Holland also works and exchanges with a cross-section of artists and producers innovatively shaping contemporary music from Latin America as we speak. His is an on-going story of musical inspiration guided by a curiosity which aims to not only honor and collaborate with excellent artists, but to share and compose new music in a way that is organic, vibrant and relevant. As Holland explains, "I try to make music that encourages people to explore beyond their usual listening circles and check scenes and genres they may otherwise never be exposed to.". ...show less
