Influenced by the sounds of he Weeknd, PartyNextDoor, Tory Lanez, and Majid, 12AM released his debut eight-track EP titled AFTERPARTY back in 2017.  The production behind 12AM’s EP ranges from trap to pop-R&B, EDM, and a lot of cinematic PBR&B.

“‘AFTERPARTY’ was the first time I ever really released anything. I mixed it, wrote it, recorded it, and mastered it all in my basement, so it really has that lo-fi dark sound to it. Now with all the new music about to be released, including “Can’t Love,” you can hear such growth. Vocally, songwriting/production-wise, the mix and master — I’ve developed such an incredible team and it’s really helped me take this new stuff to a new level,” 12AM explains.

 

 

 

 

And you’re probably asking yourself, ‘where does the name 12AM come from?’ “I got it from mixing my own music. I used a reverb called the midnight plate on logic and it made my voice sound real vibey. Then I put it together with the music, especially since you should be listening to it after midnight. So I just went with 12AM,” he explains.

“It seems like everyone is trying to glorify the turn-up right now; and 12AM definitely does that.” – Hip Hop Canada
