High Sunn

High Sunn is the primary creative outlet for San Francisco-based musician Justin Cheromiah, who founded the project in 2014 at the age of 14. Emerging from the prolific 'bedroom pop' scene of the mid-2010s, High Sunn became a central figure in the 'dreamo' micro-genre, blending the atmospheric textures of dream pop with the emotional vulnerability of midwest emo and the rhythmic energy of garage rock.

The project is characterized by an immense discography of EPs and singles, often recorded with a lo-fi aesthetic that emphasizes tape saturation and heavy reverb. Cheromiah's sound is defined by jangly, melodic guitar work influenced by 80s post-punk and C86-era indie pop, paired with lyrics focusing on adolescent romance, isolation, and suburban life. Critically, High Sunn is viewed as a pioneer of the modern lo-fi indie movement, representing a shift toward hyper-prolific, home-recorded artists who bypass traditional industry gatekeepers to build massive digital followings. His work has influenced a wave of younger artists utilizing similar 'chorus-pedal' aesthetics and DIY recording techniques.
