Come Summer With Me being my case and point. Alaskan is all about making you feel like you can catch some smooth sailing on his tunes."

Now Alaskan is currently working on new music taking a step away fromthe softer musical style hes become known for being quoted as saying "when I started to write new music I never wanted to have a set idea of what music I would create, due to where I was at in my life I felt more inclined to draw on more of an electronic influence as opposed to some of the more pop sounding songs I've made before, I feel like the new material packs more of a punch, has bigger teeth, but I feel at the same time I haven't completely left my roots behind, the sound is accessible and catchy, but in a more mature and subtle way".

In February 2013 Alaskan announced he was working on his debut album and has hinted at a smaller release prior to this. It is unconfirmed whether or not these would be released this year.
