In a sea of EDM releases, Jared Hallock’s “My Destiny” rises as a genre-bending outlier, whispered, weird, and wickedly charming. A Boise-to-Nashville transplant known for his experimental work under the Project213 alias, Hallock swaps synth builds and beat drops for sultry narration, unexpected soundscapes, and Dadaist absurdism in this theatrical take on fate and infatuation.


The track opens with a slippery bassline and distant whistle that immediately disorients. Hallock leans into this tension, layering whispered vocals inspired by The Ying Yang Twins and Snoop Dogg over cinematic snaps and dramatic pauses. It’s less of a club banger and more of a fever dream with a BPM. There’s something undeniably captivating about its restraint, how it flirts with sensuality while simultaneously poking fun at its own intensity.



Lyrically, “My Destiny” is a monologue from a narrator trying to play it cool in the face of awe. His “destiny” appears beside him, casually radiant, while he attempts to hide the inner spiral of obsession and hope. Hallock doesn’t define what destiny means; it could be a person, a goal, or simply an idea, and that open-endedness makes the track all the more hypnotic.


The music video takes this narrative to its most literal and surreal edge. Using a retro collage animation style, Hallock builds a tennis-themed love story that’s as much a satire as it is a confession. Our unlikely hero competes on a court of cosmic longing, chasing the affections of a spotlight-drenched starlet who barely notices his existence. Between slo-mo smashes and fantastical montages, the video offers a visual metaphor for desire: awkward, exaggerated, yet somehow sincere.


“My Destiny” is not your average EDM track, and that’s exactly the point. It invites you to let go of structure, abandon genre expectations, and embrace a little weirdness. In doing so, Hallock proves that charm, comedy, and complexity can coexist beautifully in a three-minute dance track.
