Independent artists are some of the most creative and driven people in music, but they’re also some of the most overworked. In today’s music landscape, talent isn’t enough. Artists are expected to write, record, mix, edit videos, promote releases, run ads, grow a fanbase, and somehow stay consistent. It’s a full-time job with no support system—until now.

CTRL Music Group was founded to solve that problem. 
Created by Chicago artist YBZ Vandr, CTRL came from firsthand experience. Vandr spent years doing everything himself. He taught himself how to mix vocals, shoot music videos, build a brand, run ads, and manage content rollouts without any outside help. Even with all that work, he kept hitting the same wall: burnout, inconsistency, and stalled growth. The problem wasn’t passion. It was trying to do everything alone.

CTRL was built as the answer to that cycle. 

Now, CTRL Music Group helps artists go further by providing structure, support, and execution across the entire creative and marketing process. From recording to rollout, CTRL steps in to handle the behind-the-scenes work so artists can focus on the music.

What sets CTRL apart is its artist-first approach. 

Every artist is treated like a business, with a focus on building long-term momentum. CTRL helps artists make the most of small budgets by prioritizing high-impact actions and creating strategies that lead to real growth. 

Services include:

● Studio booking and vocal production oversight

● Mixing and mastering coordination

● Music video planning and production

● Content development for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

● Full release strategy and rollout planning

● Digital ad management and targeted campaign creation

● Playlist pitching and audience-building tactics

● Show booking and performance support

CTRL doesn’t just help get the music made—it helps get it heard. That includes ad campaigns tailored to each artist’s sound, content strategies that keep fans engaged, and analytics reviews to improve every drop. By focusing on real results and long-term vision, CTRL gives artists the tools to actually grow, not just release music into the void.

The feedback has been strong. Artists who work with CTRL feel more focused, more confident, and more in control of their career paths. Streams go up. Fanbases grow. Most importantly, artists get back the creative energy they were losing trying to juggle everything alone.

CTRL Music Group is more than a service provider. It’s a partner in the process. It’s a support system built by someone who understands the grind and knows how to make it sustainable.

Whether you’re just starting out or finally picking up momentum, CTRL helps you move with clarity, consistency, and purpose.

Artists create. CTRL handles the rest.

Hybrid Collapse is a boundary-blurring audiovisual AI project that fuses electronic music, generated visuals, and critical theory into a single immersive experience. The work is not merely an album or a series of videos — it’s a conceptual framework for navigating life in a world dominated by digital abstraction, biopolitical control, and posthuman aesthetics.

The debut album Biopolitics is a meticulously structured narrative told across ten tracks, each accompanied by a corresponding AI-crafted video. The music moves from ambient decay to glitch-infused industrial and dystopian pop, building a world where identity is no longer stable but perpetually reprogrammed. Themes of surveillance, sexuality, artificial embodiment, and algorithmic behavior are embedded into both the sonic and visual layers, creating a unified, confrontational aesthetic.

What sets Hybrid Collapse apart is its integration of philosophical depth with striking cinematic style. The project draws on thinkers like Agamben, Haraway, and Baudrillard, translating abstract ideas into visceral, hyperreal sequences. Visually, the videos feature haunting figures — black-robed priestesses, synthetic lovers, faceless enforcers — all enacting rituals in bleak urban and ritualistic environments. Fire, oil, and shadows become symbols of sacrifice, transformation, and spiritual surrender to technological systems.

Unlike many AI-driven art experiments, Hybrid Collapse isn’t about novelty — it’s about meaning. Artificial intelligence is not a tool here, but a voice within the system. It co-authors the collapse.

Biopolitics is an act of resistance and a requiem — a refusal to submit quietly to digital hegemony, even while dressed in its skin. It is both warning and prophecy.
