About YUNGBLUD

Since exploding onto the scene with his 2018 debut album 21st Century Liability (Locomotion / Geffen Records), YUNGBLUD has traveled the globe and brought his rebel-minded, hip-hop infused rock-and-roll to an ever-growing legion of fans. In the midst of his nonstop touring, the London-based artist has built a one-of-a-kind bond with his young audience – a deeply felt solidarity that served as a major touchstone for his new six-track EP, the underrated youth, which includes lead single “original me,” a collaboration with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds plus “hope for the underrated youth” and “parents.” Cumulative global streams of YUNGBLUD’s songs now exceeds 699 million. YUNGBLUD recently wrapped a North American sold-out headline tour and is currently on his UK/European headline run.
