How to Become a Reddit Moderator: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

How to Become a Reddit Moderator: A Complete Beginner’s Guide

Becoming a Reddit Moderator: How to Become a Mod and What to Expect

Reddit moderation is a bit of a dark art. Not in a sinister way — but it is one of those roles that looks simple from the outside and turns out to be far more nuanced once you’re actually doing it.

In this article, I’ll explain how to become a Reddit moderator, what moderators actually do, and what you should realistically expect if you’re thinking of stepping into the role — especially within niche communities like music subreddits.

What Is a Reddit Moderator?

A Reddit moderator (often called a “mod”) is a volunteer who manages a subreddit — Reddit’s version of a forum or community.

Moderators don’t work for Reddit itself. Instead, they’re responsible for shaping and maintaining individual communities by setting rules and enforcing them.

As a Reddit mod, you control:

  • What content is allowed
  • How posts should be formatted
  • When and how often users can post
  • How rules are enforced across the subreddit

In short, moderators define the tone, quality, and direction of a subreddit.

The Easiest Way to Become a Reddit Moderator: Start Your Own Subreddit

The most direct way to become a Reddit moderator is to create your own subreddit. Once you do, you automatically become the top moderator.

From there, you can:

  • Create posting and commenting rules
  • Filter language and explicit content
  • Block specific links or domains
  • Control promotional content
  • Use Reddit’s built-in automation tools

One particularly useful feature is post flairs — small labels that help categorize content. For example, in a music subreddit, flairs might include genres like:

  • Rock
  • Pop
  • Electronic
  • Funk
  • Indie

These make browsing easier and help users understand what a post is about at a glance.

Reddit itself also applies background filtering, meaning some posts may be removed automatically before a moderator even sees them. Compared to platforms like Facebook Groups, Reddit moderation is far more structured and heavily moderated by design.

What Moderators Actually Do Day to Day

Being a Reddit moderator isn’t just about deleting posts.

Moderators can:

  • Remove posts or comments
  • Temporarily suspend users
  • Permanently ban accounts
  • Respond to user reports
  • Invite additional moderators
  • Assign different permission levels to mods

Not every moderator needs full control. Some may only review posts, while others focus on rule enforcement or community management.

In music subreddits especially, one of the most common problems is self-promotion. Many users post links to their own music or marketing content, even when the subreddit is designed for discussion rather than promotion.

If self-promotion isn’t allowed, those posts usually get removed quickly. Clear rules make moderation easier and reduce arguments.

Why Being an Active Member Improves Your Chances of Becoming a Mod

If you don’t want to start your own subreddit, this is one of the most important things to understand:

Being an active member of existing subreddits significantly improves your chances of becoming a moderator.

Reddit moderation is rarely about who asks first. It’s about who consistently contributes in a positive, visible way.

By regularly posting and commenting in subreddits you genuinely care about, you build trust and familiarity within those communities.

Moderators tend to notice:

  • Users who follow the rules
  • People who contribute thoughtful posts and comments
  • Members who help others or guide discussions
  • Familiar usernames that appear regularly and positively

When a subreddit needs new moderators, the mod team will almost always prefer someone they already recognize rather than a complete unknown.

If your goal is to become a Reddit mod, don’t rush it. Participate first, contribute often, and focus on adding value— moderation opportunities often follow naturally.

How to Become a Moderator in an Existing Subreddit

If you’re active in a subreddit and want to take things further, check how many moderators it already has. You can see this on the right-hand side of the subreddit page.

  • If a subreddit already has 10 or more moderators, your chances are usually slim
  • If it only has 2 or 3 moderators, there may be room to help

In that case, you can message the mod team and simply say you’re happy to assist if they’re looking for support.

That’s exactly how I became involved in larger subreddits. I started with my own, stayed active elsewhere, and eventually got invited to help moderate. Over time, people left — and I effectively inherited the role of main moderator.

That kind of progression is more common on Reddit than you might expect.

Taking Over Inactive or “Dead” Subreddits

Another lesser-known option is taking over inactive subreddits.

Reddit has dedicated systems that allow users to:

  • Apply to moderate abandoned subreddits
  • Request control of communities with inactive moderators

If a subreddit hasn’t seen moderator activity for months, Reddit may intervene and allow new moderators to step in. Existing moderators are usually contacted first to confirm whether they’re still active.

