The band started expressing influences from outsider punk to Fourth World, and became known for their chaotic and increasingly incendiary live shows. The band relocated to London to make the most of their burgeoning reputation, and having heard them at the Brixton institution The Windmill, producer Dan Carey invited them to his studio; releasing a string of ne singles on Speedy Wunderground and the Town Centre EP (2019) which cemented their reputation. An album deal with visionary label Warp followed, and the hype grew further. About FearDorian Website | Facebook | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify FearDorian is ready to carve out a lane as a rapper that matches his prolific production resume. The teenage Atlanta artist spent 2024 becoming one of the most in-demand producers of the underground internet rap scene, playing a key role in crafting the sonic worlds of quinn, xaviersobased, NolanBeRollin, Polo Perks, and BabyxSosa, while also proving his mettle as an artist himself. Released in March 2024, FearDorian’s self-titled debut is an album that exhibits a confrontational wail of teenage angst and adolescent existential dread juxtaposed with manifestations of the high-flexing, big baller life he desires, providing a sneak peak at an artist actively finding his voice. His subsequent project, A Dog’s Chance, in collaboration with fellow experimental oddballs Polo Perks and AyooLii, coalesced in a fusion of distinct styles, showcasing FearDorian’s ability to adapt as a producer, making everything from cartoonish Milwaukee sample trap, to Warped Tour inspired, grimy New York drill. Songs such as the dreamy “Boyband” (1M+ Streams), and the sing-along cypher “Ricky Eats Acid”, proved FearDorian could hang with the best on and off the mic. His contributions as a producer match the prolificness of his solo work, with his self-titled debut being lauded by Pitchfork, The FADER, NoBells, FLOOD Mag and Passion of the Weiss. With a year of rapid growth behind him, FearDorian is taking those experiences and channeling it into his new album Leaving Home, a bold, coming-of-age record where Dorian sharpens his writing skills, proving he can build a world for himself just as well as he has for others.
