Saint Pepsi started in December 2012 as an Ableton exercise, but is now 21-year-old Ryan DeRobertis' main outlet for songwriting and production. The Long Island-based musician's first release with Carpark is the "Fiona Coyne" 7-inch, to be released in August, which will be followed by a full-length album in the fall. Saint Pepsi got its start with four mixtapes of new wave and synth-pop samples. As DeRobertis developed his sampling technique, he branched out into disco and funk music. The netlabel Keats Collective released the Hit Vibes album in May 2013. Around the same time, Saint Pepsi received even more attention for his "Call Me Maybe" remix, a captivating re-working of the Carly Rae Jepsen hit.

"I'm drawn to tuneful melodies; complex chord structures; outlandish synths and drums; and I like to take pop a capellas and see how I can warp the songs while keeping the melodies almost entirely intact," he says. The "Fiona Coyne" 7-inch showcases DeRobertis' talent for crafting his own melodies. DeRobertis sums up his ambitions simply: "I want to make pop music for freaks, basically.
