UK-based indie pop artist Cavetown – real name Robin Skinner – released his major label debut album, SLEEPYHEAD earlier this year on Sire Records, featuring single Sweet Tooth, and most recently dropped new track Sharpener last month. Since launching Cavetown at age 14, the 21 year-old UK-based singer has racked up more than 650 million streams, nearly 5 million monthly Spotify listeners, and 1.5 million YouTube subscribers. He did so not with a viral hit or easy gimmicks, but rather pure heart, filling his YouTube channel with day-in-the-life, behind-the-scenes vignettes and covers. Coupled with his original, self-recorded music, Skinner’s unassuming-yet-captivating personality took the internet by storm, catapulting him to millions of streams and subscribers and stages around the world, including recent sold-out headline performances at venues like Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre, New York City’s Webster Hall and London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, as well as Reading & Leeds and TRNSMT Festival. Last year, he also co-wrote and produced mxmtoon’s critically-acclaimed album, The Masquerade.