These subreddits are often small or niche — sometimes for good reason — but it’s still a legitimate way to become a moderator.

Is Being a Reddit Moderator Worth It?

Overall, moderating a subreddit can be interesting, rewarding, and educational, especially in focused communities like music.

However, it can become tedious if:

  • Users constantly report each other
  • Complaints outweigh genuine discussion
  • Rules aren’t clearly defined or enforced

The key to good moderation is prevention. Strong rules, automation tools, and clear guidelines reduce problems before they start and make moderation far more manageable.

Final Thoughts on Becoming a Reddit Moderator

Becoming a Reddit moderator isn’t difficult — but being a good one takes time, patience, and consistency.

If you:

  • Care about a subject
  • Enjoy community building
  • Don’t mind occasional conflict resolution

…then Reddit moderation can be genuinely rewarding.

Good luck, and happy moderating.

Kwoon – Swan ( Acoustic Pop / Folk )

After the cinematic sweep of Odyssey earlier this year, French post-rock/folk collective

KWOON now turns inward with a new chapter: the acoustic album Unplugged from the

Moon.

Led by the haunting single Chesslove, the record strips away effects to reveal the raw

essence of Kwoon’s universe — delicate, timeless, and deeply human.

Unplugged from the Moon serves as an “unplugged best of, breathing new life into

highlights from the band’s discography while introducing Chesslove as a luminous

centerpiece.

Electric guitar lines transform into sweeping string arrangements, while folk

textures, piano, and choral layers imbue the music with neoclassical grace.

The result is an intimate fireside atmosphere — music that drifts between gentle melancholy

and quiet poetry, inviting listeners to close their eyes and rediscover Kwoon in its purest

form.

Artist Anxiety – Yes it’s real, but you can get past it.

Today I want to talk about something that doesn’t get discussed nearly enough in the music world: anxiety. Whether you’re a brand-new artist or someone who’s been releasing music for years, anxiety can creep in quietly and affect not just how you create, but how you see yourself long-term.

Depression, self-doubt, anxiety about songwriting, production skills, image, and even relevance—it all adds up. In the current music landscape, with its constant noise and pressure, it’s no surprise that so many artists feel overwhelmed.

Where Does Artist Anxiety Come From?

First, it’s important to acknowledge that people are wired differently. Some artists have a higher threshold for stress, rejection, and uncertainty. Others feel things more deeply. Neither is right or wrong—but it explains why the same situation can affect artists in very different ways.

For new or relatively unknown artists, anxiety often starts with questions like:

  • What do I look like?

  • Do I look “right” as an artist?

  • Does my song sound good enough?

  • Is the mix professional?

  • Should I spend money on promotion?

  • Do I need better YouTube thumbnails?

  • Where do I even start—and how much should I spend?

Individually, these questions seem manageable. Together, they form a mental barrier that can completely stop an artist from moving forward.

Breaking It Down, One Step at a Time

One way to reduce this anxiety is to stop trying to solve everything at once. Tackle problems one at a time. Some things are easier to change than others.

Image and Identity

You can change your image if you want to. Music history is full of artists who created personas to support their sound—Elton John, David Bowie, and many others. That separation between the artist and the person can sometimes be freeing.

But there’s no point forcing an image that doesn’t feel authentic. If it’s not you, it won’t last—and it may increase anxiety rather than reduce it. For many artists, staying true to who they are is far less stressful.

Some people even choose to remain faceless online, especially on platforms like YouTube. Personally, when I started doing YouTube (not as an artist, but as a creator), I was a little self-conscious at first. But after years of posting and over 100 videos, I can honestly say no one has ever commented negatively on how I look or sound. Most of the fear exists only in our own heads.

“Is My Song Good Enough?”

This might be the biggest source of anxiety of all.

Once you’ve written a song and gone through a basic quality process—arrangement, recording, mixing to a reasonable standard—there’s not much more you can do. Whether people connect with it or not is something only time will tell.

I don’t really believe in songs being “good” or “bad” in a subjective sense. Unless something is musically broken—out of time, out of key, or poorly executed—it’s simply a piece of music waiting to find (or not find) its audience.

What causes real stress is when artists upload their music… and nothing happens.

The Reality of the Modern Music Landscape

Because of the sheer volume of content being released every day, nothing happening is actually the default outcome. If something does happen, it’s a bonus.

