Twin Pumpkin is an independent musical project created by Brazilian artist and music producer Izzy Castro. The project was born out of personal tragedy, as Castro began creating music after the death of his father. He produced and recorded his first EP, Spook Like Halloween, entirely in his bedroom. The EP showcased Castro's unique sound and style, which would become a hallmark of Twin Pumpkin's music.

Since then, Twin Pumpkin has released several highly acclaimed works, including Monolith, which was praised by industry professionals such as Lucas Silveira from the band Fresno for its outstanding production quality. Twin Pumpkin's other releases include Sunflower Daydreams, which was a lo-fi collaborative effort with artist Mary More that veered in a different direction from their earlier works. The Post Horror Mixtape, a compilation of previously unreleased tracks and b-sides, was released at the end of 2019.

In 2020, Twin Pumpkin continued to experiment with its sound, releasing the punk rock-infused track "I Hate Myself, She Hates the World, We Wanna Die" and the electronic and experimental single "Black Frog" (also featuring Mary More). In 2021, Castro, along with Mary More and Measyou, released the double EP M1DN1GHT//1NAP3RF3CTW0RLD. The EP was accompanied by an audio drama that tells the story of a dystopian future in which artificial intelligence has taken over the remaining human population in smart cities after wars and destruction. The work features themes of cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic fiction and showcases a blend of electronic, pop, rock, reggaeton, and hyperpop music styles. The EP also includes audiovisual material, such as music videos, visualizers, and illustrations.

With nearly 8 million streams on Spotify, Twin Pumpkin has gained a significant following in Brazil and has collaborated with several prominent musicians, including Fresno and Lenine. Castro is not only the driving force behind Twin Pumpkin's audiovisual works but also collaborates with artists from various genres on other projects.

Overall, Twin Pumpkin's unique sound, powerful lyrics, and visually stunning audiovisual works have garnered praise from critics and fans alike, cementing the project's position as one of Brazil's most exciting and innovative independent music acts.
