The story of FELIVAND is that of an artist continually growing into herself. Equipped with a Garageband-outfitted iPad in high school, she spent adolescent lunchtime hours secreted away, toying with recordings, initiating herself into the worlds of production and beat making by absorbing and creating as much as she possibly could. Once home, she would upload her self- described “experiments” to Soundcloud at an impassioned rate, enthralled by the enthusiasm of a recently unearthed obsession. In the space of these private, unassuming hours, and her discovery of artists like James Blake, Frank Ocean and Kali Uchis, the sound of FELIVAND was cultivated. It’s a synthesis which gave the impression of appearing fully formed when she self-released a handful of singles in 2018, culminating in her radiant and breezy debut EP, In Bloom, which now garners over 18 million streams combined.

FELIVAND still records in much the same manner as she began, however she has since opened up to outside collaborators, songwriters and producers, transposing her creative process from the bedroom to studio. Freed from the onus of self-reliance her songwriting found new air. 2020 saw the release of her slinky and sophisticated sophomore EP ‘Nerve’ and 2022 saw the release of her long-awaited debut album ‘Ties’, garnering praise from Billboard, COLORS, NME, Rage, Bandcamp, triple j, Rage, 10 Magazine and Lyrical Lemonade along the way. FELIVAND’s honest and vulnerable songwriting continues to be the prism in which she makes sense of herself and the world around her.

The name Freak Slug encapsulates Genovese’s artistic world both perversely and perfectly. Hugely influenced by ‘90s cult heroes like Ride and Mazzy Star, Freak Slug is all about hitting a mood. Her releases under the name so far – debut 2020 EP Videos and its viral hit “Radio” (13.5 million Spotify streams and counting), and follow-up EPs I’m In Love and Viva La Vulva – might have introduced listeners to her “more summery, happy, LA sound”, her debut album I Blow Out Big Candles is playful, fun, but not shying away from the darker sides of both sound and psyche, the result is a debut that builds a whole world for it to live in. I Blow Out Big Candles dreams as big and unshackled as Freak Slug herself.

Based in Oshawa, Ontario. Freddie has carved out his own lane in music, reaching a global audience with a combination of gritty lo-fi sounds, vintage samples, and lyrics that veer between the bleakly philosophical and humorously macabre. Bold and daring, Freddie’s music takes inspiration from the horrorcore and dark trap of ’90s Memphis, TN — something he discovered by accident during his teenage years — as well the intensity of metal bands like Korn and Meshuggah.

In 2020, Freddie released Suffer, his debut EP for RCA Records, created in collaboration with his ongoing production partner Ryan C. Evolving his persona even further, in 2022 he released his debut album Freddie’s Inferno, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Spotify Global Charts.  Flashing a predilection for distortion and red-lining bass, the young rapper leverages extreme imagery, damning metaphors, and creative threats to embolden a rap persona — part Freddie, part Hannibal Lecter, and part Lucifer. The album spawned the runaway hit “Limbo.” Now RIAA Platinum-certified (with over 315 million streams on Spotify), the ground-shaking track resonated particularly with the online gaming community, inspiring a deluge of fan-made Call of Duty videos that further propelled the track’s consumption.

As his star ascended — and his catalog amassed over 2 billion streams — Freddie took to the road. He whipped fans into a frenzy during his set at 2023’s Rolling Loud Miami; followed that up with a 20-city headlining tour powered by Rolling Loud; and joined $uicide Boy$ on their sold-out arena tour, joining them on the iconic Madison Square Garden stage to perform their collab “Provolone and Heroin.”

Following a yearlong break, Cease & Disintegrate is the launchpad for what’s destined to be Freddie Dredd’s biggest year yet, featuring extensive live dates as well as plenty of new music.
