Known for his vulnerable lyricism full of coming-of-age confessions paired with a cinematic, lo-fi sound, the release of his sophomore album (Un)Commentary in April of this year has garnered him further international appeal. With bangers such as ‘Devil Doesn’t Bargain’, ‘The Way You Felt’, ‘Older’, ‘Shadow of Mine’ and ‘Speakers’ – the album quickly generated over 200 million streams combined.
The numbers don’t just stop there – he’s got an impressive resume of over 4 billion global streams and 1 billion YouTube views. He’s had a recent run of sell-out shows across North America and Europe this year and this may be the last time he plays such intimate shows.