Algorithms are confusing, inconsistent, and often opaque. Honestly, I’m not sure even the platforms fully understand how they work anymore. Sending your music into the void can feel brutal, especially when you’re emotionally invested in it.

This often leads artists to withdraw—to stop sharing, stop engaging, and sometimes stop creating altogether.

Engagement Over Promotion

One thing I’ve learned over time is that engagement matters more than constant self-promotion.

Through platforms like Twitter (especially earlier on), Facebook groups, and now Threads, I’ve met some genuinely interesting people—some of whom turned out to be in influential or well-connected positions in the industry. You rarely know who you’re talking to at first.

Engage in discussions. Comment thoughtfully. Be present. Most people won’t click a random music link—but they willinteract with ideas, conversations, and visuals.

On my own website, I’ve noticed that images often get more clicks than text. A strong visual can be a gateway into deeper engagement, but obsessing over perfection will only fuel anxiety.

When Anxiety Turns Into Something More

This is the hardest part.

I regularly see short posts on Threads that say something like:

“I’m fed up. I’ve posted everything. Nothing is happening.”

It might look like a throwaway line, but often there’s someone genuinely struggling behind it—someone who feels lost, unheard, and close to giving up.

This is how anxiety can spiral into depression. When effort doesn’t seem to equal progress, it’s easy to internalise failure.

A Difficult but Honest Truth

There is another side to this conversation, and it’s uncomfortable: not everyone is naturally suited to everything they want to do.

Just like in sport—if you’re not built to be a competitive athlete, no amount of effort will make you win races. Music can be similar. Some material is strong, some is average, and some simply doesn’t connect.

That doesn’t mean creating music is pointless. It does mean that tying your self-worth entirely to external validation is dangerous.

Final Thoughts

Artist anxiety is real, widespread, and often invisible. The key is to:

  • Break problems into smaller steps

  • Focus on engagement, not instant success

  • Accept uncertainty as part of the process

  • Separate your identity from outcomes

Most importantly, remember this: making music is not a failure just because it doesn’t blow up. Sometimes the act of creating is enough—and sometimes that has to be okay.

You’re not alone in feeling this way, even if it feels like you are.

Sync Licensing – The definitive Guide from Phil Loutsis.

Forgive me starting with the basic but I wanted this to be super accessible – we’ll move quickly after a little scene setting…

Sync licensing is when you allow your music to be “synchronized” with visual media — TV shows, adverts, films, video games, streaming content etc. You get paid for this usage and need to register with publishing companies to make the most of it and for the most part, early stage artists find opportunities through agencies and/or synch agents. So let’s get stuck into the subject and how you get positioned well to get some love for your tunes.

Note that for independent artists, sync is one of the best ways to make meaningful income from your catalogue. It also puts your music in front of new audiences, increases the value of your songs, and can lead to more opportunities (like brand partnerships, collaborations, or even new deals).

Sync is very competitive – surprise. 😱 Supervisors (the people who choose the music for projects) need music that is legally clean, properly formatted, instantly accessible, and emotionally on point for their project. If you’re not prepared, your track won’t make it to the shortlist.

This guide walks you through exactly how to prepare, where to pitch, and how to move from “decent catalogue” to sync-ready artist. I strongly suggest reading through this article and if your interest is piqued connect with the platforms outlined and also a synch expert who can give you bespoke support.

Note: This article is taken from the The Team Around You Substack that you can sign-up to for free… 

<iframe src=”https://theteamaroundyou.substack.com/embed” width=”480″ height=”320″ style=”border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”></iframe>

This is relevant for you – here’s why 👇

Sync isn’t just about a single cheque. It’s about building multiple revenue streams and increasing the long-term value of your music.

  • Upfront fees: These are paid when your music is licensed. For independents, this can range from a few hundred pounds for small placements to tens of thousands for major campaigns.
  • Ongoing royalties: Every time your music is broadcast or streamed as part of visual content, you earn performance royalties (collected through PRS and other societies).
  • Audience growth: A placement in the right show, ad, or game can expose your music to millions of people overnight.
  • Catalogue value: A sync-ready catalogue makes you more appealing to labels, publishers, and investors.

What sort of synch opportunities are there (and How Much They Pay)?

