The Songbook: YUNGBLUD

YUNGBLUD discusses how he wrote “Loner” on an old out-of-tune piano that used to belong to his grandmother while visiting his parents on Easter Sunday and describes how the audience reacted to the song when he first performed it in public the next day. He also recalls how only a year before that, all the labels in the UK said, “Guitar music - Nah. Never going to work.” How wrong they were! YUNGBLUD also discusses his YUNGBLUD persona and what he hopes people will feel when they listen to his music. YUNGBLUD is an English singer, songwriter, and actor.
