From behind the scenes to the front of the stage

After years of shaping other artists, Vae Vonzel is stepping forward with a vision of his own, alongside his production partner, Sprague "Doogie Time" Williams.

R3 turns lived experience into music: modern grooves, mature storytelling, and songs about the lessons and turning points that shape a life.

In the studio, Vae and Doogie don't always see things the same way, and that's what makes the records work. Each one challenges and steadies the other, so the music stays honest without losing its groove.

Made for listeners who have lived enough to recognize themselves in it, even when the story isn't exactly theirs.
