Hi, I'm Vik!
DIY, 30-something, female songwriter, producer, & lyricist. Music is my love language. As Masquerade, I make electropunk & post punk music for fun, learning, and catharsis. 

I am honoured to be one of the first 1,000 people to become a VerifiedHuman™ Musician, which is a global certification standard for human-made creative work—like Fair Trade, but for creativity. VerifiedHuman™ signals authenticity, transparency, and integrity in creative expression and certifies people to build trust in their work.

Additionally, I joined New Bohemia, the world’s first sanctuary for authentic human creativity in the digital age! My music is part of a warm community of creatives who all share and support one another without generative-AI content in the mix. 

I'm also a proud member of Conformity Is Death (CID), an independent music collective all about growth, friendship, and freedom of expression.
