Zach Howie shares “Mantis”

Canadian musician and producer Zach Howie blends electronic and acoustic instrumentation to craft his own unique sound. Formerly working under the moniker Sievi, he’s now embarking on the next chapter of his musical journey under his own name.

Laying down deep and immersive soundscapes, he offers a dreamy beat-driven style that transports listeners to new sonic realms. Using piano and guitars with synths and driving drum programming, Zach Howie puts his own mark on the downtempo genre with his cinematic compositions wrapped up in exquisite sound design.

Making his introduction with his new name in 2018, he shared his debut EP the the aptly titled Rebirth which he’s followed up with a string of well-received singles, remixes and more EPs. Now he brings us his brand new release with the new single “Mantis”.

The title track lifted from his new three-song release, “Mantis” sees Zach Howie spin a grooving electronic sound. Full of atmospheric synth tones, his latest single was written about finding your own confidence and letting go of people pleasing.

Commenting on the new track, the artist shares, “I wrote it during a phase of really letting myself bloom as an artist and finding my own voice, which I thought was fitting for this name change. It’s a mashing of Downtempo and Neoclassical music, giving it my signature “Neo-Downtempo” sound as I like to call it. I like to think of Mantis like being in pushed along by waves in the open ocean. Never quite know where it will take you next.”
