Yungblud

Background

Yungblud was born on August 5, 1997, in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. His father is Justin Harrison and his mother is Samantha Harrison. He has two siblings, Jemima and Isobel. Yungblud gained an interest in music naturally when he was young; his dad owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was a musician. Yungblud grew up listening to the Beatles, the Clash, and the Jam. He wrote his first song, about a girl from his high school, when he was 11. His mom didn’t like his earliest songs but still encouraged him to compose more. Yungblud had a fashion sense that bent the masculine norms. He wore lipstick, nail polish, and straight hair. This made him feel unwelcome among his classmates and preferred to hang out with his teachers instead.

Yungblud released his first single, “King Charles” in April 2017. In September of the same year, he released “I Love You, Will You Marry Me.” In November 2017, he released his final project for the year, “Tin Pan Boy.” Two months later, he released “Polygraph Eyes,” a song about sexual assault against girls. He released the music video on YouTube on March 14, 2018. Harrison released his first album, “21st Century Liability” on July 6 and headed to the US.

Yungblud attended the MCM Comic Con on October 25, 2019, to promote his comic book,” Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club.” Five days later, he released the music video for “Die a Little” to take a stand for mental health awareness. Yungblud was nominated for four “NME” awards from 2019 to 2021.
