One creator.
Distinct artist worlds.
Bear Gallagher-Cole creates his own music within the framework of 1st Drop Music under his own Artist name(s). He has also personally worked on every recording included in his catalog. Any collaborations and/or recordings with other producers/songwriters retain their respective credits.
Each Artist still possesses its own sound, emotional lexicon, catalog, visual world and reason for existence. The connection provides context to each Artist's uniqueness without detracting from what defines each project.
