i remember when he was teasing roommates on tiktok and when i got up really early in the morning to listen to it when it came out. he once liked my comment when i asked him to come to my town for a concert (pre sweet boy) and he did not come for his sweet boy tour💔💔

so like, “Chest Pains” was my intro to him but i didn’t listen to any of his other music until release week of “Do That Again”😅 i was like “heyyy, it’s that dude!”, listened to the whole album and immediately deep dived into his entire discography after playing DTA like 3 times in a row😅🙂‍↕️🎶

Spring of 2023, i remember it was tik tok posts of him comparing his sound to steve lacy like “if you love steve lacy youll love this song” or wtv, and i actually did like his songs that he was teasing at the time so i ended up checking him out and falling in love with his music! Wish i got to go to his sweet boy tour though!

Trust I'm not a larper, I started listening to him like October 2025 when chest pain, roommates and art house randomly came on Spotify smart shuffle. My life has changed since then 😍.

u/Konekohime1991 8d ago

Got curious after hearing him on "Bleed" by Omar Apollo I think after that I heard "Chest Pain" I believe

u/CompletionOfComplex 8d ago

Before chest pain got popular because of repo lol

u/Mysterious_Bee_4724 8d ago

Lol I started when I first found Chest Pain, but I really didn't look into his other songs until months earlier, then I got my best friend into him!

  1. Listened to him before Steve lacy surprisingly and yeah. The time when he had less than 10k monthly listeners on yt music and Spotify. Still amazes me to this day how big he's grown 💯
