glaive
Growing up in the small town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, glaive was first drawn to the sounds of radio-friendly pop songs he’d listen to in the car with his mom. Soon after his listening pulled him into the nascent world of SoundCloud rap. During the pandemic in 2020, he collaborated with friends he met online, forming musical collectives and experimenting with production. His subsequent rise was meteoric, powered by a steady stream of new music that quickly earned him acclaim and a devoted following. The artist’s three EPs to date have received widespread critical acclaim, landing him at the top of Best Of lists from The New York Times, The FADER and more.
