“Before MITO, there was Insanity,” shared IAN previously on his upcoming new project. “The ‘Dear Insanity…’ EP serves as a prequel to the expansive MITO universe. Spotlighting Mr. Insanity, who first appeared in the MIITO short film, ‘Dear Insanity…’ follows IAN’s journey to and throughout the dreamlike realm known as ‘The Other Side.’ As he traverses through The Other Side, IAN slowly begins to lose his sanity bit by bit, thus turning into his new alter ego ‘Mr. Insanity’ at the story’s climax.”

Dear Insanity… arrives nearly 15 months following the release of IAN's 2022 full-length studio album, Moodswings In To Order, which enjoyed immense global success debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, No. 6 on the World’s Albums chart, and No. 7 on Spotify's Top Albums Debut Global and US charts respectively. The project has since accumulated more than 50 million streams to date in the US alone solidifying IAN as one to watch and earning him coveted spots on prestigious summer festival lineups such as Coachella, Head in the Clouds NY and LA, Lollapalooza, and many more. The accompanying MIITO short film, a testament to IAN's artistic brilliance, was also directed and edited by the multi-faceted artist himself. The captivating film came to life during a sold-out, whirlwind 4-month world tour that spanned North America, Latin America, the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The tour was met with tremendous enthusiasm from fans across the globe, further cementing DPR IAN's status as an international sensation.
