HWIN Blooms With ‘Just Like a Flower’ EP

HWIN is the culmination of Johnny Hwin’s artistic journey. As a seasoned producer and songwriter, HWIN first made waves in Cathedrals, an enigmatic electro-pop duo who amassed over 60 million streams. While Cathedrals thrived in its fusion of electronic textures with emotionally charged songwriting, HWIN’s solo work distills those influences into something more intimate and immediate. Just Like a Flower reflects this next phase – one rooted in profoundly personal storytelling yet designed to thrive in spaces where music and connection flourish.

Just Like a Flower marks HWIN’s progression from acclaimed producer to cultural architect. The EP weaves a tapestry of contrasts—intimate yet anthemic, underground yet accessible —refracting diverse musical influences through the prism of community experience.

“NYC forces you out of your comfort zone. It keeps you honest, but it also shows you what’s possible when you build something real. That’s what 57 is about. That’s what this EP is about.” – HWIN

With the release of this EP, HWIN unveils his community-driven collective’s record label, 57. This iterative, community-driven approach to music creation represents a new model of artist development in which the audience becomes an active participant in the creative process. But fostering a creative community isn’t a new value of Johnny Hwin’s – as he was also heavily involved in The Sub in San Francisco, an art and tech collective that helped launch his Cathedrals project. As 57 Records launches into the world, Just Like a Flower is the first bloom in what promises to be a long, evolving season of creativity. And for HWIN, this is only the beginning. Just Like A Flower is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
