California-born and Berlin-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ed Prosek has released new single “All Things In Due Time”, out now. The track arose from Prosek’s reflective state during his wife’s pregnancy, “exploring the tension between longing, uncertainty, and the quiet wisdom that comes with slowing down.”

Prosek shares:

My wife and I had recently moved out of the city to a 300-year-old farmhouse in the black forest when I wrote this song. The adjustment was wonderful, overwhelming, and a welcome distraction. In the autumn, there is this thick mist that blankets the area each night that we’d never seen before, and I remember walking through it and feeling like I was suddenly transported into some kind of astral plane. One where I could almost reach out and touch the past or the future. It filled me with this deep longing for something I didn’t yet understand, and in this song, I chastise myself for being impatient to reach the unknown.

Growing up with a Czech father and an Italian mother, Ed Prosek’s family roots always reached towards the old world. He studied classical trumpet until the age of twenty, before attending the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He eventually lived in the UK for a spell before finding his way to Berlin to set roots and create music. 

In 2023, Prosek released The Foreigner, a six-song EP that “finds him grappling with identity, belonging, and the dissonance of calling multiple places ‘home.’”

That same year, Prosek debuted his collaborative project, Driftwood Choir, alongside artist Portair. Their self-titled album is a ten-track “meditation on change, growth, and the passage of time.”
