I first discovered A Glitched Perception through mutual friends in the indie electronic community. His name kept coming up in conversations about his creativity and experimentation, always with admiration for his distinct approach to sound. I finally listened to his music, I understood why.
What struck me most was how versatile his sound is. He doesn’t box himself into one genre or style. One track might have the raw intensity of industrial energy, another might open into something ambient and introspective, and another might bloom with cinematic atmosphere. Each release feels like a new chapter, revealing different shades of who he is as an artist.
There’s an honesty to his music, something unfiltered and human beneath the electronic textures. You can sense that he’s not trying to impress anyone; he’s expressing something real. That’s what made me want to learn more about the person behind the project.
So, I asked him a few questions about his journey, process, and what keeps him inspired.

How would you describe your music to someone who’s never heard it before?
I like to tell people that it is multigenre, but the majority is glitch hop.
What track or project are you most proud of and why?
I would have to say the Waves album is the one I’m most proud of. It was the true launching point of A Glitched Perception and the album I’ve worked the hardest on so far.
Which artists or genres have had the biggest influence on your sound?
I’m influenced by new artists all the time, to be honest, but the band that is the biggest influence will always be Nine Inch Nails.
Was there a defining moment that made you say, “I want to make music”?
Seeing my uncle Charlie play guitar in church and feeling the connection he made with myself and others. I knew music was a way to connect with others without saying anything.
If your sound were a place, color, or emotion, what would it be?
I would say a prism: just me as the white light, and then the prism is the music releasing different colors or elements.
Do you have a ritual or habit that helps you get into a creative zone?
I like to smoke weed when I make music. It helps keep me focused and relaxed. Oftentimes, creativity will come to me at the most inopportune times, like when I am busy with something and nowhere near an instrument.
What’s something surprising people don’t usually know about you as an artist?
I am extremely shy in person and cannot perform well in front of others.
Do you have any surprising musical tastes outside your main genre?
I like almost all types of music, from classical to death metal. I was raised on older country music and still have a fondness for it.
How do you handle creative blocks?
Oh man, I think just about as well as everyone. It is very frustrating when it does happen, and I tend to get a bit stressed. I try my best to keep my mind busy with other things and will often find myself trying to discover something that will inspire me.
Describe your music in three words that aren’t music-related.
Open to interpretation (haha). Authentic, unique, and weird.
What I admire most about A Glitched Perception is how he embraces complexity. His music isn’t meant to fit into tidy categories; it’s a reflection of his openness to explore, to experiment, to let sound become emotion in real time.
There’s something honest in that, something that feels like watching light pass through a prism. Every angle reveals a new hue, and no single color can capture the whole picture.
Thank you, A Glitched Perception, for opening up about your world and your creative process, and for reminding us how sound can connect, transform, and reveal.
