Emerging alternative R&B artist Aidan has consistently celebrated his heritage while also pushing against the boundaries of gender binaries and the expectations of masculinity. Using his woozy and sprawling musicality as a creative outlet, his debut EP And It Was All For Love made a strong impression, with only a glimpse of vivid single ‘Crimson’ going viral. Aidan has crafted an enrapturing sonic world traversing R&B and soul, intricate lyrical prowess and vibrant visuals to immediately captivate us. Having amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok since his launch, and having sold out his debut headline show, Aidan is moving from strength to strength on his musical journey. -Malvika Padin
