An evocative dance gem that radiates with life. 

Petty Poser (aka Chris Piro) is a multi-talented artist known for crafting infectious, ear-pleasing tunes that linger long after the first listen. Having lived in musical hotspots like New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, and San Francisco, Chris has soaked in the diverse sounds of each city, shaping a style that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Using his moniker “as a nod to his motivations in art,” Petty Poser credits his time in New Orleans for igniting his passion for composition—a spark that continues to fuel his creativity. His latest release, “We Are the Wanderers,” channels that same dedication into an enchanting dance experience.

Starting with an inviting blend of bright, dance-inducing beats, “We are the wanderers” bathes us in its nostalgia-infused warm pop sound before immersing us in its uplifting exploration. The lyrics “Under the glow of distant cities / We find our way / Every breath becomes a spark / Every shadow learns your name/ Close your eyes / The world turns away” encourage us to find our way through the darkness and never stop searching for the light. 

Fueled by its ethereal vocals and some wonderfully dreamy nighttime vibes, Petty Poser gifts us with an evocative dance gem that radiates with life. So press play and explore the unknown with “We are the wanderers.”
