American artist vaultboy will make his Australian live debut this June.
The singer-songwriter of sad bedroom pop, indietronica will headline intimate shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. "The time has finally come. . . HYPE to announce my first tour in Australia! You guys have been with me since the beginning and it's time to sing these songs together."Inspired by the likes of Alexander 23, Lauv and Blackbear, vaultboy is a creative driven by conversational lyricism and the human condition.
Since his debut single release in May 2021, 'Everything Sucks' has garnered over 250 million streams across all platforms, over 700k Shazams, and hit and held the Spotify Global Viral Chart #1 spot for two weeks.
vaultboy found his fame on TikTok, where he now has over 1.7 million followers, contributing to his three million (and growing) monthly listeners count on Spotify.
His music and online presence took the internet by storm in 2021 with his viral debut single and he's grown and maintained a dedicated fan base ever since.
We asked vaultboy to recommend his Top 5 artists who found their voice on Tik Tok. "Okay, in no particular order – here are five artists that either have come from the TikTok scene or are a part of it in some way."
Knox - 'Not The 1975'
The first is Knox. He makes pop-punk kind of music, and he does it really well. He has a song out right now that's called 'Not The 1975' and it's great. He's a friend of mine, but he's also just such a sick artist. He works really hard, he's got a great voice and he's just a sweet guy. So I would say Knox is one.Livingston - 'Last Man Standing'
Livingston makes Imagine Dragons-esque pop, and he's fire. I think he's seemingly a strange dude, but like he just radiates this kind of confidence in his music that I really appreciate and I find it really inspiring for me and other artists making stuff, and so yeah, he's cool.Artemas - 'I Like The Way You Kiss Me'
Let's see, Artemas is another one. He's blowing up right now. He's kind of like dark R&B vibey music, but he's got a song that's trending right now, 'I Like The Way You Kiss Me'. His melodies are fire and his production is so sick. It's really dark and kind of dirty and grungy and I love it. It's really great. He's a newer one, he's the most recent find.ASTN - 'How Soon'
Another one is ASTN (pronounced as Austin). He's an R&B singer who leans into more classic R&B too. I don't know what it is, but his music just scratches the itch in my brain. He blew up on TikTok partially from doing R&B versions of songs, and that was great, but his originals are so good. So I'm glad that some of them are getting some love too.Peach PRC - 'Josh'
I think we're on number five. I'm going to shoutout Australia with this one with Peach PRC, who is great, and she's doing her thing almost like Britney-type-girly, 2000s-pop, synth-pop sh.t, and I love it. She's great. My roommate actually put me on to her. She's a big fan and yeah, Peach is just fire.I'm excited to hopefully see her live one day because she seems awesome, like she puts on a great show. That's the thing too, a lot of people I feel like are not really going too hard with the live shows, but from what I've seen on the internet of her, she really puts in the work to put on a really good concert so yeah, I love that and she's great.
d4vd - 'Sleep Well'
Honourable mention: Another one that's also great but it's number six on the list. . . is d4vd. He's massive now too. He's got some huge hits, and he comes from TikTok. He just started making music too, a real internet success story, and he’s just a really great artist, beautiful melodies in the stuff that he writes, it's just crazy.Vaultboy 2024 Tour Dates
