Dayo had dreams of becoming a music superstar. That dream was alive until he was struck with a condition called spasmodic dysphonia at an early stage, a cruel twist that stopped him from singing, as every attempt brought pain. But that didn’t stop Dayo. As he grew older, he found another way to connect with music, becoming a prominent music producer known globally for creating quality music.

Still, he never felt truly satisfied. Deep inside, the desire to sing burned. So he took the risk singing through the pain even after his doctor warned him he might lose the ability to speak if he pushed too far. And yet, he pushed. Finally, after three months, he recorded the single he had dreamed of.

That was when his life ended.

A gruesome accident… and then, opening his eyes, he found himself in a completely new world one where all the art, music, and movies he knew had never existed. Excitement filled him… until the familiar dread struck. He still had the same condition that once robbed his  ability to sing.

He was devastated.

Then

DING!
SYSTEM INITIALIZING

There was hope to sing again.

The office was dark except for the blue glow from the wall. Dayo had been sitting in front of the open panel for two hours, motionless, while the interface ran its calculations. Five folders sat in the system queue, each containing a mastered EP. He didn't touch them. He just let the algorithm work.
