Gus Dapperton

If you've followed 25-year-old Gus Dapperton's career of bright and charming singles and EPs to 2018 album "Where Polly People Go to Read," you'll have realized that the singer-songwriter-producer also released his first album, "Orca." The album explores human pain and suffering, but also healing and redemption. Gus' creative decisions in finding a raw sound to match those raw emotions didn't come easily. "I'm a big proponent of putting myself in vulnerable positions in my music," he says, but admits that confronting those feelings "was an opportunity to be open that I was afraid of." But he pushed himself and, with the help of his friends and family, came out the other side stronger. Watch for more new music in 2022!
