Berlin-based Kiwi singer, songwriter, and producer Inniskeen has carved a unique path in the indie pop world. Known for his cinematic songwriting and evocative production, he is the writer behind a long list of Grammy-nominated indie pop artists. His own music has gained international recognition, landing placements in films and TV series such as Hannes and Amazon’s You Are Wanted, along with syncs for global brands including Nike, Red Bull, Samsung, and Nikon.
Having previously supported artists like The Arkells and Friendly Fires as part of his former indie pop band Pause Applause, Inniskeen is now stepping into a new era—one defined by his signature sound and bold artistic vision.
Inspired by an opportunity to pitch for the animated cult TV series Arcane, Inniskeen found the songwriting process for his latest single 'Saint' to be effortless—tracking most of the song in a single winter night at his Berlin studio. Drawing from global events and the deeply personal experience of becoming a father, Saint captures a timeless longing for salvation:
“In a world full of false heroes, we’re all yearning for that one person who we believe will save us—the selfless ‘Saint’ who would sacrifice everything to rescue us from our own destruction.”
Blending atmospheric indie pop, soaring melodies, and raw emotion, Saint is a compelling statement from an artist on the rise.
