Justin Taylor Phillips, better known by his stage name Crywolf, started out as an uptempo dubstep producer. After his debut EP Ghosts, his style began to evolve away from the familiar and into the experimental. In late 2015, Justin released his debut album Cataclasm which was a complete change of style and tempo for the artist. In 2017, his follow up EP Skeletons was released. In this, he evolved and defined the sound, going more cinematic and revisiting his old electronic days.

His song “Whisper” was used in Lifetime’s 2014 feature film, The Choking Game.
