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.
