Artist Highlight: spiderblush

Emerging as a prominent figure in music that is here to stay is spiderblush, a 21-year-old artist hailing from Indiana. Their journey began with the release of their debut track on SoundCloud in 2021, although the roots of their musical passion stretch way back to their early years. From childhood, spiderblush was always drawn to songwriting and music creation, and this flame was further fanned during their time in high school, thanks to the inspiration they found in singer-songwriter Grace Vanderwaal. The spark that ignited their foray into music production was kindled by none other than artist Lucas Lex who now goes by fairys, propelling them into the vibrant world of crafting melodies and beats.


spiderblush's latest single, "twice as fast," stands as a testament to their evolving artistry. Describing it as a moody breakcore track, spiderblush affectionately dubs it "bedroom dance." The song's meaning is multi-layered, revolving around the theme of moving on rapidly from a painful experience. It's as if they've convinced themselves of their emotional recovery so completely that discerning the truth becomes challenging. After collaborating with Vrdnyn on dance beats, the connection with this particular composition was instantaneous. The initial recording took place in a single night, followed by partial mixing. Subsequently, the track was polished to perfection with the assistance of their engineer fangs in the digital studio.

spiderblush's musical evolution is a tapestry woven from a rich array of influences. Their journey began in the sheltered embrace of artists like Bridgit Mendler and Michael Bublé during their formative years. However, it was in middle school that their musical horizons expanded dramatically. The resonating beats of house and dubstep on YouTube were the first threads of their sonic exploration. This initial fascination paved the way for a deeper dive into the sounds of luminaries like Billie Eilish, the energetic rhythms of Red Hot Chili Peppers, the introspective compositions of Twenty One Pilots, and the captivating works of various indie artists.


Reflecting on their journey, spiderblush acknowledges the importance of taking more risks earlier on. The hindsight wisdom they would impart to their past self revolves around the desire to explore various avenues of music and refine their craft sooner. While they harbor a sense of wishing they had researched and delved into music production earlier, they also embrace the trajectory their own artistic path has taken.

Outside the realm of music, spiderblush finds solace in writing. With a published poet's badge of honor and a background in screenwriting from university studies, their creative pursuits extend beyond just musical notes. From directing to editing, their artistry transcends mediums, underscoring their holistic approach to creativity. Through their music and multifaceted artistic endeavors, spiderblush will continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of talent and passion.
