WHAT IT IS: Born in Yorkshire, England, multi-instrumentalist YUNGBLUD plays guitar, bass, piano and drums. He released his debut album, 21st Century Liability, on Locomotion/Geffen in 2018. He kicked off 2019 with “Loner,” which NME praised as “one
of his biggest anthems ever.” YUNGBLUD & Halsey f/Travis Barker’s “11 Minutes” followed and has since amassed more than 226m streams. Stereogum called his music “undeniably potent” and noted, “YUNGBLUD dissects the hypocrisy of his elders more sharply than most.” While his music deals explicitly with the issues faced by his generation, it also resounds with hope and a vision of unity.
