Setnour6
AKA: S6, ThisIsSetnour6, SN6
Setnour6 is a Canadian musician, producer, photo/video editor, coder, and remixer, best known for producing soundtracks for video games and video game modifications. Setnour6 was first active back in 2014 under the moniker “lifesaversepicness” on Roblox, and “the6guy6” on Happy Wheels in 2015. The name Setnour6 first appeared in 2015 on a website called Sploder, where he created games at the age of 11 and 12. Setnour6 then made a YouTube account in 2016, uploading video game content, playthroughs, and tutorials, and even reposted one song, under the moniker “Sixtracks”, back in April 1, 2016, which was his first actual video, but is since deleted and lost forever. Setnour6 got into Rap and Hip Hop and has first started rapping in 2017, deleting all of his old content, except for one video that was widely considered his first video, in which that video, as of 2021, was set to private. His first song, named Amnesia, was his first official audio. Setnour6 has also released three other tracks; Iz Lit, Schoolboy’s Life, and P.R.A.I.S.E., as well as releasing the songs “Short” and “Invested” in 2018, but along with Amnesia, they were taken down from YouTube, SoundCloud, and everywhere else.
His first album, Conflict is BAAAAAAD, was the first album, but also the least successful album Setnour6 has ever made, and he has taken it down and went silent. Three years later, Setnour6 released a surprise single titled A Human’s Mind (Universe), formerly Heavily Dark, along with the instrumental version in a “double pack”. Setnour6 has said that he tried to be as lyrical as possible, and that A Human’s Mind (Universe) was his first track to have a thesis. The same year, Setnour6 decided to release a track he remixed called Slowpieced, which is a remix of The Weeknd – Heartless. Setnour6 has said that he wanted to create a new movement of music remixing. Afterwards, Setnour6 decided to release a Mini-Album, as Setnour6 likes to call it, named An Illusion of Slowpieced, which contained three songs with the same title but in different versions.
Setnour6 then decided to release an original track called 08-08-2020/Just Me, which originally had explicit language. Setnour6 decided to release the clean version of 08-08-2020/Just Me to all streaming platforms. The explicit version of the song is on SoundCloud. After Setnour6 found another artist, named Klim Leitner, that used the same exact beat, he decided to remix 08-08-2020/Just Me to include both vocals and lyrics from the same artists. As of 2021, 08-08-2020/Just Me has been taken down and re-released as an album version for his first official mixtape “Faded Before The Break”, released on August 2021.
Almost a year later, Setnour6 released an EP titled Telemy Hilltops on his birthday, which shows off his softer and calmer side of him. Setnour6 did not want to stay solely working on Hip Hop, as he wanted to explore other genres of music. Around a week later, Setnour6 released a new song on YouTube titled “Within The Giant Cocoon”, which was an original soundtrack for a Terraria Modification titled MythMod. Two weeks later, he released the now-removed “Tusklands Tension”, which was also an original soundtrack for MythMod, but taken down due to clearance issues.
In 2022, Setnour6 started working alongside a newly formed modification group on a rebranded and remastered version of MythMod titled Everglow, which released on Christmas. Setnour6 released an original soundtrack alongside producers Shiryuu and windclimb titled “Moth Dance”, which is a theme song for one of the bosses in Everglow.
