Craetorus Starting out as a solo musician from late 2017 - 2021, Darla Rae formed “Craetorus” in 2021 based out of Kitsap, WA. In recent years, fellow friends from Kitsap- musicians Jon Garber (bassist), Lychen Gipaya (drummer), Ryan Anthony Brooks (lead guitarist) & Danilo Martinez (keyboardist) have joined creative forces to bring light to themes of oppression, reflection and anti-racism amongst our blended BIPOC/LGBTQ+ communities. Their lyrics are described as contemplative with tinges of melodic catchiness, with enough to leave you yearning for self reflection. Inspired by art pop, avant garde jazz and r&b, psychedelia and all that is strange in the ways we navigate the world; they’ve made a conglomeration of pieces to make Craetorus’ sound distinct of others. Their first ever EP was released in September 2023, “Odes to the Toads” and is available anywhere you stream music.
