Global producer and artist EL CAPITXN officially steps into the spotlight as a solo artist with the release of his debut single, “Breaking Through”. Joining forces with TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Taehyun and American singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker, the track is now available on all streaming platforms.
The single was surprise-released through EL CAPITXN’s social media, marking the beginning of his journey as a recording artist. “Breaking Through” captures the moment when the heart pushes past the walls it has built for itself for the very first time. The song delicately portrays emotions finally flowing outward through a crack in a once-closed inner world, reaching toward another being.
Adding further emotional depth to the project, the narrative concept centers around the speaker’s lost voice resonating once again through the voices of Taehyun and Jeremy Zucker. Taehyun’s delicate vocals and Jeremy Zucker’s signature warm tone blend seamlessly over the dense, refined soundscape crafted by EL CAPITXN, delivering the powerful message that once a heart crosses the boundary, it can never return to the world it once knew.
A music video and lyric video will accompany the release, both premiering on 30th March via EL CAPITXN’s official YouTube channel and VEVO.
Through this debut single, EL CAPITXN is set to showcase not only his production prowess but also his own distinct artistic identity. In addition to the track’s release across major global streaming platforms, a series of visual content reflecting the song’s mood will be unveiled in stages. He also plans to continue engaging closely with global fans through behind-the-scenes content that captures both the creative process and his personal reflections as an artist.
Supporting this new chapter, EL CAPITXN is set to accelerate his global expansion through a strategic partnership with global independent label EMPIRE. Founded in 2010 in San Francisco by Ghazi, EMPIRE has built a distinctive global distribution network and marketing system through releases by world-renowned artists such as Shaboozey, Bebe Rexha, Fireboy DML, Kendrick Lamar, and Anderson .Paak. In Korea, the label has also demonstrated strong influence by supporting the global activities of leading K-pop artists.
VENDORS, the K-pop production company led by EL CAPITXN and the contracting party in this partnership, shared, “This partnership was made possible by EMPIRE’s recognition of EL CAPITXN’s unparalleled production sensibility and unlimited potential as an artist. The two sides plan to build a close collaborative system across the entire process, from music production to global distribution”. They added, “Through EMPIRE’s powerful global network and optimized marketing solutions, we expect to present a broader musical spectrum to fans around the world, and we will continue to introduce diverse cross-border artist collaboration projects”.
