Since breaking into the melodic house scene in late 2020 with his 'Solace' EP (PRGRSSN Records), Motives has enjoyed support from respected names like Above & Beyond, EDX, Solomun, Sultan + Shepard, Qrion and countless others. His remix of Le Youth's 'Miraje' (Anjunabeats) charted in the Top 10 Trance charts on Beatport, was featured on Above & Beyond's legendary Group Therapy broadcast, and earned him a guest mix on Anjunabeats Worldwide (#734).

Other notable releases include EPs on the heralded Colorize imprint ('Gone / Games' and 'Reach / Dominion' with Morgin Madison), a collab with ascending duo Leossa ('This World / Heartbeats' [PRGRSSN]), and another remix for Le Youth ('Hang On' [This Never Happened]).

A lifelong musician and electronic music fan, he draws inspiration from all corners of house, techno and beyond; from progressive titans like Lane 8, Yotto and Pryda, to the myriad tastemakers that make up DC's immersive underground music scene.
