The news follows the release of two major releases from the Houston-born artist this last year that established him as a genre-defying newcomer. The first, his debut EP Petals To Thorns, a masterful nine-track project with breakthrough hits including ARIA Double Platinum ‘Romantic Homicide’, a grungy, guitar-driven breakup anthem, ARIA Double Platinum ‘Here With Me’. The breakout debut release was then followed by a complementary follow-up EP The Lost Petals; the five-song collection fits into the world of Petals to Thorns and serves as a more intimate and stripped-down glimpse of d4vd’s artistry and a continuation of that project representing a similar time in d4vd’s creative process that he wanted to share with fans before moving into his next phase of music. Across both releases, his intuitive command of lyricism shone, stemming from years of scribbling raps and poems in his journal since childhood, and his versatile interests shine in his music, drawing primarily from manga for his “real and grounded” narratives.

d4vd recently received a Streamy Award Nomination for ‘Here With Me’ in the ‘Rolling Stone Sound of the Year’ category. Earlier this year, he was honored as part of Billboard’s 21 under 21 and Variety’s Young Hollywood Impact Report lists. As part of their ‘Bummer Summer’ campaign, Spotify installed a d4vd statue in his hometown of Houston’s Buffalo Bayou Park. More recently d4vd played Spotify’s ‘Pop Rising’ show in Los Angeles, two sold-out headline tours, festival performances at Austin City Limits, Corona Capital Festival, and Tyler The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw and a string of shows supporting R&B powerhouse SZA on the second leg of her North American S.O.S. tour. d4vd wraps up the year with a special collaboration with 21 Savage for Call of Duty’s Modern Warfare 3 soundtrack and one tours one last round of shows in Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul before heading to Australian shores in early 2024.
