” I was afraid to surrender,” says Edy Dinca, the Brussels-based queer artist behind the hauntingly honest EP Vertigo. “The urge to self-sabotage, something I’ve always carried, was still there—persistent, familiar.”
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 — into love, into truth, into self — “That’s what vertigo is: the dizzying fear of falling, paired with the irresistible pull to leap anyway.”
Born in Romania, Edy grew up performing under the spotlight. But it wasn’t until arriving in Brussels that he found his own voice. “I stopped focusing solely on perfecting my voice and started thinking about the story I wanted it to carry.”
That story is shaped by queer experience, dual culture, and the emotional highs and lows of someone learning to live — and love — fully. His sound shifts between glittery synth-pop and modern folk, mirroring that emotional range. “Some days I’m at zero, and a few hours later I’m all the way at a hundred.”
One of the EP’s most powerful songs, Unusual Intimacy, was born from darkness. “I genuinely believed my sensitivity wasn’t a gift, but a weight that would eventually crush me. But the song became a quiet kind of healing. It saved me.”
In Chez moi, his first French track, Edy searches for belonging. Is home a place, a sound, a person? “As long as I can look in the mirror and still recognize that wide-eyed child full of impossible dreams — then I know I’m home.”
Edy’s music isn’t about fitting into boxes — it’s about breaking them gently open. His songs speak to anyone who’s ever felt in-between, reminding us there’s strength in softness, and beauty in simply being real