Sync isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here are the main types of placements you can target:

  • Television – Songs placed as background cues, themes, or in trailers. Typical fees: £500–£5,000 + royalties.
  • Film – Includes soundtrack placements or trailer use. Indie films often pay £1,000–£10,000, while major studios may pay £5,000–£50,000+.
  • Advertising – Music for brand campaigns, social ads, or online marketing. Fees vary hugely: £250–£100,000+, depending on campaign size and brand.
  • Gaming – Tracks used in games, esports content, or game trailers. Typically £500–£10,000.
  • Streaming Platforms – Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc. These can pay £1,000–£25,000, depending on usage and territories.
  • Corporate/Branded Content – Music for internal videos, events, or promotional material. Usually £500–£5,000.
  • Podcasts & Audio Content – Theme songs or transitions for podcasts or audio dramas. Usually £200–£2,000.

Step 1: Get Your Rights in Order (Non-Negotiable)

Supervisors only work with tracks that are “clear for licensing.” This means no legal complications, disputes, or unapproved samples.

You’ll need to:

  • Register with collection societies:
    • PRS for Music – Collects your performance royalties. (£100 fee, or £30 if under 25).
    • MCPS – Collects mechanical royalties when your music is reproduced for sync. (£100 fee).
    • PPL – Collects royalties for recordings and performers (free to register).
  • Sign split sheets: Every songwriter and producer must agree in writing who owns what percentage of each track.
  • Get session agreements: Anyone who played on your recording must sign a “work for hire” or session agreement.
  • Clear samples: If your track uses samples, they must be cleared with the original rights holders.

If you can’t confidently say “I own/control 100% of this track and can license it immediately”, you aren’t ready to pitch it for sync.

Step 2: Prepare Your Music for Sync

File Types You Need

Supervisors need options — and they need them immediately:

  • MP3 (192kbps+) – For pitching (quick listening).
  • WAV/AIFF (16/24-bit) – For final use.
  • Instrumentals – Every track should have a vocal-free version.
  • Clean versions – If your lyrics are explicit, create clean edits.
  • Optional: Stems – Individual parts of the track (e.g., vocals, drums).

Metadata (Your Music’s ID Card)

Metadata is how your tracks are found in libraries and playlists. Incomplete metadata = missed opportunities. There’s a template here that you can copy to get started capturing all your metadata for synch opportunities.

Include:

  • Song title & artist name
  • Genre & sub-genre
  • Moods (uplifting, tense, dreamy, etc.)
  • BPM & key
  • Lyrical themes (e.g., love, empowerment, rebellion)
  • Instrumentation
  • ISRC codes & PRS/MCPS work IDs
  • Ownership details (who controls publishing & master rights)
  • Contact info (email + phone)

Production Standards

  • Mix and master to broadcast quality.
  • Avoid long fade-outs (supervisors need clean endings).
  • Make sure your tracks have dynamic sections (builds, drops, breaks) — these make your music more usable.

Step 3: Organize Your Catalogue Professionally

Random Google Drive folders won’t cut it. You need a professional hub for your music, where links don’t expire, files are properly labelled, and metadata is included.

Recommended tools:

  • DISCO – The industry standard for pitching music. Lets you tag tracks by mood, genre, and rights info.
  • Bridge.audio – Great for cataloguing and sharing large libraries.
  • Dropbox Pro – Cheaper, but less search-friendly for supervisors.

Organize your music by mood, genre, and potential use (e.g., “Upbeat Indie Pop – Good for Ads”).

Step 4: Where to Find Sync Opportunities

There are three main routes into sync: agents, libraries, and DIY pitching. Here’s what that means:

1. Sync Agencies (They Pitch for You)

These companies represent your music to supervisors and handle the pitching/admin side. They usually work on a commission basis (taking a cut of the upfront fee).

  • Music Gateway – A UK-based platform that works with Disney, Netflix, Universal, and others. They require a subscription and handle licensing on your behalf.
  • A&G Sync – A boutique UK agency with strong TV/streaming placements (Netflix, BBC). They accept submissions via email.
  • Bodega Sync – A US agency connected to Symphonic Distribution; great for North American placements.
  • Nova Music – A UK agency known for high-profile TV placements (Love Island, BBC).

2. Production Music Libraries (They License at Scale)

Libraries are massive catalogues that supervisors search when they need tracks. They often take either exclusive or non-exclusive rights (read contracts carefully).

