Global producer and artist EL CAPITXN releases his debut single "Breaking Through" and officially begins activities as an artist.
EL CAPITXN is a representative K-pop producer who created hit songs for top global artists such as BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and IU. BTS' "Take Two", Agust D (BTS' Suga) "Daechwita", IU "Eight", tripleS "Girls Never Die", Jungkook "Stay Alive", PLAVE "(DASH)", TOMORROW X TOGETHER "Leaving Neverland", and other mega hits are among his catalog. He is expanding his reach in the global music scene by presenting sophisticated sounds together with his producing team VENDORS.
On the 26th (today), EL CAPITXN will suddenly release the single "Breaking Through," marking his first official step as an artist on music platforms worldwide. "Breaking Through" captures the moment when the heart first pushes away the wall it built itself, delicately portraying the process in which emotions finally flow outward through cracks in a closed inner world to reach another being.
The song draws attention with support from TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Taehyun and American singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker. The narrative setting that the singer who lost their voice is heard again through Taehyun and Jeremy Zucker's voices adds depth to this project. Taehyun's delicate vocals and Jeremy Zucker's warm timbre achieve perfect harmony atop the dense sound EL CAPITXN built, delivering a powerful message that once the heart crosses a boundary, it no longer returns to its previous world.
Through this debut single, EL CAPITXN will showcase not only his producing capabilities but also a concentrated expression of his distinct artistic identity. In addition to releasing the song on major global music platforms, various visual contents that realize the song's mood will be released sequentially. In particular, behind-the-scenes content covering the production process and the artist's struggles will be shared to maintain deep communication with global fans.
Meanwhile, EL CAPITXN has signed a strategic partnership with global independent label EMPIRE to pursue the global market in earnest. EMPIRE, which partnered with EL CAPITXN, is a major independent label and distributor based in San Francisco, founded in 2010 by Ghazi. It has released music by global artists such as Shaboozey, Bebe Rexha, Fireboy DML, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Tyga, and others, proving its unparalleled distribution network and marketing system, and has shown strong influence by supporting K-pop artists' global activities in Korea as well.
VENDORS, the K-pop production company and contracting party led by EL CAPITXN, said the partnership was formed because of attention to EL CAPITXN's unique producing sensibility and unlimited potential as an artist, and added that the two parties plan to build a close collaboration system across the entire process from music production to global distribution. They said they expect to present a broader musical spectrum to music fans worldwide through EMPIRE's powerful global network and optimized marketing solutions, and that they will continuously showcase various cross-border artist collaboration projects.
EL CAPITXN's first single "Breaking Through" is available on global music platforms on the 26th (today), and the music video and lyric video will be released on the 30th on EL CAPITXN's official YouTube channel and VEVO.
