Career
Khaysen trained for three years on his own. Despite only wanting to be a songwriter for singers, on May 9, 2020, he made his debut as Khaysen with the single "Fvck"[4][5] from his first debut album released via SoundCloud. He decided not to commercialize his project by describing it as the "feeling of being in the dark.
In 2019 he composed the song "Press" for an Argentine singer, with whom he had already worked on a song from her album. The singer requested the song after listening to a draft in Khaysen's studio. It peaked at 2 on SoundCloud's Hit Week.[6]
Khaysen reissued his album for digital and streaming purchase in April 2020. It reached number 3 on the ARIA Albums,[2] Audiomack Charts10, and AIR Charts charts.
2020: Awaken, second mini album
On October 20, 2020, Khaysen announced the release of the second short album. On October 29, 2020, in a local interview, he revealed that the production of his album was ready and would be released in early December 2020. On November 14, Khaysen released a promotional teaser for the album and announced that their project material would be revealed in a few weeks, on November 31, 2020. On the occasion, Khaysen performed the song "Tear" for the first time, gaining positive feedback on news websites. It was later reported that "Tear" corresponded to the B side of his next album. On December 1, 2020, Khaysen officially announced that the album would be titled Awaken and that it would be released on December 4, 2020, along with two other singles "2125 Days"[7] and "Dreams".[8]
Art
Khaysen is responsible for the writing, composition, arrangement, mixing and mastering of his music, as well as producing hip hop songs and electronic / dance subgenres. His tracks involve themes that are "full of dreams and hope", with the goal of becoming "the strength of many people."
Influences
He cites Skrillex and Flume as his inspirations for pursuing electronic music and for sparking his interest in the genre,[9] specifically the album Recess and Flume's song "You & me Remix" as they are "completely different" from the original. Through an interview conducted by fans on an Instagram live, Khaysen mentioned Flume (already named as his "inspiration"), as one of his role models in his musical career. As an artist, Khaysen also revealed that he considers rappers YSY A and Lil Peep as her role models for her musical style.[10] Khaysen's style has received recognition in the music industry for its distinctive sounds after her debut.
In addition to musical inspirations, Khaysen has also used artistic and philosophical means to create his record material. His second studio album, Awaken, was influenced by the album Hi This Is Flume and the song "Friends" (featuring Reo Cragun) by Flume, while the song "2125 Days" had references to such material. On the other hand, the name of the same EP Awaken was based on the song "Awake" by BTS.
Musical style
Khaysen composes and produces all his songs. Some media point that out as the key to his success. His early works were influenced by old school hip hop and trap as seen in the songs "Claasstipe boys"[11] and "Fvck", largely due him being part of an underground rap group. These songs were part of his "era" that explored "the problems and anxieties of the youth in school", and the main motivation for their creation was his own experience. Later he implemented genres such as hybrid future bass and experimental at the end of this project, and with his first mini album, Text Me.[1]
With his second mini album, called Awaken, he experimented with experimental future bass and hybrid future bass again, as well as a white concept to illustrate the emotion of happiness, the pain after separation, and the understanding of self love. He began with the song "2125 Days"[12] (2020), which highlights the fact that it was composed for his mother Fernandez Elizabeth and for his younger sister Acevedo Solange who have their birthday the same month on days 21 and 25. He continued with the song "Dreams"[13] highlighting overcoming and ended with "Tear" which highlight the idea of tranquility and self love.

Video games
Khaysen talked about his dream of being the best player in at least one online game no matter which one it was.
In May 2021, it was posted on Instagram that he had become the best player in Cats are Cute[14] a game by Kkiruk Studio, and said: "I have exceeded the world record for the game, plus I have all the characters and things at their highest level, my current record is 25,000,000".
Currently he has 28 million points, more than 4 million more than second place. He also said "I won't let anyone catch up with me I'll be No. 1."
