Gallant

Born in the nation’s capital, Gallant breaks outdated social archetypes as a male vocalist who wears the duality of raw vulnerability and inspiring strength on his sleeve. His introspective lyrics and superhuman falsetto encaptures multiple generations, all moved by his timeless talents that shape his poetic self-reflection in this attention-deficit society.

Labeled as “the voice that will redefine R&B” by NME, the young Los Angeles artist identifies his music as future soul, bridging contemporary productions with old school songwriting. The first single from his debut studio album – Ology, “Weight in Gold,” was handpicked by the esteemed Zane Lowe as the “Single of the Week” during Apple Music’s widely anticipated launch.

Selected to play with Elton John and at the White House, Gallant became music’s worst kept secret, and his personal project, the ‘In the Room’ original live performance series, attracted household names like Sufjan Stevens, Seal, Patrick Stump, and more. Soon, coverage from publications like The Fader, Pitchfork, and Entertainment Weekly catapulted him into the conversation as the next breakthrough artist to watch.

 

Holy Ghost!

The first single from the album (“Epton on Broadway”) was released on February 1st and the album will come out April 26th on West End Records.

Last Fall, Holy Ghost! released an EP which was produced by the legendary Tom Moulton (also put thru West End Records).

Holy Ghost! have previously toured with LCD Soundsystem, Empire of The Sun , Chromeo, New Order and played Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governor’s Ball, Osheaga, Outside Lands, etc.
