brakence - the marroW tour

Brakence brings the marroW tour to O2 Academy Brixton in London, a concert by the American singer-songwriter, rapper and producer whose music spans pop, rock and indie.

Brakence is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, producer and musician from Columbus, born in 2001 and active since 2016. The act is signed to Columbia Records. Its style draws on hyperpop, blending Midwest emo with emo rap, so the music moves between sung melodies, rapped verses and the production work that shapes each track.

The genre sits across pop, rock and indie, and this tour, titled the marroW tour, brings that catalogue to London on this visit. Brakence is one of the artists in the current wave of emo rap and hyperpop, with songs that combine confessional lyrics and rapid, layered beats. Listeners who follow the Midwest emo strand of the music will find the material most familiar, while newer fans can approach it through the blend of singing and rapping.

O2 Academy Brixton hosts concerts and shows in London, and this evening suits fans of the act's pop, rock and indie sound. The venue is a practical choice for a night built around a singer-songwriter and producer who writes and performs across several styles.
