Emerging from Brisbane’s indie scene in late 2023, coolthekid crafts music that sits in the quiet space between introspection and atmosphere. Blending alternative R&B, indie pop, and cinematic production, his songs feel like late-night conversations—vulnerable, layered, and unfiltered. With a sound that nods to the emotional candor of Frank Ocean and the storytelling depth of Kendrick Lamar, coolthekid writes from the inside out. Tracks like “COOLAID” and “NO MORE” explore the quiet fears of growing older, the ache of self-doubt, and the slow unraveling of identity—all wrapped in reverb-soaked guitars, haunting synths, and stripped-back beats.
