Barton is an established artist whose journey through the landscape of disco has been marked by both critical acclaim and commercial success, including four singles charting on Billboard’s Dance Chart—most notably “To Call My Own,” which reached #18. Despite these achievements, Barton’s creative path has always been driven by a search for deeper authenticity and artistic alignment.

His current project, The Afterlife, represents a pivotal moment in this evolution—a disco manifesto that reimagines classic pop songs and traces an emotional odyssey through love, loss, and ultimate empowerment. Drawing on years of experience and a proven track record, Barton brings a singular vision to this album: a sonic landscape that honours disco’s original essence while boldly pushing its boundaries, celebrating the genre’s pre-commercial roots and its enduring promise that a better world is possible.

With The Afterlife, Barton speaks directly to the dancer within us all, offering a multi-layered experience where melody, voice, rhythm, and intricate detail invite listeners to move beyond the surface and discover what truly inspires. Entirely self-produced and performed, this project is the culmination of Barton’s artistic journey—a body of work that finally captures the essence he has been seeking all along.
