” I was afraid to surrender,” says Edy Dinca, the Brussels-based queer artist<\/a> behind the hauntingly honest EP Vertigo. “The urge to self-sabotage, something I’ve always carried, was still there\u2014persistent, familiar.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With Vertigo, Edy transforms anxiety, identity, and the dizzying beauty of vulnerability into music that feels both universal and deeply personal. The title track captures the moment before falling<\/a> \u2014 into love, into truth, into self \u2014 \u201cThat\u2019s what vertigo is: the dizzying fear of falling, paired<\/strong> with the irresistible pull to leap anyway.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Romania, Edy grew up performing under the spotlight. But it wasn\u2019t until arriving in Brussels that he found his own voice. \u201cI stopped focusing solely on perfecting my voice and started thinking about the story I wanted it to carry.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That story is shaped by queer experience, dual culture, and the emotional highs and lows of someone learning to live \u2014 and love \u2014 fully. His sound shifts between glittery synth-pop and modern folk, mirroring that emotional range. \u201cSome days I\u2019m at zero, and a few hours later I\u2019m all the way at a hundred.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the EP\u2019s most powerful songs, Unusual Intimacy, was born from darkness<\/a>. \u201cI genuinely believed my sensitivity wasn\u2019t a gift, but a weight that would eventually crush me. But the song became a quiet kind of healing. It saved me.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Chez moi, his first French track<\/a>, Edy searches for belonging. Is home a place, a sound, a person? \u201cAs long as I can look in the mirror and still recognize that wide-eyed child full of impossible dreams \u2014 then I know I\u2019m home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edy\u2019s music isn\u2019t about fitting into boxes<\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s about breaking them gently open. His songs speak to anyone who\u2019s ever felt in-between, reminding us there\u2019s strength in softness, and beauty in simply being real<\/p>\n\n\n\n
