In 2023, Christian launched the Emotion 8 project — a name that reflects his core idea: exploring the eight fundamental human emotions through sound (inspiration, anger, sadness, fear, joy, surprise, trust, disgust).
He created a conceptual emotional cycle, with each track focusing on one emotion. He blended alternative metal with layers of synthesizers, samples, and electronic sound design.
Position and Goals Emotion 8 is not just music; it’s a way to channel the listener’s emotions into a powerful fusion of heavy and electronic sounds.
Christians believe that their music is a sonic shield against the emotional overload of the modern world. He wants every listener to feel: “I’m not alone” — that there’s a reflection of their inner world inside this machine of emotions.
About the song: This song is dedicated to Chester Bennington.
One winter evening, Chris LaKoy was listening to early Linkin Park albums and was inspired to create the song Straight 2U.
It’s about people’s drive toward something meaningful in their lives — about those who are searching for salvation
