About
One glance at the eye-catching manicure, wavy midnight-colored hair, and trend-setting style, and you know it’s Huddy. However, his music may be even more identifiable. Pumped up by crunchy punk distortion, head-nodding hooks, and the kind of lyrics you get tattooed, the Los Angeles singer, songwriter, and guitarist bulldozes a lane of his own at high speed.
Huddy officially introduced himself with the single “21st Century Vampire.” Fans sunk their fangs into this restless riff-loaded banger, racking up 40 million streams as Los Angeles Times christened him “a snarling singer-guitarist with his own radio-ready songs, following in the footsteps of his longtime idols.” He delivered again with “The Eulogy of You and Me” and the acoustic guitar-laden “America’s Sweetheart.” It seized #1 on YouTube, tallying 15 million views and 35 million-plus streams and counting. “Don’t Freak Out” [feat. iann dior, Tyson Ritter, & Travis Barker] illuminated a knack for stylistic shapeshifting with attitude intact. After racking up 100 million streams in less than a year and receiving acclaim from Vogue, Interview, i-D, PAPER, and Nylon, he asserts himself as just the pop punk idol we need on his 2021 full-length debut album, Teenage Heartbreak [Immersive/Sandlot/Geffen Records].
In his debut year, Huddy was nominated for an iHeart Radio Music Award, was named one of Billboard’s 21 under 21 and was included as one of Forbes Magazine’s Forbes 30 under 30 list.
In July 2022, Huddy released the pop-punk ballad “All the Things I Hate About You”, which took the internet by storm as an anthemic, evocative and emotional track that speaks to anyone who has ever been burned by someone close to them. The song went viral on TikTok with 35M global streams, #1 TikTok Trending, 268K TikTok Video Creations, 1B TikTok Views, #1 Trending on YouTube, #1 Genius Chart, Spotify US Viral Chart, 50+ playlist adds in under a week, including New Music Friday, Pop Rising, Big on the Internet, Teen Beats, Pop Sauce (playlist cover), Singled Out (playlist cover), POV (playlist cover). When impacting radio, Top 10 most added POP two weeks in a row, TOP 10 most added ALT two weeks in a row.
Most recently, he made his festival debut at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas, then Jingle Ball and Poptopia in 2022. Last summer Huddy toured the U.S. with Oliver Tree where he performed to 40 cities of 5000 cap sold out venues.
Huddy is currently setting the stage for a new project 2024 that is sure to spin music fans on their heels as he explores new sounds and tackles edgier themes.
