Twenty year-old gamer-turned-singer-songwriter d4vd (pronounced “David”) is a major presence on TikTok, YouTube, Spotify… basically anywhere you find music on the internet. Chances are you’ve heard him before, as a contributor to the billion plus streams he’s racked up across platforms. Just ahead of dropping his debut album WITHERED on Friday,
Apr. 25, d4vd pops by to share five songs that inspired the LP. Plus, he’s hits us with some deep vulnerability about what making the record has meant:
“This is the resurgence and the revival of bedroom pop. This one’s for Clairo. It’s raw, vulnerable, and unequivocally me. My fans are going to take away a piece of my life with this one.”
