“White Fences is about finding your own path, letting go of the expectations, and being yourself.

Seamlessly blending indie, acoustic rock and folk elements, Sleeper creates an enchanting musical tapestry that fascinates listeners. His expressive lyrics strike a chord with audiences, drawing them into relatable narratives.
