About Yungblud

Dominic Richard Harrison, better known by his stage name Yungblud, has rapidly ascended to become one of the most exciting and talked-about artists of his generation. Hailing from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Yungblud burst onto the music scene with a sound that defies easy categorization, blending elements of punk rock, hip-hop, indie, and pop into a vibrant, genre-bending sonic tapestry. His music is characterised by its raw honesty, tackling themes of mental health, social injustice, love, and rebellion with a disarming vulnerability and a fierce sense of urgency.

Since his debut single “King Charles” in 2017, Yungblud has cultivated a dedicated global fanbase, affectionately known as the “Unstoppable Kamikaze Force.” His electrifying live performances have become legendary, a whirlwind of energy, crowd interaction, and unadulterated passion. He is not afraid to push boundaries, both sonically and visually, challenging societal norms and encouraging his listeners to embrace their authentic selves. His music is a rallying cry for the outcasts, the misunderstood, and anyone who has ever felt like they don’t quite fit in.

Notable hits that have solidified his place in the music landscape include the anthemic “California,” which captures a yearning for escape and reinvention, and the cathartic “Machine Gun (F*** The NRA),” a powerful protest song that showcases his willingness to use his platform for social commentary. His debut album, “21st Century Liability,” released in 2018, was a bold statement of intent, brimming with infectious energy and thought-provoking lyrics. This was followed by “The Underrated Youth” EP in 2019, featuring fan favourites like “I Think I’m OKAY” with Machine Gun Kelly and Blink-182’s Travis Barker, a collaboration that further highlighted his ability to bridge different musical worlds. His second studio album, “Weird!,” released in 2020, continued to explore his signature sound, delving into themes of adolescence, identity, and the complexities of modern life with even greater maturity and artistic depth. His latest work continues to push his boundaries, proving that Yungblud is an artist constantly evolving, always surprising, and always staying true to his core message of acceptance and rebellion.
