Oscar Scheller

NEW Album: Boys Cry / Focus track: Boys Cry
 Chill  Sad  Sexy  Weekend 

This album is a meditation on male vulnerability. It’s material, all my insecurities, traumas, heartbreaks, and my internal dialogue being turned outwards to exemplify healthy male emotion. To show you that boys cry, whether that’s internally or externally. ‘Boys Cry’, is my experience, and my mission to re-imagine masculinity by illustrating that there is power in being vulnerable. To be authentic and freed from society’s conditioning will in fact help you to reach out to others, ask for help, and allow yourself to grow by accepting the pain and turning it into strength, love and compassion. It’s my manifesto to manhood.
