Street Cleaner is a pioneering artist in the "Crimewave" subgenre of synth music, known for a gritty, theatrical style. Initially emerging as an obscure outsider act, he gained major recognition in 2015 by topping Bandcamp’s charts and becoming a favorite in the Synthwave scene. His music and aesthetic have continually evolved, and he’s known for energetic live performances using a keytar. Beyond music, he's scored for film, games, and amusement parks, and co-founded Creaky Lantern Games, creators of Street Cleaner: The Video Game.
