Driftwood Choir cements the musical union of two curious creative spirits—Ed Prosek and Drew Southwell (a.k.a. Portair)—whose songwriting eloquence and acuity matches their clear proclivity for adventure. Born in California and based in Berlin, Ed instantly hit it off with the Australia-born Drew, bonding over a spirit of wanderlust both personally and sonically. The pair forged a path together, emerging with their 2025 debut album [Nettwerk]. Two distinct paths brought Ed and Drew to Driftwood Choir. Ed had attracted a fervent fanbase with a series of solo EPs, including The Riverbed [2014], Truth [2016], Light as a Feather [2019], and The Foreigner [2023]. Hailing from the other side of the world, Drew built a devout audience under the name of Portair, captivating with The Light That Gives EP [2021], The Ice That Breaks EP [2022], and Learning How to Die EP [2023]. During the fall of 2023, Ed and Drew met in Berlin where they linked up for a drink and made a decision to make music together. Inspired by this newly unearthed working relationship, they created their latest body of work. Now, Driftwood Choir’s travels brought them to a point where they can uplift and inspire together. “I hope you connect to what we’re saying in your own way,” Drew leaves off. “Maybe you’ll be inspired to put down your screen and find authentic experiences outside. If anybody relates, we don’t take it for granted.”
