[TOMT][SHORT FILM][2000s-2010s] Weird short film where a musician makes a wish for a “killer hit” and people’s heads explode when hearing his music

I'm trying to find a weird short film/video that I saw years ago and it's driving me crazy. Another person actually messaged me on Facebook asking if I remembered it too, so I know (hopefully 😅) that I didn't invent this.

Here’s what I remember:

\* Live action (not animated)

\* Probably from the 2000s–2010s (maybe looked slightly older)

\* Felt like a weird fever dream / dark comedy / horror short film

\* A young male musician is alone in his apartment/living room, sitting on a couch

\* A genie / demon / magical being appears and talks to him (I remember a genie, but it could have been some kind of demon or strange figure)

\* The musician wishes for fame/success, something like: “I want a killer hit” or “I want a hit that kills” (maybe not exact wording)

\* The wish backfires literally

Very specific scene I remember:

A girl is sitting on the couch while he plays music for her (possibly acoustic guitar?) and her head suddenly explodes in a gore/comedic way.

Another detail:

I vaguely remember his music later being played on the radio. He realizes people are dying from hearing it and calls someone to warn them not to listen — but it's too late.

It felt more like a short film than a movie, possibly something from YouTube, Vimeo, a horror anthology, festival short, or something that circulated online/Facebook.

Does this ring a bell for ANYONE? 😭
