BBY GOYARD, one of the most exciting, innovative and boundary-pushing artists emanating from America right now, has released his scintillating new album TASTEMAKER.
The precocious, elusive star resurfaces with a new unfiltered sound that immerses listeners in a thematic journey of sin, desire and transformation. TASTEMAKER promises an immersive journey inspired by Dante’s “Inferno” and channels the raw experience from his 2024 tour with death metal band Portrayal of Guilt, blending the intensity of early 2000s punk and grunge with modern innovation.
The LP as a whole embraces alternative, punk, and grunge, with a visceral, action-packed vibe that speaks to those seeking something rebellious, transformative, and thought-provoking. The young artist has successfully merged his underground, avant-garde style with a bold, genre-blending approach that is both timely and timeless.
Speaking on TASTEMAKER, BBY GOYARD states: “I wanted to make something that was inspired by my youth and love of the rock and roll genre, with my own spin on it… trying to branch out from what people expect from me. I’ve never been the one to stay boxed into a certain sound.”
BBY GOYARD is widely regarded as an innovative and boundary-pushing artist who has carved out his own distinctive lane. Considered as one of the pioneers of trends now popular in rap, BBY GOYARD has influenced the genre with his use of sped-up and pitched-up vocals, the repolarizing of DJ tags (notably with DJ Smokey), and the popularization of “Lore” in everyday speech. Additionally, his incorporation of distorted bass has become a defining characteristic of much of modern rap.
The definition of a new generation experimental artist, BBY GOYARD masterminds the entire spectrum of his world, from production to art direction.