  • Audio Network – One of the largest UK libraries (280,000+ tracks).
  • Music Vine – A curated UK-based library for film, TV, and branded content.
  • Epidemic Sound – Huge platform for YouTubers, advertisers, and brands.
  • Artlist – Popular with content creators and indie filmmakers.

3. DIY Platforms (You Pitch Yourself)

If you want to stay fully independent and keep all control, these platforms help you pitch directly:

  • Songtradr – A global marketplace for music licensing with AI-driven matching.
  • UnitedMasters SELECT – A distribution platform with strong connections to gaming sync opportunities.

Step 5: How to Approach the Industry (Without Burning Bridges)

  • Send only your best 2–3 tracks (not full albums).
  • Use streaming links (DISCO or similar). Don’t send attachments.
  • Keep emails short (under 100 words). Supervisors are busy.
  • Include your rights status (“I control 100% of publishing and master”).
  • Wait at least 3 weeks before following up — and when you do, send new music, not a reminder.

Step 6: Build Your Network

Many sync opportunities come from relationships.

  • Attend conferences like AIM Sync (UK’s leading sync market).
  • Follow supervisors on LinkedIn/Twitter and engage professionally.
  • Research trends on Tunefind (see what’s being placed in your genre).

Your Sync-Readiness Checklist

  1. Register with PRS, MCPS, and PPL.
  2. Sort your rights: signed split sheets, session agreements, sample clearance.
  3. Create multiple versions: WAV, MP3, instrumentals, clean edits.
  4. Add metadata to every track.
  5. Upload to DISCO or Bridge.audio and organize by mood/genre.
  6. Research & shortlist 10 agents/libraries that fit your music.
  7. Prepare a 2–3 track playlist for pitching.
  8. Write concise outreach emails with clear rights info.
  9. Follow up professionally (and keep pitching new music).
  10. Network and learn: Attend AIM Sync, follow supervisors, and stay updated.

Nice House – Perfect Design ( Pop / Punk )

Nice House – New Release – Perfect Design

Nice House are your new-wave pop-rock neighbours in short shorts and sneakers, leaning over the scraggly fences of nipaluna/Hobart and asking the kind of questions that make you blush. A ten-legged dancing machine with undeniable vocal pizazz, the band leans heavily on synth—wobbling happily like a drunk, stilettoed aunty at a family barbecue.

If you’re craving a sonic journey that’s as colourful as it is dynamic, look no further than Nice House. This pop-rock ensemble effortlessly blends elements from across the genre spectrum to craft a sound that feels both familiar and unmistakably their own.

One of the most striking aspects of Nice House is their fearlessness when it comes to experimentation. Drawing inspiration from Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Roxy Music, the band folds nu-wave synth, psychedelia, and post-punk textures into a vibrant sonic tapestry. Their willingness to push boundaries keeps the music fresh and exciting, offering a constantly evolving experience with every track.

At the centre is singer, keyboardist, and primary songwriter Will Moon (Moonglue, Bianca Blackhall Band, Phil Smith), who takes aim at corporate and political egos polluting waterways and wrecking the housing market. His sharp-tongued commentary cuts through the groove with purpose and bite.

On guitars, Nick Milnes (Brenda, Bianca Blackhall, Phil Smith) and Tim ‘Bones’ Fogarty (Dead Wolves) deliver a harmonious dual attack, layering tasty dad-rock riffs over dance-floor-ready momentum. The engine room—Jess Fleming(bass flavour and backup-vox master) and Beau Leighton (tippy-tappy rhythm extraordinaire)—locks everything into a groove that’s impossible to ignore.

Broken Colours – Pretending ( Indie Pop / Punk )

Broken Colours ( Indie Pop ) New release Pretending.

Broken Colours are back and looking to end the year on a high with the long-awaited release of their new EP, Could Be Worse. The four-track project expands further into the band’s indie-rock-filled universe, showcasing their most confident and expansive work to date.

The EP features three previously released singles — ‘Brother’, ‘Before The Sun’, and ‘Hey It’s Me’ — each highlighting the band’s broad approach to indie songwriting. From stadium-sized anthems to more reserved, reflective ballads, Could Be Worse captures the vast scope of Broken Colours’ sound and reinforces their intense creative drive.

