RISING POP PHENOMENON D4VD RELEASES “WORTHLESS”


“What’s most striking about d4vd’s story isn’t the overnight success, but rather the immense potential in the songs of a teenager who only so recently discovered his talent.”

– Pigeons & Planes

“Here is a very contemporary kind of budding star. Still just 17, d4vd has already cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Alternative/Rock charts — though that probably undersells how famous he is.”

– FADER

“And while d4vd may only be 17, don’t let his age fool you. The musician is mature beyond his years (both in the personal and artistic sense). He has a unique ability to make the most inexpressible emotions palpable.”

– V Man

“crafts emotive indie-leaning gems, breaking through to the mainstream”

– DIY

Genre-defying artist d4vd releases his new single “Worthless” out today via Darkroom/Interscope Records. Listen & watch the music video HERE.

The fast-paced anthem and its bombastic bassline, echoing vocals, and guitar-heavy chorus are reminiscent of a faraway familiar track playing in a crowded room. “Worthless” expands the genre-defying artist’s repertoire. It follows “Placebo Effect,” which debuted earlier this year with its accompanying Trey Lyons-directed video – capturing d4vd in enthralling, visually captivating landscapes as he shares a familiar story of unrequited love. Watch “Placebo Effect” HERE.

In 2022, d4vd released two highly acclaimed chart-climbing singles, the RIAA Platinum certified “Romantic Homicide” a grungy, guitar-driven breakup anthem, and the RIAA Gold certified “Here With Me,” a slow-building beachy ballad. d4vd was recently named one of Zane Lowe’s 23 Artists To Watch In 2023 and named a hero artist for Amazon Music’s Artists to Watch 2023.

After facing copyright strikes on his gaming YouTube channel, d4vd began recording his own music inside his sister’s closet on the app BandLab. He stays true to his DIY beginnings as he continues to release genre-defying singles with influences ranging from R&B to Indie Rock.

The single follows on the heels of d4vd’s “The Root Of It All” tour, which sold out minutes after going on sale. Kicking off in his hometown at Houston’s White Oak Music Hall, the tour made stops at The Echo in Los Angeles, The Lower Third in London, Point Éphémère in Paris, and Baby’s All Right in New York, before closing out in Toronto at Drake Underground.
