ABOUT

An icon of the post-SoundCloud era, $atori Zoom fractures genres. Pulling from experimental rap, punk rock, goth, alternative, and hip-hop, his sound lives in a space between resistance and reflection. With his 2019 breakout single “BUSTER,” $atori cut through the noise of the underground and built something deeper—catching the attention of major labels and fans alike.

Through his evolution, he’s remained beneath his signature bandana and L.A. cap, crafting a body of work that defies industry standards. His debut album ATTICA! (2022) redefined Phonk with sharp lyricism and atmospheric detail, earning praise from DJ Paul (Three 6 Mafia), Xavier Wulf, and an ever-growing cult following drawn to the substance behind the style.

Inspired by the raw sounds of Joy Division, XXXTENTACION, The Germs, Playboi Carti, and Radiohead, $atori’s music holds its tension—layered, deliberate, and emotionally charged.

His upcoming album, BLACK MOON, is his most personal project yet: a stripped-back, atmospheric body of work shaped by loss, isolation, and the pressure to evolve without being seen. It doesn’t aim to impress or explain. It leans into the discomfort.

The empty space.
