Euphoria composer Labyrinth says he quit music after being treated like a “ST”
Labrinth details how he hits the bass while working on Euphoria.
On the eve of the third installment of the HBO series premiering, the composer (real name Timothy Lee McKenzie) took to social media to further explain why his music won’t be featured this time around.
“In this industry, people will lie without hesitation and still call themselves honest,” Labrinth wrote in a message on his Instagram Story on April 11, in a screenshot shared by Deadline. “So we decided there was no cap and we were going to remove all the music that was on it. We talked to HBO about it as long as we knew it was cool.”
The 37-year-old, whose orchestral sound is synonymous with the series, continued: “I quit because, to be honest, when I work for someone, that person’s vision is the most important thing to me. But I don’t let people treat me like crap.”
Eh! News has reached out to HBO and show creator Sam Levinson for comment.
This isn’t the first time Labyrinth, who have set the tone for Euphoria since season 1 with songs like “All For Us,” “Still Don’t Know My Name,” and “I’m Tired,” have talked about their time on the drama series.
