About
A sound born from warmth, shaped by memory.
FIDE doesn't make music for the algorithm. He makes it for the 3 AM moments, the long drives, the quiet afternoons when you need to feel something real.
Manifesto
Growing up in Costa Rica, FIDE found himself caught between worlds. The tropical rhythms of his homeland. The American indie records his older brother played. The R&B grooves that echoed from late-night radio. None of it felt quite right alone — but together, it became something worth chasing.
The approach is simple: record everything through the lens of feeling, not formula. If a song needs lo-fi tape hiss, it gets it. If it needs crystal-clear vocals over a minimal beat, that's what happens. The only rule is honesty.
FIDE believes that the best music sounds like a memory you haven't made yet — familiar enough to trust, strange enough to keep you listening.
