A powerhouse in the realm of sensual dark wave, English singer Artemas writes music that stays with you long after the song fades out. Through passionate lyrical delivery that slices through pulsing pop beats, Artemas has become a standout star within the dark pop landscape. Since the age of six, the singer-songwriter has devoted his life to music, taking up professionally writing songs at 16 years old and releasing his first run of singles in 2020.

Sharing his debut mixtape I’m Sorry I’m Like This in 2022, he gained significant attention upon the release of his sophomore mixtape Pretty in 2024. After the release of his viral single “if u think i’m pretty,” the singer was discovered by listeners around the world. Facing comparisons to the likes of Rex Orange County, Artemas was widely recognized for his alternative approach to R&B, as well as his emotive lyricism.

However, it wasn’t until releasing his 2024 mixtape Yustyna, featuring the groundbreaking single “i like the way you kiss me,” that Artemas was truly launched into superstardom. The track went viral and topped charts around the world, and it currently holds more than one billion streams across all streaming platforms. From the single alone, Artemas was recognized as a true dark wave star due to his undeniably rebellious and magnetic artistry.

Now, the singer is celebrating the release of his latest mixtape, Lovercore, released in October of 2025. Currently on the road for The Lovercore Tour, Artemas will bring his otherworldly sonic identity to audiences across North America. Having already spent the month of February making his way across the West Coast, he will spend March playing in select cities like Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, and New York, with Henry Morris and Ella Boh as support.
