Scottish singer/producer Michael Oakley’s moody, melancholic synthwave/retrowave sound made its debut on the 2017 hit album California.
While at high school in the 1990’s, Oakley discovered his sister’s 1980s synth-pop record collection and fell in love with artists such as New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears.
This inspired Oakley to buy a synthesizer and start making electronic music of his own, however it wasn’t
