WHAT IT IS: This 21-year-old singer/songwriter began his music career posting acoustic covers on SoundCloud in High School. Attending Indiana University, French met producer Triegy, and together they self-released their first single, “Fall for You,” which charted on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50. Following this release, the duo unveiled a string of four singles, including “By Myself’ (17m streams) and “Dying Alive.” Propelled by his growing success, French traveled to L.A. to work with Grammy-nominated producer Dru Decaro, together creating his debut collection, ‘natural colors, which houses “love ride,” “superstars,” “sweet home,” “hearts of gold” and “someone new.” In mid-2018, he was invited by Chelsea Cutler to be the special guest on her Sleeping with Roses Tour. The two sold out the 17-show North American tour in less than three weeks. French aims to take 2019 head on, touring with Quinn XCII this spring and dropping new single “breaking all the rules” on 4/19.
