    Career[edit]

    His first single "Gentleman", released in 2017 when he was 15 years old,[4] has been described as a "street anthem", amassing over 82 million views on YouTube, as of March 2023.[5] His next single, "Tropical", peaked on the UK Singles Chart at number 73 in February 2018[6] and was later certified Platinum by the BPI in 2022.[7] In May, his track "Genes" featuring Chip peaked at number 90.[8] That same month, he was featured on Nines' track "Oh My", which peaked at number 44.[9] "Oh My" would later be certified Silver in 2020 and Gold in 2023 by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[10]

    On 15 May 2020, he released a single from his collaboration extended play with American record producer Kenny Beats, titled "Bad Luck", along with its music video.[11] They later released the EP, titled Selhurst SE25 on 4 July 2020, along with a music video for the song "Little Bird" from the project.[12] On 23 October 2020, he released his debut studio album, titled Different Dude.

    Musical style and artistry[edit]
