We had the pleasure of interviewing Curtis Waters over Zoom video!
Nepali-Canadian alternative artist Curtis Waters returns with his sophomore LP BAD SON. Packed with an eclectic mix of audacious pop bops, punchy rap cuts, and courageously vulnerable alternative tracks, BAD SON is visceral and compelling, an intimate glimpse into Curtis’ journey as a young man of color navigating the highs and lows of fame. Through dual single release “HIMBO” and “GOD’S LONELY MAN” Curtis finds the ethos at the heart of BAD SON, creating the personas of The Himbo and The Jester to showcase the opposite ends of the spectrum of success. On the fourteen track LP, Curtis explores the duality of stardom and his duality of self: an immigrant and the son of Nepali immigrants maneuvering through the entertainment industry and its ideas of who gets to be on the top.
More Info:
After bursting onto the scene with viral hit “Stunnin’” in 2020, Curtis Waters has made a name for himself as an up and coming pop icon through his witty, topical lyricism and unflinching creative honesty. On his debut album Pity Party (which has amassed over a billion streams) Curtis explored themes of mental health, notions of grandiosity, and reconciling his complicated multicultural identity through a journey of self-exploration. His transparency and veracity have resonated with many, securing him a loyal fanbase. His 2022 single "MANIC MAN" has racked up over 5 million streams and ushered Curtis into a new era of creative expression as he collaborated with artists like TiaCorine, Shrimp, and greek to define his new sound. The 23-year old singer, songwriter, & producer has earned over 150K YouTube subscribers, 55K IG followers, and 5.6 million likes on Tik-Tok - earning him over 100M views across platforms. He has been covered by the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Pigeons & Planes, partnered as an ambassador with MCM, Mercedes, and Haagen Dazs, and has collaborated with iconic artists like Kim Petras, renforshort, and Brevin Kim. His BAD SON LP is a true immigrant story, a reflection on a young, brown creative being thrown into the mainstream overnight, while navigating deep issues of self-doubt and cultural identity along the way.
