An excited St Quintin revealed, “This isn't like anything I’ve ever done before. I feel very proud of the work I’ve been able to create.”
St. Quintin delivers a 10-track album comprising of pop-punchy beats, whilst delivering his message (aimed at removing the stigma surrounding mental health) with his soulful vocals. “The album is an expression of my own struggle with mental health, I am aiming to abolish the stigma around mental health and hope that we can start to take serious action and provide more facilities available for people who are suffering.” “I'm trying to deliver my message as honestly and easy to digest as possible. With that being said this album is very confronting. Sonically, lyrically and even visually. I wanted to create a world that people could escape to when times are tough. Art will save the world”, said St Quintin. Kicking off the celebration to release the album, St Quintin held an exclusive launch party at Laurent Gallery in South Melbourne on Thursday 4 October where guests had the chance to listen to the new album and browse a curated exhibition of collective artworks by the man himself inspired by the album.
Since a young age, St Quintin has shown promise in his ability, by winning local music festivals and poetry awards, which would further come into play when he began his song writing career.