Also included is ‘Pretending’, the latest single to be lifted from the EP. A blues-tinged yet undeniably rock ’n’ roll anthem, the track sees the band doubling down on the hard-hitting sound that first earned them attention. Built around emphatic sing-along choruses and towering riffs, the song leans into a nostalgic feel while retaining a sharp, contemporary edge.

Speaking about the track, the band explain:

“In a constantly evolving modern world, where fame, money, and recognition seem to be at everyone’s fingertips, it feels like people will do anything to achieve these. This is where the song ‘Pretending’ comes in, highlighting this very issue. In a world where people give money to homeless individuals just for video views, it makes us question society — and that’s just one example.”

About Broken Colours

Hailing from High Wycombe, Broken Colours are a four-piece indie outfit blending funk-edged grooves with gritty rock sensibilities to deliver truly electrifying performances. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Jamiroquai and Arctic Monkeys, the band first burst onto the scene with their acclaimed self-titled EP in 2016.

Since then, they have toured across the UK, Denmark, and Italy, sharing stages with The Blockheads, Jake Bugg, The Zutons, and The Subways — further cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Looking ahead to 2025, Broken Colours are set to reassert themselves as a creative force to be reckoned with, with more new music firmly on the horizon.

Diva – Hold On ( Pop / Rock )

DIVA – New Release  – Hold On

DIVA is a modern and powerful musical project formed in 2024 by four young musicians from Liège. Driven by a shared passion for music, the band blends emotional depth with energetic pop-rock influences to create a sound that feels both contemporary and timeless.

On November 21, DIVA released their debut single, “Hold On”—an anthemic track centered on resilience, determination, and the unifying power of music.

The Story Behind DIVA

DIVA’s journey began quietly, inside Simon’s bedroom. For years, his guitar compositions lived in isolation—written, refined, and eventually set aside. Everything changed when Simon shared his demos with Ulrich, a close friend and producer already active in the electro scene.

Ulrich immediately connected with the material and began shaping the melodies, giving the songs new life. As the project started to take form, he brought in Andrea, a vocalist whose creative instincts aligned perfectly with the music. Inspired by the instrumentals, Andrea wrote vocal melodies and English-language lyrics that added emotional weight and narrative depth.

The final piece of the puzzle was Lucas, a drummer with years of experience in the rock scene. His dynamic percussion completed the lineup, and after months of collaboration and refinement, DIVA was officially born.

Sound & Influences

DIVA defines itself as a modern, independent pop-rock band, influenced by the greats of the genre while maintaining a strong sense of individuality. Their music balances melancholy atmospheres with raw, energetic musicality, reflecting the band’s personal vision of the world around them.

Unrestricted by rigid genre boundaries, DIVA pays tribute to the music that inspires them—while confidently carving out a sound of their own.

O.M Raila P – Ouroboros ( Pop / Electro )

O/M Raila P – Ouroboros

Ouroboros is a visceral dark-pop single where O.M Raila P steps into the ring with his own reflection — a symbolic battle between the self that breaks and the self that survives.

Built on tense, cinematic production and a pulse that hits like body blows, the track explores the cycle of inner conflict: rage, fear, resilience, and the quiet truth that some fights happen only inside us.

The lyrics depict two versions of the same man locked in an endless loop — a psychological Ouroboros. Every punch is a memory, every fall a rebirth, and the final breath belongs to both sides at once. Intense, haunting, and deeply human,

Ouroboros is a soundtrack to the battles we fight when no one is watching. About the Artist O.M Raila P is a music project built around storytelling through sound. Each track is a chapter, each release a self-contained world, where music expresses what words alone cannot.

The Low Stakes Band – LaLa Land ( Acoustic / Folk )

The Low Stakes Band – New Release  – LaLa Land

Low Stakes return with Lala Land — a track that drifts effortlessly between intimacy and transcendence, offering listeners a sonic meditation on post-bliss serenity. Out September 19, 2025, the single blends playful lyricism with a lo-fi folk sensibility, creating a song that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Lala Land captures the paradox of being fully present while transported somewhere else entirely — a place where hang-ups dissolve, worries step aside, and the world softens into a private sanctuary. With layered vocals and stripped-down instrumentation, the track evokes both humor and vulnerability, blurring the line between earthly pleasure and spiritual escape.

Playful yet profound, Lala Land is a reminder of the quiet power of letting go in a world that’s constantly pressing in. It’s a song of sanctuary — a gentle invitation for listeners to slip into their own version of bliss.
