After gain his fame from KEPLER , HUSH released his first own album named MONOPOLY last year (2015). The card board game was the tiny version of Capitalism in the real world.

The things on the outside were all chance and fate that we could do nothing to change.

Thus, he wrote a song called SAME to call on the equal rights for gay marriage. “Marriage is not every gay’s choice, and not every gay wants to get married. Let marriage become everyone’s choice, because that’s why marriage equality worth-treasured.” It was HUSH's famous quote.
