"There are no rules in art," Blackbear, aka Mat Musto, recently told Kerrang magazine! And the young man, with his angelic bad boy face and tattoos from head to toe, seems to perfectly embody this idea. From RnB to rock, he transcends musical boundaries and invents his own rules to win on all fronts.

Because music is all he knows how to do. When he's not collaborating with world-famous artists like Justin Bieber, Linkin Park or Billie Eilish, he's working hard on his own compositions, trying with great success to make his teenage dreams come true. Travis Baker, Jordan Pundik, the guys he listened to in high school are now guests on his albums. It's a definite revenge for this kid who started by making punk music in his friends' garage to escape a family ravaged by his father's drug problems.

It's also a way to stay alive. He is affected by necrotizing pancreatitis after years of excess and tells of his struggles in his lyrics, with a provocative authenticity that punctuates his "fuck you" like a signature. Before delving into more introspective thoughts, her biggest hit is and remains Hot Bummer Girl, the hit of summer 2019.

What's certain is that no one can fully grasp the true nature of this self-described "enfant terrible of music" who defines himself as "a real troll". But no matter, his genius continues to light up stages all over the world and deliver tracks without worrying about labels. With one goal: "to make the world feel something, whether it's positive or sad".
