who is Southy?

A rapper-singer who writes words about everything important to his key beliefs; relationships, mental health, and politics.

Southy was born in Orkney, until moving to South East London when he was a kid. Experiencing different places as a young person is what influenced his sound in the music he creates, growing up with his mother playing traditional folk music, while also listening to every other genre at school, with friends and siblings (mainly hip-hop/underground ukrap) is why he does what he does.

what’s to come?

Southy plans to broaden his sound by working with other creatives - collaborating and fusing sounds to get somewhere unique.

After the release of his next EP, he’ll be working towards a 2026 summer of big gigs, festivals, and more releases.

Keep an eye out for all the new work.
