Upper Reality is a producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist from Frisco, TX. They are now based in Los Angeles California by way of several pit stops, including four years in Austin TX, a year-long stint in Cape Town, South Africa. Their music echoes that path, with Dallas neo-soul keys and synths, Cape Town house-jazzy percussion, LA indie grooves and sample flips, and flourishes of inspiration from artists running the gamut from Sade, to the Doors, to Xavier Omar and more.
“As a former chronic overachiever (I have an Economics degree from the University of Texas at Austin), and retired olympic runner away from who I truly am, I’ve learned that nobody can tell you how to live your best life, and there’s no magic word or moment that makes it all come together. Life is a dance, a sonata that deserves to be heard and felt all over the body like an endless sunshine”
Upper Reality seeks to unlock within people that freedom to do that for themselves.

Upper Reality es un productorx, cantante y multi-instrumentista de Frisco, TX. Hoy en día vive en Los Angeles, California, a través de varias paradas, incluyendo cuatro años en Austin TX, y un año en Capetown, Sudáfrica. Su música se hace eco de ese camino, con claves y sintetizadores neo-soul de Dallas, percusión house-jazzy de Capetown, ritmos indie de Los Angeles y volteretas de muestras, y florece de inspiración de artistas que abarcan toda la gama desde Sade hasta The Doors, Xavier Omar y más.
“Como ex-superador crónico (tengo un título en Economía de la Universidad de Texas en Austin) y corredor olímpico retirado de lo que realmente soy, he aprendido que nadie puede decirte cómo vivir tu mejor vida, y no hay una palabra mágica o momento que lo haga todo solido. La vida es un baile, una sonata que merece ser escuchada y sentida en todo el cuerpo como un sol sin fin”
Upper Reality busca desbloquear esa libertad dentro de todos.
