Mister Lies is the musical pseudonym for Nick Zanca, an electronic musician and producer whose work blends ambient textures with elements of house and downtempo beats. Emerging from the bedroom producer scene in the early 2010s, Zanca first gained attention with his 2012 debut EP "Dionysian / Waveny," which showcased his ability to create atmospheric soundscapes paired with emotive samples and understated rhythms. Born in 1992, Zanca began making music as Mister Lies while attending college in Chicago, where the isolation of the long winters influenced his introspective and moody sound.

With his follow-up full-length album, "Mowgli," released in 2013, Mister Lies solidified his place in the electronic music world, drawing on literary influences and personal experiences to craft a narrative-driven journey through sound. His work is characterized by a fusion of organic and synthetic sounds, creating a cinematic experience for listeners. Over the years, he continued to evolve and refine his style, with releases such as "Shadow" and "Wait?" displaying a matured approach to composition and texture. Despite a brief hiatus, Mister Lies returned to the scene with the self-titled album "Mister Lies" in 2019, bringing a sense of resolution to his artistic trajectory while maintaining the enigmatic and immersive qualities that define his discography. Through his music, Zanca has established Mister Lies as a project committed to exploring the complexities of the human condition through lush, enveloping soundscapes.
