ABOUT BLADEE:

Bladee first started gaining notoriety in 2013 for his self-released, emotionally charged take on rap.

Growing up in Stockholm and thus completely detached from any rap tradition, he was left to invent a new one – patching together disparate internet influences with his vibrant imagination, creating a new wave of uncanny and immensely influential, highly unclassifiable music, produced by himself and together with the Drain Gang crew (consisting of Thaiboy Digital, Ecco2k and producer Whitearmor).

Since then, Bladee has released three mixtapes, five EPs, four collaborative projects, and two studio albums, each adding a new chapter to his ever-growing mythos and providing a genre-bending blueprint for the next wave of online-based introverts. His sound extends from the murky lo-fi of his first mixtape, 2014’s ‘Gluee’, to the frostbitten futurism of his 2016 debut album ‘Eversince’, and the PC Music-meets-Young Chop melodic sweetness of his most recent solo project ‘Icedancer’.

His worldbuilding—a mixture of aspiration and real life—makes Bladee’s music unique. He brings out a wide spectrum of emotions between slow-burning ballads and highly charged pop hybrids, usually steered by the progressive instrumentals from his go-to producers, Whitearmor, Yung Sherman, Gud, and Ripsquad.

In addition to his musical output, Bladee creates multimedia visual art (recently exhibited at The Residence gallery in London), frequently used as cover art for his and other artists’ musical releases. He also serves as the creative director for Yung Lean’s clothing line, Sadboys Gear, and its various collaborations with brands like Converse and New Era.

Bladee is notoriously enigmatic; his lyrics are abstract, his visuals cryptic, and yet he is perhaps best described as an artist who finds happiness by just putting out a certain, peculiar energy, always attached to the idea of creating something truly beautiful, to follow his inner light and to evolve constantly.
