AUGUST 08 releases his debut project, FATHER, via 88rising and Red Bull Records, today (11th May)
Leading up to this date, the genre-defying artist shared ‘Funeral’, the first single off of ‘FATHER‘, which reached #25 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart and racked up nearly 500K streams in less than one month. His videos, for ‘Funeral‘ and second track ‘Lately‘, combined for over 300K views.
Another standout track, ‘Father Issues’ is a pulsating, wound-up confession, and it perfectly portrays how AUGUST 08 describes his music:
“Crying on the dance floor”.
AUGUST 08 has been receiving warm recognitions from tastemakers, including Pigeons & Planes, DJ Booth, and Vibe Magazine, since stepping out as a solo artist. An award-winning songwriter, AUGUST 08’s credits include DJ Khaled’s multi-platinum hit, ‘I’m The One’, Mic Lowry’s ‘Oh Lord’, and Sabrina Claudio’s ‘Orion’s Belt’.
“On the cusp of skyrocketing very high, very soon” – i-D.
