Background and recording
He would get fired from his job as a teacher and post music,[1] later gaining virality through TikTok. Leading to him signing a multi-record deal with Artist Partner Group.[2] Odetari recorded the EP experimenting with music production on his laptop, using his usual distorted sounds and samples, a process he described as utilizing a different type of an energy by chasing boredom and being open to inspiration.[3][4] He would say “Maybe I might not have the energy to record vocals, so I just make 10 beats instead and vice versa.” going further into detail, “I don’t believe any good art truly comes from you. It comes to you. It is an [energy beyond ourselves]. I find fasting to be important when seeking to tap into that energy.”[4] Odetari would collaborate with Roblox to host Door to Dusk‘s release party.[2] Odetari had felt that “I just kinda noticed that you’re not really competing with other artists anymore,” explaining that “I had to make it something else besides my music so that people could, at least, capture their attention and, then, introduce the music in that same content.”[2] The party was first teased in November 2023, and went on from December 6–12, 2023 (2023-12-06 – 2023-12-12). The album was inspired by video game franchise Kingdom Hearts.[4]
