Music
My love of music started very early. Getting a CD player at a very young age, music was always there for me to escape into. Around the age of 10, I began finding my own music, starting with Linkin Park and Slipknot. Specifically Papercut by Linkin Park and Duality by Slipknot. This immediately sparked an interest in Alternative and Metal genres.
Slipknot’s aggressive, heavy sound led me to heavier bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Abominable Putridity, Malodorus, and more. My love of metal then began to spread to other areas such as Atmospheric / Depressive Black Metal and Funeral Doom, adding atmosphere, mystery, and emotional elements to my tastes.
Meanwhile, Linkin Park’s instrumentals and rap influence dragged me more toward electronic genres, such as Witch House, Dubstep, and Drum ‘N Bass. The melodies and beats of these genres were key factors in making the connection to Dark Trap.
When I met my girlfriend, at the time she was listening to a lot of Travis Scott and Post Malone. While I was still mostly in my metal phase, I was also opening up to new music. I enjoyed the beats and sounds of these artists, but they didn't quite have the vibe I wanted.
The artists I found that had the sounds and vibes I was looking for were:
-Ghostemane
-Witchhouse 40k
-Warlord Colossus
-Bleed The Wicked Menace
-Bones.
In my music, I attempt to combine these styles of music with a heavy dose of horror, storytelling, and atmosphere. But I plan to always expand, grow, and incorporate new things.
Horror
My love of horror, much like my love of music, began at a very early age as well. Around the age of 7, I was introduced to the movie Tremors, which marked the beginning of my love for monsters. Add in video games such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and F.E.A.R., and I was hooked on spooks. I began writing short stories (and even attempted a couple of novels) when I was 16, writing short horror stories for apps like Reddit.
I believe horror is a very misunderstood genre. It can be dark, depressing, repulsive even. But it can also be fun, silly, cathartic, and even relaxing. Horror can be a safe space, where the monsters aren't real and you can root for, or even be one yourself. We all have a little dark side in us. Some more than others.
Characters
Why the characters? Coming from a writing background, I've always loved building worlds and characters, and each character represents a different part of myself. The idea behind PhreekeeProductions is to be a platform for me to extend my art through these characters, giving each one their unique feel to what they do. I’m not the type of artist to be happy doing a similar thing over and over again. I like variety. Maybe not everything works, but at least I tried, learned, and grew.
By blending many genres with a strong influence of Dark Trap and Trap Metal, Phreek brings horror music to unexpected places. While favoring slow, sinister, and atmospheric tracks, Phreek also embraces distortion and screams. The music ranges from slow, creeping beats accompanied by eerie melodies to energetic 808s with anxiety-inducing instrumentals. Phreek aims to create a heavy, dark atmosphere that complements its graphic lyrics, often telling bloody stories or depicting horrific scenes. Phreek showcases a diverse range of vocal styles, including menacing whispers, maniacal growls, and deep-toned flows, providing variety depending on your preferred flavor of horror.

As someone who struggles with mental health illness, I represent some of the darkest thoughts and feelings that Hunter has grappled with throughout life. The thoughts of hate, anger, frustration, and even self-loathing. Despite being in a much better headspace, and having the necessary tools to deal with these thoughts and feelings, they still feel them tugging at the back of their brain sometimes.
I am currently the primary character for music and my sound range is from slow, quiet, sinister tracks, to complete distortion and screams.
Horror Representation
I am the embodiment of fear. The shadow that you swear waved at you in the darkness, the chill running down your spine, the innocuous knock in the other room. I is quiet, patient, and intelligent, much like fear itself.
Lore
Seems like every daybreak shines light on a new scene. If you're lucky the only thing left is splatters of blood and some scraps of clothing. If you're unlucky you might be sent on a wild goose chase to find the missing pieces. And if you're really unlucky, you'll find them.

I represent a more playful, whimsical, and mischievous side of Hunter, as well as their more outgoing and explorative nature. While Hunter is mostly an introverted person, I am the part of them who enjoys exploring, discovering, and experiencing whatever joys, mysteries, or wonders life has to offer. I am currently the primary vessel for their horror-themed ASMR RPs. However, having started as the only character, the first two music projects were technically still me. Now, I have a different musical style and occasionally pop in with a more melodic, whimsical vibe.
Horror Representation
I embody a mix of a slasher villain and a horror monster. Much like the giant ants in the movie "THEM!," I’m not technically evil; I only “kill” because I need to. However, like Chucky, I take joy in doing so, often toying with and taunting my victims sadistically. Yet, even I can’t resist my ravenous cravings, a heavy reminder of the dark thoughts that many of us carry.
Lore
Sometimes people and boats go missing in the strangest ways… It’s as if the ocean itself calls out to them, and they can’t help but answer. It’s never anything too big. And sometimes, if it’s really quiet at night, the ocean hums…

I embody the emotional essence of Hunter being—romantic, contemplative, and deeply caring. I represent the "lighter" aspect of them, highlighting the importance of family, friends, and the bonds they cherish.

I embody the emotional essence of Hunter being—romantic, contemplative, and deeply caring. I represent the "lighter" aspect of them, highlighting the importance of family, friends, and the bonds they cherish. Yet, every hero has a shadow, and for me, it manifests as an unwavering loyalty to my loved ones, showcasing the extraordinary lengths I am willing to go to protect them.
Horror Representation
As an anti-hero, I draw inspiration from figures like The Crow, The Punisher, and Venom. I personify the "broken" hero archetype. With pure intentions, my methods can often be perceived as brutal or extreme. Loyal to a fault, I am prepared to cast aside any sense of morality when it comes to defending those I love.
Lore
A peculiar mystery unfolds in the woods, where campers and hikers are struck by lightning only to vanish, half-eaten by wolves... or perhaps just one menacing wolf? The circumstances are shrouded in uncertainty. What are the odds of so many campers being struck by lightning when the weather seems perfectly calm?
Artist Representation
I embody the primal essence of Hunter. Playfully dubbed as having a “reptile brain” by Hunter and their girlfriend, I capture his sentiment perfectly. With an unyielding determination and a mindset of “Need it, want it,” I am relentless in pursuing my desires, mirroring Hunter's tenacity.
Beyond this, I personify Hunt

Beyond this, I personify Hunter's hedonistic nature—the quest for joy and serotonin in an often mundane world. Whether I’m indulging in a delicious snack, acquiring the latest fun toy, or enjoying a carefree night, I am the very embodiment of desire.
Currently, I am carving out a niche within the PhreekeeProductions Studios, but my presence is destined to be felt far and wide.
Horror Representation
I also channel various horror archetypes, including:
- The Charmer: This is the villain who lulls you into a false sense of security, making it all too easy to let your guard down—only to realize too late the danger that lurks.
- The Neutral Monster: I operate outside the boundaries of morality, focused solely on achieving my desires with minimal consequences. My actions stem not from malice, but from an innate drive to fulfill my wants.
- Degradation Through Fear: My venom symbolizes the unraveling of the mind amidst fear and panic. It represents the fog of confusion, impulsive decisions, and the insidious nature of terror.
Lore
A mysterious figure seems to be prowling, poisoning victims indiscriminately. Some succumb, others fall ill, some endure paralysis for hours, and a few enter a trance-like state. The identity and motives of this perpetrator remain shrouded in mystery.
Caution is essential—everyone must be vigilant about what they consume.
