Rich Brian

From the venue:

Rich Brian was a rap sensation before he even knew he wanted to be a musician, thanks to the success of a worldwide viral moment. It vaulted the young Indonesian rapper and Vine sensation into a certified rising star. He quickly confirmed he was more than a one-hit wonder with 2018’s Amen and 2019’s The Sailor. Both were released with 88Rising, and Brian established himself as an MC with something to say, a rapper with an artistic vision both singular and captivating. He went on global tours and sang songs from both albums to adoring fans. Then, he stepped away. He was ubiquitous for half a decade and then went quiet for nearly as long. A pandemic, a breakup, and a musical reset came like a rough ocean wave. Having learned to stay above water, he eventually emerged with a sonic masterclass, Where Is My Head? The project, which finds Brian redefining and cohering his artistic vision in a staggering way, is a sprawling tour de force. He’s making the most vulnerable and authentic art of his life, in turn deepening the connection with his ever growing army of devoted fans. “The process of this album made me so much more sure about my decisions as a songwriter.
