Lucid Kidd may be, well, just a kid. But he is undoubtedly wise beyond his years. Not to mention that he comes from a part of the world that isn’t exactly a hotbed for young artists creating “edgy, melodic, urban pop.” That’s exactly what Lucid Kidd is doing, though. Born the day after Christmas in Vilnius, Lithuania, the multi-talented artist is ready to conquer America with his unique – and highly enjoyable – brand of music. Lucid Kidd has just released “G n T,” the first single from his forthcoming project. “G n T” and its accompanying video is out everywhere now. “I’m very proud of this song,” shares Lucid Kidd. “Essentially, it’s based on the idea of being at a party or a show or somewhere you should be communicating and having fun, but your emotions take over and make you feel unwanted. This song is very personal to me.” Lucid Kidd discovered a passion for music at 10, when he started taking guitar lessons and tinkering around on his grandmother’s grand piano. Then, his sister introduced him to the XXXTENTACION song “Look at Me,” and the rest is history. By the age of 13, Lucid Kidd was making his own music. Trying his hand to no avail at producing, replicating simple beats, and rapping over his own beats, he eventually pulled out beats from YouTube and started creating songs. It wasn’t long before he was creating three songs every day – recording, mixing, and experimenting all on his own. TRACK + OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW As Lucid Kidd continued to hone his sound, the young artist slowly gained attention, and began collaborating with his friend Lil Skar. The two crafted an entire catalogue of music and were soon called on to perform at local bars. Creating buzz in the local music scene, they eventually gained support from the most popular rap group in Lithuania, Flying Saucer Gang. “The culture is very different in Eastern Europe,” he shares. “Growing up there allowed me to see the real world and how harsh life can actually be. Especially in winter, Eastern Europe is a very cold, dark and depressing region which probably fuelled my creativity.” Now, Lucid Kidd is primed to introduce his music to America and beyond. His soon-to-be-released project boasts titles produced by Fast Life Beats (LouGotCash, Coi Leray, Perri Jones, Young Paris) and IKENNA FuNkEn (Kevin Gates), and collaborations with Corey Chorus (Rihanna, Keke Palmer, Estelle). With any luck, we’ll soon get to see Lucid Kidd perform live, which he has big plans for. “I can visualize a set up with a DJ, Keyboard player, programmer, guitarist, visuals and projection to accompany the set alongside a light show,” proclaims Lucid Kidd. “I want it to be a full experience.” In the meantime, his new project, which is set for release this summer, includes “G n T,” as well as the songs “Nothing Back,” “Today n Tomorrow,” “Smooth Sailing,” and a few others.
