quickly, quickly and a successful track on the Dutch label Chillhop.
“The Prince” showcases Woods’ ability to convey deep, personal emotions through music, featuring tracks that range from introspective to vibrant.

Woods’ journey in music began three years ago on SoundCloud, inspired by the unique sounds of Mexican Summer records and the indie electronic genre. His musical influences include artists from the local electronic scene in Portland, Oregon, as well as international names like Bibio and Tim Hecker. With “The Prince,” Woods not only reflects on his experiences of feeling out of place during his university years but also explores themes of vulnerability and mental illness, providing a window into his artistic soul.
With the EP officially out now, his work on “The Prince” stands as a strong example of his talents and overall creative direction as an artist. His collaborations and streaming success, coupled with his evolving sound, hint at a promising future for this young artist.
