The Chicagoland-born DJ and producer, whose real name is Ethan Snoreck, has never been one to shy away from experimentation. This album, however, feels like a deeply personal project, reflecting his growth both as a musician and an individual. From the opening track, “Stealth Bomber” featuring grime and drum & bass legend Flowdan, to the closing track of the album, “Energy,” Life of a Wallflower Vol. 2 is sure to take us on an unforgettable ride.
