The first TOTEM songs appeared online in 2013 to acclaim from music blogs and the industry alike. Since those first bedroom-produced tunes, TOTEM's two EPs, Pride and Echoes, have showcased his evolution into a indie-pop powerhouse. If 2015 was any indication, the singer/songwriter and producer is well on his way to making a lasting impact. Songs he released last year garnered notice on Spotify’s “New Music Friday,” thrice ended up on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart, and highlighted numerous year-end “Best Of” lists. With looks from Billboard, COMPLEX, Pigeons and Planes, and many more, it was only the beginning. With his recent move to New York from his longtime home in Atlanta, TOTEM has signaled a fresh approach that will no doubt take him from indie darling to household name in 2016. The gritty expressiveness of his storytelling truly comes to life with his refined delivery and style. Already slated to appear at SXSW Spotify House and other major festivals this year, TOTEM’s live performances impact and draw new audiences around the country with an intimacy and resonance rarely seen in pop today.
