On Friday, May 2nd, musician and producer NEWĀRK brings his latest project to BIRD, Rotterdam. What began behind the piano evolved into a passion for production, where he created an entirely unique musical world with his first laptop. Each track is a carefully constructed soundscape; a mix of minimalist beats, cinematic stories, and raw emotion that immediately draws you into his inner world.

His debut project Flowers That Don’t Exist (2021) was described as a “movie for your ears” and showcased his talent for weaving introspective stories with layered and captivating productions. After a two-year break, during which he focused entirely on his artistic growth, NEWĀRK returns with renewed energy and an even deeper fusion of influences.

Jazzy hip-hop grooves, vibrant pop hooks, a touch of indie, and lush instrumentation all come together in a sound that feels both personal and universal. With his new EP Walkman, You’re Gone Too Fast, he opens a new chapter full of emotion and groundbreaking music.

His live performances promise to be just as dynamic and captivating as his studio work. Whether you've been following him for a while or are discovering him for the first time, NEWĀRK's music stays with you long after the last note has faded. Friday, May 2nd, at BIRD.
